14 DAY TRIAL // UK-based video games publisher Feral Interactive announced today the availability of Patch 1.1 for the Linux build of the Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor GOTY (Game of the Year) open world action-adventure video game.
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor GOTY Linux Patch 1.1 finally adds many of the improvements that users have requested for a long time, including a bunch of much-needed performance improvements under CPU-limited scenarios and better 7.1 Surround sound support. It also forces VSync on AMD Radeon Mesa drivers.
Additionally, the new patch promises to resolve a crash the occurred when attempting to swap the controller when launching the game, adds support for binding the extra buttons of your expensive gaming mouse (finally!), improves support for the Spanish language, and addresses a bunch of rare hangs and crashes when exiting the game.
Also patched are some minor text issues and the missing bodies, as well as other geometry elements for Nvidia graphics cards. Last but not least, the Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor GOTY Linux Patch 1.1 modernizes the launch scripts to support even more GNU/Linux distributions.
The patch is available for installation right now. If the game is already installed on your computer, you will receive it automatically. Don't hesitate to contact Feral Interactive at http://support.feralinteractive.com if you're still experiencing issues with your hardware, or just to give them suggestions for future patches.
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One around September-October 2014. A month later was also available for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 gaming consoles, and it was ported by Feral Interactive to the Linux platform eight months later, on July 30, 2015.
