tomb raider 2013 missing graphics settings

[joshwilkinson99]

in my version of tomb raider, i decided to play it after not playing it for a month and for some reason i only have the presets low, normal and custom available and i don't know why because my PC is more than capable of handling the game on max settings, i haven't deleted any of the games files and i have also tried reinstalling, which hasn't done anything

Go onto custom and set everything high

That is about the best graphics settings. Ultra is the highest.

If you really don't think there all the settings update your graphics drivers and see if that helps.

There are plenty of settings that are adjustable in game. And the preset options would be on the basic tab.

Those options are in the game, not at the load screen that you gave us. Once in game, you need to bring up the graphics options.

these are the highest settings i can apply inside the game http://imgur.com/N6k7z1s

What is your system? You likely lack the requirements to choose certain items. Perhaps you accidentally selected DX9 mode. It clearly has DX11 features grayed out.

i have an amd fx 8350 @4.6 and an overclocked gigabyte gtx 770 with windows 8.1 8gb ram

Is your game updated?

 

[joshwilkinson99]

it should be because i reinstalled it but i'll have a quick look

 

[joshwilkinson99]

yes it is updated

For what ever reason, you are not getting DX11 features. You might have a corrupted .ini file, or DX11, or perhaps a damaged card. Maybe you are using Vista, or XP, which don't support DX11.

i am using windows 8.1, i can run other dx11 games perfectly fine do you know how i could fix the issue?

I'd start by uninstalling the game completely, and maybe even find where the settings are saved so you can delete those files too. After a reinstall, everything should be normal.

i have reinstalled and deleted all of the game files and i have all of the options back now thanks for the help

i have figured out what the problem was, whenever i add sweetFX into the games folders, the settings disappear but when i take them out the settings come back, do you know why this might happen?
