Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Reviewed For Linux

Quoting: BeamboomI got one - ONE - complaint about SoM, and that's about the game and not Ferals porting. It's in regards to the skins. In every cut-scene or even some special effects ingame the default skin is used.
Fortunately, I read this before (here on GoL) an thus chose the default skin. Thanks to the one who was posting this.

Quoting: KeyrockIt's the only thing that was possibly a graphical glitch that I saw, everything else rendered just fine.
I could, at least in the tutorial, not make out where the camera is looking, but I blamed my stupidity. Do you see camera line of sight?

Quoting: KeyrockI think I'm going to pre-order this. I know, I know, pre-order bad, I share that sentiment, but this isn't a case where I'm pre-ordering blind, I'm more informed than had I seen reviews, I've actually played the game and I know for a fact that it exists on Linux, runs well on my particular hardware configuration, and is a game I definitely want to play more.
I did the same for Talos Principle; Due to the demo, I was sure it's working, support is good and the game would be fun.

Quoting: KeyrockAs for 3rd Party DRM, it's probably Steamworks. All recent Kalypso titles seem to use it.
That wouldn't be third party from Steam's view.

Quoting: JSVRamirezMy EnhancedSteam puts a banner on the game's page saying;
"Warning: This title uses 3rd party DRM"

Can anyone give some more detail about this?
My Not-so-enhanced-Steam says "3rd party DRM: Kalypso Launcher (Account registration optional)"

Quoting: liamdaweFixed it. Editing is generally left for people of editor status, so random submissions from anyone can't get messed up too much (if that makes sense?).
Thanks for fixing it. It's probably reasonable to have editing rights not spread too wide.

Quoting: d10sfanDemo didn't run very well on my system, was getting a constant 16 fps, which was odd, and it made even the menus hard to navigate.
I had around 60 (Intel quad core, Nvidia GTX 660 - driver 352.21, 8 GB, 1680*1050) with the medium video profile chosen by the game.

Quoting: fizzgigLittle mistake in the article. The game is based on the Unreal Engine.
You're rotally right. Wrote it on my sheet and then entered the wrong name here. :-/
Liam, would you? (Is there a possibility I could edit my own articles?)

Developers Of Strategy Game Halfway Show Linux Sales & Support Requests
15 Aug 2015 at 6:30 am UTC Likes: 1

Quoting: scaineQuick calculations, then - they sold 520'sh Linux versions, which generated 262 support requests.
No.
~524 Linux versions sold (26200 * 0.02)
~79 support requests for all platforms (26200 / 1000 * 3)
~24 support request for Linux (79 * 0.3)
So about every 20th Linux sale created a support request.

Shadow of Mordor Nvidia Benchmarks On Linux

Quoting: STiATI've bought it now, and it really runs smooth on my i7 with GTX760.

Just having strange freezes here and there which are pretty annoying, but ok.
CPU governor, maybe?

I wonder if we should have articles about such stuff. What to setup and how...

Quoting: SabunIt looks like we do have to push them quite a bit for more information, but they are willing to respond. I asked for this confirmation of proof several hours ago here [External Link] and Swen honored it with that Twitter post.
Thanks for pushing!
