| Root Cause | Solution |
|------------|----------|
| Antivirus blocking | Add the entire game folder (...\Steam\steamapps\common\Tomb Raider) to the AV exclusion list. Also add the Documents\Tomb Raider folder. |
| Controlled Folder Access | Go to Windows Security → Virus & threat protection → Ransomware protection → Allow an app → Browse to TombRaider.exe. |
| Fragmentation (HDD only) | Run defrag D: /U (replace D: with game drive). For SSDs, do NOT defrag; instead, run TRIM. |
| Mixed patch / mod residue | Delete bigfile.000 and bigfile.001 manually, then verify game files. Steam will fetch clean copies. |
| RAM instability | Run MemTest86. If errors found, replace RAM. As a temporary workaround, lower texture quality to reduce memory pressure. |
