i guess i am in the minority here. I have had zero issues with edgers PPa. The latest driver is usually delayed about 3-7 days... but once it is there, it is very easy to update. The only thing you dont want to do is update nvidia driver and kernel at the same time.... that didnt work well.

I will probably keep using edgers but keep an eye on this going forward.

I have an update. Feral emailed me and had me test a beta for them. It works. I ran quick benchmarks since i am in a DR test all week. I got avg 39.9fps @ 4k and avg 45fps at 2k. It could be better, but better than i thought it would be. I let them know my results and hopefully they will be able to tweak it a little and make it slightly faster. But hopefully by this weekend, i can actually play it.

This is with amd [email protected] and Nvidia GTX Titan.

BTW... Feral's Customer Service is top notch. I will be getting more from them in the future.

Quoting: edddeduckferal

Quoting: FredOHas the game been tested with AMD Phenom II CPUs? I'm not too concerned about AMD GPU limitations, but the CPU could be an issue.

Quoting: Mountain Man

Quoting: doctorxI just got this back from support:
Thank you for your purchase of Shadow of Mordor. We are sorry to hear that you have experienced an issue.

Is your CPU an AMD Phenom II? If so, we are looking into an issue where this older CPU is unable to launch. We are working on a fix and hopefully will have good news for you soon. I will be in touch when I have more information.

It isnt a distro problem... but cpu issue. I have never had any issues tied to running an amd. I can still play most of my games in 4k even without much issue. Looks like they are aware of it and working on a fix though.

I wonder what they mean by "soon"? Hours? Days?

The AMD Phenom II is a pretty old CPU design now and it is missing some maths library features that modern games and compilers often use. With things like physics being able to use some SSE instructions can be very useful.

The Phenom II CPU does support SSE3 and older so we are looking into disabling the SSE4 optimisations to allow these older design CPUs to run the title. If you are own a Phenom II CPU and own (or are thinking of owning) the game please feel free to contact our support and we can keep you informed.

We don't want to give estimates before we investigated which is why we said "soon", if you make an estimate before you have fully investigated the problem you can find the internet usually turns it from an "estimate" to a guaranteed date within a few hours ;)

I can say the solution won't be before the weekend given it's 7pm on a Friday night in the UK right now but we plan to email people via support with a status update next week once we have some concrete news to report. We'll also likely distribute a beta update via the same method to those effected to verify the fix works once we have it before it's released on the main branch.

Thank you so much for the explanation! You guys are top notch! Ill be waiting.

Quoting: doctorxyea... that is exactly what mine is doing... all of my libs are there though... no idea what is wrong... every other game works. sent a support ticket in ...hopefully some help comes soon.

Quoting: edddeduckferal

Quoting: Mountain Man

Quoting: doctorxi wanted to play this...but crashes starting up.

Yeah, I'm not having much luck either. I figured out that there are two missing libraries -- "libSDL2-2.0.so.0" and "libSDL2_image-2.0.so.0" -- even though they're supposed to be included in the Steam runtime. When I installed the Ubuntu versions, it got me past the missing library error but then immediately crashed without even getting to the splash screen.

Contact Feral support with your setup information, however could you check a supported distro first just to confirm it's not that which is the factor?

xubuntu should be supported...
