Greetings, just a general question with all these Tomb Raider patches that have been coming out - do they install any software on my machine that are dedicated to Epic in any way or is the connectivity with EOS handled via the Tomb Raider game exe?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yes they do and yes you use even if you had the epic crossplay disabled.

How you can corroborate this? Check for some EOS dll. Press Shift+F3 while you are running the game and check you task manager. Something of EGS is running while you are running ROTTR.

The conexion to Square Enix servers is now managed by EGS what it means in order to use your cards for the replay or any extra mode it is "traveling" trougth EGS (Unless you use an older build).

If you try to invite someone to Endurance mode you cannot do it anymore trougth steam (Even if you manage to invite him trougth steam if the other player accept the invitation he wont be able to join until you shared the special code that EGS generates for you). This dosent happend if you play on Build 811.3 where you can invite trougth steam even on a chat window (Unlike this patch).

Epic can suck it. These are troubling additions to my Steam-bought game.

Wanted to play Shadow of the Tomb Raider and learned it had recently also been 'updated' with this crap. So disappointed.

Ya. :( No more buying Square Enix games moving forward as I will always wonder, even if EOS isn't integrated at the time of release, will it be shoe-horned in later? Not gonna take that risk.

You could just use the older versions of the game. Newer games that had EOS since the launch are ♥♥♥♥ up. But olders like ROTTR, SOTTR and TR2013 wont have any issue with EOS if you decide to remain in an older version (And ironically older version without DLSS run better than this version).
