Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Middle-Earth TM: Shadow of War TM
  • Steam AppID of the game: 356190

System Information

I confirm:

  • [X] that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
  • [X] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.
    steam-356190.log

Symptoms: Game appears to begin starting (steam launch process). A quick message about vc redist shows but no game window ever appears. The text for the title of the game shows "Running" but no window ever appears. Then the "Running" message in steam interface disappears and it appears nothing else happened.

Reproduction: Simply try to start the game. It doesn't start.

Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor - is native Linux port and is totally awesome and works like a champ. Would be nice to see Middle-Earth: Shadow of War work as well! Thanks for your efforts!

Feral are working on the Native port of Shadow of War right now, I'm pretty sure it's being released toward the end of this month.

@lucifertdark What is your source on that? As far as I can see, there is no official news on a port for Shadow of War.

There is already a port for the first Shadow of Mordor game, so it would make some sense for Feral to also work on the sequel...

I see no mention of Shadow of War on here:
https://www.feralinteractive.com/en/linux-games/
or here:
https://www.feralinteractive.com/en/news/?platform=linux
or here:

Also @ShannonVanWagner there is already a report for Shadow of War, its in #135
We only use 1 issue per unofficially supported game. So I think it would be best if you add your findings to issue #135 in a comment.

@HonkingGoose put it down to a senior moment, I confused it with another game, apologies all round.

Hello @ShannonVanWagner, we're using one issue report per unofficially supported game title, so I've gone ahead and transferred this issue report to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/135#issuecomment-426275577.
