Game Director Jon-Paul Dumont guides us through some of what’s in store for Title Update 4 - The Winter Update - for The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria.



From Cosmetics, DLC packs and Regrowing Trees, to Quality of Life updates, Labelling Chests and Farming Cranberries - There’s lots packed into this update, coming this December.



Without further ado, here is the link to our latest Update video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vu1cSCkQs841 Oh, and one extra big surprise too, so be sure to watch to the end!

Keep an eye on our Discord and on our website for all the latest news and updates!

Happy holidays (and definitely let your friends know, we're featured as part of the Steam Autumn sale, so now's a great time to buy a copy of Return to Moria!)

Hey everyone!

We wanted to share some information that we just posted on our Discord too - some good news from Tharkun_FRG, the Game Director! More to follow soon, let us know if you have any questions!

I know its been a bit since our last update, but rest assured the team has been busy. We have a whole new Title Update dropping this winter, with two of your most asked for features along with a host of other improvements.

Many of them we have wanted to get out for a long time (trees finally regrowing maybe? hmm?). so keep an eye on dev-updates over the next two weeks - we’ll have more to share about what’s coming and when it will drop!

We’ve also got some holiday sales coming up so watch out for those - it might be a great time to buy some early gifts for your friends and family!

Turugnî hisgin!
Greetings!

This is a smaller patch to address issues that were reported in version 1.3.3. Thank you to everyone who reported issues, shared saves and provided feedback. This has helped us in resolving issues and getting this patch out to you asap.

Please ensure you have the correct build number on the main menu before playing. You must complete the update before playing. Steam: 1.3.4.166483 [net.8.4.5.6.eaaa2]

All platforms update from version 1.3.3 to 1.3.4. Here are the fixes:
[h2]Building and Stability
[/h2]

• This patch addresses cases where parts of large player construction would be destroyed after saving and loading.
  
• We have also fixed the cause of some spontaneous destruction of building pieces.
  
• We have improved and tested stability in typical building scenarios and in large saves provided by the community. However, it is worth noting that the more complex constructions do stress the limits of the system and may still have unexpected results.
  
• We will continue to tackle those issues as they occur. Please keep sending those support tickets and save files! They were instrumental in helping us with this round of fixes.
  

[h2]Gameplay Fixes
[/h2]

• We have fixed a bug where players might encounter an infinite load when attempting to fast travel.
  
• Sieges have been fixed and re-tuned and should not occur with the same frequency, nor should they be triggered as often when players fast travel.
  
• Fixed the issue affecting the Ink Grinder’s ability to dye Armor
  
• Fixed rare issue where Armor Stands built with Build-lore buff providing free construction would not allow any Armor to be placed in them.
  

[h2]Known Issues
[/h2]
The team continues to investigate solutions for known issues listed in Patch 1.3.3.

This Thursday the 3rd of Oct - Durin’s Day - through to the 6th of Oct, Return to Moria is celebrating this famed Dwarven holiday. Please enjoy the streams which will be happening all weekend, and if you like what you see, check these hard working folks out on Twitch and give them a follow!
