Update 4 Patch 2 Release Notes

November 16, 2011

LOTRO News

The release notes for today’s downtime have been posted and they are very short so here they are copy and pasted in their entirety.

  • Addressed several unintended game play issues.
  • The Mounted Rear Emote was using a “Roar” sound rather than a “Neighing”. Mounts should now be far less scary.
  • Using Alt-Tab while running DX10/11 graphics mode should now behave as expected.

You can find the release notes on the LOTRO Lorebook here.

    The use of the “roar” had me wondering already what the intention behind that was. :-) Looking forward to hear what it is supposed to sound like.

    That’s the actual release notes, not a condensed version? I’m glad they could elaborate on what unintended gameplay issues were addressed…

      They were likely fixing issues that had people had been using as exploits. They tend not to advertise those, even when fixing it so they can’t be exploited in the future.

    It wasn’t the horse that roared, but your character. Just type /roar when you log in to hear how silly it sounded.

      I’d assume that you just do not have a DirectX 11 capable video card… If you know for a fact you do, you may want to make sure your cards drivers and DirectX program files are up to date.

    Use two screens so not had an issue alt-tabbing.

    I would however, quite like to see a return of the fullscreen windowed option which was removed a while back.

      I have my windowed mode options set to my max resolution… and it basically just fits the window to my whole screen (I can still see my taskbar, etc.). Does that not work for you?
