More details about this release:

General
-EXE has been redone from scratch, this should resolve issues where the exe would not open on some PC's
Controls
- Added proper right stick input reading, therefore JoyToKey is no longer mandatory for camera movement with controllers
- Improved mouse handling, lowering the mouse sensitivity a lot is no longer needed
- Added right stick input to the look camera in camera relative mode
- Increased camera movement speed of the 360 camera compared to the PS2 version
- Both the Look camera and 360 camera are no longer inverted on controllers (this can be customized for the mouse via the mouse settings)
- Fixed useless & duplicate devices showing up on the controls menu

Gameplay
- You can now perform stealth takedowns on moving enemies
- You can now enter Look mode during many more actions such as running, walking, hanging, shimmying and stealthing. It is still kept disabled during some actions due to bad camera behaviour
- You can now move in Look mode if using camera relative controls
- When leaving the look mode, the camera will always reset to be behind Lara
- Added unused "death" theme that is present in every level. The current music will stop playing and the death theme will play upon dying by any means (and also if you get arrested)
- Lara & Kurtis should never walk before running when not intended in either movement mode- Improved animations when a weapon is equipped during stealth (Note: Animations when hugging a wall and shooting from cover is also planned to be improved, this is being experimented with at the moment)
- Lara & Kurtis will now properly target the enemy (they could still shoot at them but it wouldn't look like they were targetting them) when using a two handed weapon in stealth, previously this only worked with dual pistols
- Fixed the game going into the Look camera instead of the Combat camera in some cases (Restoration Project bug)

Quality of Life

As we all know, AOD has a very complex graphics settings menu and the ingame graphics menu is not enough to set everything to the recommended & best options. Several changes have been done to make setting the graphics settings to be the recommended and best options way easier:
- VMR9, Fog and other options will now be enabled by default- Reworked default graphics options to make them closer to the best settings
- Changed default Aspect Ratio to 16:9 and changed default gamma to 1.0 from 1.3
- Switched the default shadow rendering to Nvidia Shadows from Pixel Shader Shadows
- Removed resetting of resolution when changing the "graphics quality" ingame
- Multithreading option is now obsolete and can't be enabled as it did nothing impactful besides making the characters look glitchy
- Replaced multithreading button functionality in the launcher settings with a switch for movement type, so that your preference can be saved (yet to be added for the ingame movement type switch buttons)

and some more tweaks to make things easier to understand and to use...
With these changes, the ingame graphics settings can now be safely used without messing up your settings and the highest settings will set everything to near perfect settings. The only options you still need the launcher for will be:

- Aspect Ratio, if you are playing at anything other than 16:9
- Multisampling Anti Aliasing

Miscellaneous
- Added "Story so Far" option to the main menu, which will play the Myth of El Hawa short film made by Tomb of Ash and written by Murti Schofield
- Added button to access the extras menu (this was present in the PC version already but could not be accessed)
- Re-enabled third option in extras menu (which used to be a trailer for TimeSplitters 2)

Changed the extras options to:
- TRAOD Definitive Edition Trailer by TRJTA
- Making of (same as PS2)
- Developer Interview Video
