 +
===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 your Linux distribution has it in their repository, normally the package will include the version number to show that it is not the most recent version (Such as '''libidn11''' in ArchLinux's/ArchLinux based distro's Community repository). If it is not present, it is possible to compile one from [https://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/manual/html_node/Downloading-and-Installing.html GNU's page], which also includes the instruction manual and commands that can be copied & pasted. Bear in mind that you should use <code>sudo</code> command when you wish to install the compiled library.
 +
<br>
 +
 +
A much safer option is to use the <code>LD_PRELOAD</code> 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.
 +
<pre>
 +
LD_PRELOAD=<path-to-libidn.so.11> %command%
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
Alternatively you can create a symlink of libidn.so.12 as libidn.so.11 using <pre> ln -s /usr/lib/libidn.so.12 /usr/lib/libidn.so.11</pre> as superuser/root if the package is not present.

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 your Linux distribution has it in their repository, normally the package will include the version number to show that it is not the most recent version (Such as libidn11 in ArchLinux's/ArchLinux based distro's Community repository). 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.

Notes

  1. ↑ Primary support page for Denuvo Anti-Tamper offline activation. Secondary support page which can be used in case of troubles with the primary one.[2]
  2. ↑ When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  3. ↑ 3.0 3.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/234140/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (234140) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.

    Confirmed myself by removing the offline token file and blocking access to revalidate.wbgames.com. This triggered the typical Denuvo offline activation prompt. Different from other protected Steam titles is that the offline token is stored in the \Steam\userdata\<user-id>\234140\dbdata file.
