Hmm...I'm not too sure what to make of this then..return the card? To clarify, I haven't overclocked the card past the factory OC. I will experiment with taking 105Mhz off the clock (most I can downclock) this evening and report whether the issue persists.

You could try a stress test on your GPU. I'd assume it should also crash then if it is really clocked too far. I think it is weird overclocked cards seem to have much more trouble with this game.
With this card I've run heaven benchmark 5 times in a row without crashing or artifacts, might try it out again tonight and leave it for longer.

FUUUUUUU... I want to continue playing this game but I am waiting for an optimized SLI profile and the motion blur patch now. :/
Yes, if your card crashes at stock clocks (Factory OC'd or not) it's an instant RMA. Make sure your crash is GPU caused though.

Stress test, not a benchmark.
EDIT: Oh, it says it also functions as a stress test. You could try a different one I guess.
The thing is, I'm not sure if it's the graphics card since the crash doesn't seem to be driver related (no nvidia driver has crashed and recovered message in tray) but instead it just either freezes the screen or just boots me to the desktop and says Shadow of Mordor has stopped working

Works alright for me (gtx670 sli). Pretty even distribution throughout. I do get random, unexplainable drops on occasion, tho. Not sure if it's related.
Absolutely not.
Developers should do a lot of things. But making sure their software runs stably on hardware that isn't stable isn't one of them. (It's also impossible)

Could you be running out of memory? I've seen the game grow to use up to 4-5 gigabytes of system RAM with textures on high as VRAM spills over into main memory. You might especially want to check for it if you've disabled the page file or have it set at small fixed size. Likewise if you have a large browser session running concurrently.

I have added a mild overclock to my 670 (+100 GPU clock and +100 mem clock) and I haven't had any problems so far with the game. I will up it a bit more and see what happens but performance is really stable for me at 60fps with high on every setting.
I'm probably going to finish the game tonight. Sucks that I missed out on one of my favorite graphic effects
Object motion blur is awesome.I'm interested in this as well; using the AO bits makes the game a stuttering mess.

The AR2 method works fine. Who told you to use Batman bits? Fear3 is the way to go.
Whoops, it wasn't the Origin bits, it was the F.E.A.R. 3 bits. It stutters horribly for me :/
I have a OC'd 770 and had problems with DX11 games crashing with nVidia related driver dll's showing up as the offending party in the Windows Event Logs. Using MSI Afterburner I increased my GPU voltage a few ticks and I ceased having problems. I haven't played Mordor yet and don't know if that's a silver bullet solution but it's worth trying if you haven't already.

GeForce experience updated and this shows up now, driver or patch can't be far behind right

Anyone else getting some random stutters when moving the camera around etc.? Running with everything set to high/turned on on the following specs:
i5 - 4670K
Gtx 760
8 gb ram
Game is installed on a SSD if that matters.

Is anyone having/had the problem where you start the game and it just goes to black screen, but you can still hear the sound? I've tried every fix on google and I can't get it to work
anyone?
I have been thinking about the various subjects that a Arkham/Assassins Creed/Shadows of Mordor game could do. Two characters came to mind: John Carter and Elric of Melinibone.
John Carter, the hero of most of Edgar Rice Burroughs 11 Barsoom novels is a perfect match for the Shadow of Mordor gameplay model. The weapons are mainly melee, swords and daggers, with a smattering of steampunk projectile/ray guns. Carter has all the physical enhancements that, say, a Saints Row IV superhero has such as (low powered) superspeed, jumps high, superstrength all thanks to his earthly muscles in a martian gravity field. Carter could progress through a phase of powerful, yet uncontrolled talents to more controlled athletic and martial skills through (a Skyrim-like) progression system or by picking talents from a skill tree as XP accrues. The Nemesis system could be used as Carter battles the Tharks (the six-limbed Green Men) and/or various factions among the Red Men.
Elric is Michael Moorcock's creation and is the last of a line of sorcerer rulers. Sword play, wizardry, and herbalism figure into the stories, but the highlight of the stories, for me, is Stormbringer. Elric, a physical weakling needing drugs or wizardry to fight, wields Stormbringer, a demon in sword form. Stormbringer drinks the souls of those it kills giving some of that soul-strength to Elric. There are many ways in which the skill tree(s), or XP progression could work. There are many factions in the Elric novels and, as he is a bit of a wanderer, there are plenty of possibilities for the Nemesis system here.
This gameplay model has plenty of possibilities. I think even a Hulk game could work.

This game is near impossible to run at 4k maxed on current hardware(which is surprising considering it doesn't look THAT great)
I74770k and SLI 980's(with the sli hack) and I can't get it to run at anything more than 20fps during combat :
1440p game runs ace, anything higher and will have to wait till gtx 1080's

anyone?
I've not had that problem, but maybe try deleting the cfg files in C:\Users\[username]\Documents\WB Games\Shadow of Mordor, the skip intro trick, or even just alt+tab to see if it'll run in a window?

SLI/Crossfire won't work properly until both companies release profiles. Its unfortunate but thats what it is.

