New Tomb Raider PC Patch Offers Stability, Fixes

Crystal Dynamics has issued a new patch for Tomb Raider that should offer PC users of Intel and Nvidia chips some respite. According to the changelog, the patch should address the instability players faced with those hardware, especially for Nvidia users who faced a multitude of problems such as constant crashes to the desktop.
Additionally, the patch fixes an issue for some players who were unable to progress beyond the 'boat in the beach' area, and some minor glitches here and there. It should also improve Lara's TressFX a bit.
Complete changelog here:

• Addressed some stability issues on machines that have both Intel and Nvidia graphics hardware.
• Various small UI updates.
• Fix for players being unable to progress related to the boat in the beach area.
• Some fixes for crashes on startup and when selecting Options.
• Some improvements to TressFX hair rendering.
• Fixes for various smaller graphics glitches.
• Fixes related to the benchmark scene and benchmark mode.

To receive the patch, just restart your Steam client and the download should begin immediately.
Let us know in the comments if you noticed any improvements with the new patch. Nvidia apologized to users a few days back for being unable to provide proper support for Tomb Raider with their drivers, citing Crystal Dynamics' inability to ship a final code for tweaking. The company said it will roll out a new driver soon, and while it should smoothe out performance woes, Crystal Dynamics had to improve their code as well for better implementation. It seems they have kept their word, your turn Nvidia!
