Lara Croft And The Temple Of Amnesia

I’ve been meaning to play this for quite some time (preferably with friends) and was lucky enough to do so this afternoon. Unfortunately, I’ve discovered a bug that seems to randomly happen on certain systems that prevents the application from saving your progress. :zorak: I read around and discovered this bug has existed since release, and for whatever reason the devs never bothered fixing it. There isn’t even word of a fan patch that could fix the issue. Shameful…

This game had potential (I say had because it has pretty much been abandoned), and I was hyped to be able to play with more than just two people even with it being as buggy as it is during multiplayer. Oh, and surprise surprise it appears the console versions didn’t share these issues. :zorak:

I’ve uninstalled the game for now. Additionally I could install someone’s save file, or delete a particular folder, start the game, change a setting, and move some save files to get it to work… but I could invest that kind of time into playing and modding games that actually work. I guess I could test this on my laptop or the HTPC. If it works I could always play local coop with my bro.

I wanted to continue with recording the game to continue this style of series:

Alas, twas not meant to be I guess… I’ll have to apply this style to another game, if I can find something comparable.

More Lara Croft fun coming to Linux

Temple Of Osiris has been spotted as another possible candidate for my (and others obviously) another great game to run under Linux.

If you haven’t played it already I recommend it. It’s fun to play by yourself, but a LOT more fun playing with other friends even if you try to screw each other over. Here’s some of best gameplay bits:
