This document is intended to help you answer any questions that you may have about Rise of the Tomb Raider™: 20 Year Celebration
Yes, achievements are supported by Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration.
If you are signed in to Steam, your achievements will be visible to you in-game and also to other players through the Steam application.
In Expeditions mode you can replay chapters from the main campaign, take on skill-based challenges set in different locations from Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration, or play new missions separate from the story.
When starting an expedition, you can select up to five cards that alter the mission. Some cards will grant skills or perks that reduce the expedition's difficulty, but also reduce the number of credits earned for completion. Other cards will increase the difficulty as well as increase the number of credits earned for completion.
You can customise which cards you wish to use to balance the difficulty/rewards to your liking. Cards also have different levels of rarity, ranging from one to five stars; higher-rated cards generally grant better perks or increased score multipliers.
Each time you complete an expedition, you will earn credits which can then be spent on virtual packs of randomised cards. You can also sell cards in exchange for more credits. To spend credits on card packs, select Marketplace from the Main Menu.
Most cards are single-use items, but foil cards can be used as many times as you like. Foil cards are easily distinguished by their gold borders and distinct shine on the card selection screen.
Yes.

There are several factors which have an impact on the speed at which Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration runs. Please see the Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration Performance Tips section in the ReadMe for ways to increase the speed at which the game runs on your computer.
If your CPU frequency scaling governor is set to "Power Save" mode, you may experience performance issues in Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration. When playing games, we recommend that you set your CPU frequency scaling governor to "High Performance" mode.
We have developed a tool called GameMode that can enact this process automatically. If GameMode is installed, Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration will automatically set your CPU frequency scaling governor mode. To find out more please visit the GameMode entry on GitHub.
If you wish to manually set your CPU frequency scaling governor mode, please follow the instructions below.
echo performance | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor. Press the Return key.If you wish to change your settings back to "Power Save" mode, simply follow the instructions above and enter the following line of code: echo powersave | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor.
Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration requires the Vulkan API to play, and without it the game will not run. Nvidia drivers come packaged with Vulkan by default, but AMD Mesa drivers do not.
To install Vulkan drivers for an AMD graphics card on Ubuntu, follow the instructions below. For other distributions, please refer to the distribution's documentation.
sudo apt install mesa-vulkan-driversPlease note: Once installed, you may need to update to a later version of the Mesa drivers before you can play the game. Please read Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration's system requirements to see which Mesa driver version is required.
Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration has been fully tested on Ubuntu 17.10. For the best gameplay experience, we recommend you use this distro.
The game should also work on other recent versions of Ubuntu, and may also work on other Linux distros; however, as the game has not been tested on these, it is possible that you will encounter performance and gameplay issues, and we do not currently offer support for other versions or distros.
The graphics card series and driver versions below have been tested, and these and higher series or versions will run the game without issues:
Nvidia
Series： 680
Driver version: 396.18
NOTE: Open-source Nvidia graphics drivers are not currently supported by Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration. Unfortunately, the current open-source Nvidia drivers do not support a number of the graphical features used in the game.
AMD
Series： R9 285 (GCN 3rd Gen and above)
Driver version: Mesa 17.3.5
Intel
Intel graphics cards are not currently supported by Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration.
Please note: This FAQ tells you how to force your graphics card to use the amdgpu kernel driver. This is considered experimental on older AMD graphics cards and may cause system instability; you follow these instructions at your own risk.
AMD 200 and 300 series graphics cards based on the 1st or 2nd generation Graphics Core Next micro-architecture use the radeon kernel driver by default. Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration uses the Vulkan graphics API, which requires the amdgpu kernel driver. You can force your graphics card to use the amdgpu kernel driver but may experience system instability.
To force your graphics card to use the amdgpu kernel driver, follow the instructions below:
For users running Ubuntu 17.10 or later
Open Terminal and enter the following command:
xhost +si:localuser:root; sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
When prompted, enter your password.
A text editor window will open. Find the following line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
Change the line to the following:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash radeon.si_support=0 radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1 amdgpu.cik_support=1"
Save the file and exit the editor.
Open Terminal and enter the following command:
sudo update-grub
Reboot your computer.
Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration will now run on your computer.
On Ubuntu, press the Super Key and the H key at the same time to minimise the game and switch to your desktop.
