## TR3

Most, if not all trle.net tr3 mods will work with proton 7, if unpacked and configured with dgVoodoo2
some new tr3 mods already comes with the tomb3 patch. A combination of tomb3 and dgVoodoo2 is recommended for the original game.

# Tips
## Recommended compatibility layer
- Proton 7.0 for TR3 - with dgVoodoo2
- Proton 5.0-10 for TR3
- Sometimes avoiding Ctrl and Alt will make wine/proton

- Use fsync or esync
- If you have problems witn FMV cut-scenes. Run winecfg go to graphics tab and tick "emulate a virtual desktop" use same size as you're desktop under. Or use dgVoodoo2
- Sometimes when you run tomb3.exe -setup you window manager will put the background over the configuration windows, for example in i3 mod+f "full screen key" or something similar like alt+tab could help you see the window
- The game will recognize your controller, left stick only, see [https://github.com/AntiMicroX/antimicrox](https://github.com/AntiMicroX/antimicrox)
