I get an error that framedyn.dll is missing when I try to launch the game, what can I do?


If you get an error message thats states that framedyn.dll is missing you will have to get this file on to your system. The file itself doesn't come with Tomb Raider Anniversary as it seems to be a part of the .net framework from Microsoft.

You can either install the .net framework from Microsoft or download the file from the internet, searching for "framedyn.dll" on google.co.uk should give a few download locations.

If you choose to just download the file on it's own, the following Microsoft knowledgebase article will help you find the correct location to copy it to:

As far as we can tell the .net framework is not installed as standard on some varieties of Windows XP like Windows XP Pro or Media Centre which is likely why this file does not exist.

I have a couple of virtual drives that I use all the time.

I have one installed but have never used it.

I'm aware of them but have never needed one.
