The patch we have been waiting on for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor [Steam, Feral Interactive] is finally live and fixes a major graphical bug on NVIDIA drivers.

tagline-image

You might not remember, but Mordor on Linux had a bad case of missing body syndrome. This patch will remove the need for any workarounds on later NVIDIA drivers.

Changelog:
- Fixed crash when swapping controller at run time
- Allow bindings of extra mouse buttons
- Fixed various rare crashes and hangs on quit
- Fixed missing bodies and other geometry on Nvidia
- Fixed 7.1 Surround sound support
- Fixed Spanish language support
- Modernised launch scripts to help on various distributions
- General performance improvements, particularly in CPU limited situations
- Fixed forced VSync on AMD Mesa
- Minor text fixes

Something not specifically mentioned in their changelog, but nice to see is that Mordor now uses the Feral launcher.

I absolutely love this game and completed it. I loved nearly every minute of it! If you still haven't picked it up, looks like now is an ideal time to do so. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: ziabiceBrief report on my PC using Mesa + radeonsi, FullHD and medium settings: game seems a little faster, still stutters, but is playable.
AMD GPUs aren't officially supported for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor on Linux, but still worth emailing [email protected] so the team there can look into this.

There is a way to skip the driver warning on Feral games? Its okay to see it the first time, but annoying when you are playing the games flawlessly for several days.

You can skip it on our newer titles, but not the older ones.

It can be done in Shadow of Mordor? If so, how?

Thank you Feral for keeping this older title updated, even if it took a while:-)

Nope, you can't skip it in Shadow of Mordor.
