VR support
Issues fixed
Color corruption
- Color corruption may occur if a program other than Windows manages the systems color profile (e.g. f.lux) and the game is run in fullscreen.
Workaround for color corruption[citation needed]
|
- Play the game in windowed or borderless fullscreen mode.
|
Serious stuttering on Linux
- WBPlay has issues with Linux 4.9+, causing serious stuttering in Mad Max and Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Feral is aware of the problem and looking for a fix.
Workaround for Linux 4.9+[citation needed]
|
- Play the game with Steam in offline mode. This prevents a connection to WBPlay and stops the stuttering.
|
Stuttering when auto-saving
- Every time the game auto-saves (which is very often), the game hiccups. This happens when the save gets written to the Steam save data location.
Workaround for auto-save stuttering[citation needed]
|
- Prevent the game from saving to the Steam save data location. Go into Properties of the 'remote' folder, open the Security tab and deny write access for all groups/user names. Auto-saves will continue to go to your Documents folder.

Game won't run in Steam Native mode (Linux)
The Feral Launcher requires libidn version 1.33 in order to work outside Steam Runtime mode, check if the Linux distribution has it in their repository, normally it would include the version number or a compat highlight, sometimes even both (Such as libidn-133-compat in ArchLinux's/ArchLinux based distro's AUR). If it is not present, it is possible to compile one from GNU's page, which also includes the instruction manual and commands that can be copied & pasted. Bear in mind that you should use sudo
command when you wish to install the compiled library.
A much safer option is to use the LD_PRELOAD
environment variable in Launch options if you fear that it may replace the recent version of libidn, after you have compiled but not installed it.
LD_PRELOAD=<path-to-libidn.so.11> %command%
Alternatively you can create a symlink of libidn.so.12 as libidn.so.11 using
ln -s /usr/lib/libidn.so.12 /usr/lib/libidn.so.11
as superuser/root if the package is not present.