Fair enough, with the amount of responses I saw about the issue and not knowing whether there were OCed cards that didn't have the issue I assumed it was a game-specific problem.
The performance really took a dive on the second area, on the first map i got between 70-100 fps, but on the second area the fps dips below 60 fps.
Everything is maxed except for the textures at 1080p

| 16GB DDR3 2400 MHz | Asus DC2 GTX 780 Ti | Samsung 840 Pro 256GB | Enthoo Primo |

The VSync in bust. Try either playing in border less window mode or atl tabbing back to the desktop briefly to fix it.
Edit: ignore that I just woke up lol, I thought you said locked at 30fps. I don't know what your issue is.
What 10101 said; borderless window should fix it. I've had the same happen with Metal Gear Rising, where fullscreen + vsync + HDMI to A/V receiver would result in a 50fps cap. Forcing borderless window through a third party tool fixed it. Shadow of Mordor has the aforesaid feature built-in for your convenience. It should be a fairly easy fix.
You can turn this on but no camera it has to be or the other not both.I'm probably going to finish the game tonight. Sucks that I missed out on one of my favorite graphic effects
Yep, borderless window did indeed fix it. For some reason the cut scenes are still playing at 50fps, but the game itself is now locked at 60fps.
Sorry for the late reply and thanks for the suggestion, I will check it out. Bit of a novice question but how would I monitor my "page file"? On a semi-related note, I just yesterday flashed my GPU BIOS (here) to a new version released last month. From my testing with games that previously used to crash (Battlefield 4, PvZ: Garden Warfare) , those games don't appear to be crashing anymore! Will need to test Shadow of Mordor later today!
Hey guys, I'm able to run the game at 1680x1050, everything on ultra, no HD-texture pack.
I get around 50-60 fps relatively stable.
However, the game stutters A LOT. Sometimes the game even freezes and stays at 5-9 fps for like 10 seconds. After that it resumes to 60fps until the next freeze/stutter a couple minutes after.
It gets worse the longer I play. It is really not very enjoyable.
Also, when there is lightning, the textures seem very weird, like glitchy, everything flashes up in various colors.
My System:
cpu: I5-4670K (non-OC)
gpu: Nvidia GTX 770 4gb
ram: 8gb corsair
The card is fast enough and has enough vram to not run into swapping slowdowns. vram isn't even maxed for most of the time, but stays at around 2gb.
I run the game in borderless fullscreen (for tripple buffering) and i tried switching v-sync on/off to see if that does anything. But no luck.
Anyone has any suggestions?
On a side note: I find it very curious that the game is so power hungry. It does not look that great. Also a bummer that there is no AA, and downsampling effectively halves my framerate, even at 150%.

Have there been any further announcements about official sli support? (other than the dev posting on Steam forums who thought that they would be done sometime last week) I am holding my thumbs that something will be released today (still lots of office hours left in the US), but I don't know how likely that is at this point. Maybe they discovered additional bugs last minute with the sli solution they had worked on?
How? I only get the option for off, camera, camera+object.

Thanks. I see no mention of a fix for the motion blur, or lack thereof when both camera & object are selected, and it makes me wonder whether they're at all aware of it.
Someone mentioned that you could have one or the other turned on only. Like I said, I only see the option to have camera on by itself, object motion blur gets tied with camera for sone reason.
Same here. It's either both to no effect, camera only, or off.
I couldn't even tell the difference when I switched to ultra on my 970.

So I'm getting horrible perfomance randomly, with the following system:
I7 5820K@4.3GHZ
16GB DDR4@2133MHZ
G1 970 SLI
840 EVO SSD
Windows 8.1 Pro
Driver: 334.16
I set Nvidia setting in Shadow of Mordor to Force Alternate frame rendering to 2.
I get SLI then and benchmark with FPS uncapped hits the engine limit of 100FPS average, Max is some ludricous number and Min always low because of some initial start.
So I start the actual game, the beginning tutorial everything at ultra settings besides ultra textures with 1080P resolution,getting constant 90-100FPS,then the rainy part where the Uruks show up and my fps hits below 55FPS.
Then on the open world map, I get constant 90-100FPS and randomly it will drop to 45-50FPS and fluctuates and then after a while randomly goes back to normal.
I think its the SLI as my GPU 2 is not utilized to its full potential, I did set "Prefer maximumm perfomance" in the Nvidia control panell.
Is forcing alternate frame rendering to 2 the best SLI implemntation until it is officialy updated? or is there a better method?
Thanks.
Note: Other games run perfectly like BF4, all possible settings maxed on 1080P I'm hitting 150+FPS, heck even downsawmpling from 2650 x 1440 and I get constant 80+FPS, yet this game is weird.(I'm hoping its the SLI)

Oh fuck, my save is gone. Anywhere I can locate it? Nothing in Documents except cfg files it looks like. Might be an issue with cloud sync?
Only thing I've done is delete the intro videos. How easy is it to start a new game and delete the current? I guess it's possible I did that absent mindedly?
edit: found some save files online, this should do. For anyone else looking for a save to pick up from: save files in 5-10% increments from 14 to 89.

Single 970 here, i5 2500k at 4.1ghz.
Performance is pretty bad. I can't downsample at 150% because I get constant drops to 30FPS then because of the build in vsync solution (which adds ton of lag). On the other hand, running 1080p on ultra, I STILL get framerate drops in bigger fights etc...is there something like optimized settings for stable 60FPS already?
Oh, Aliasing is pretty bad...
Especially in wraith mode my frames drop like crazy.
