Lord of the Rings: War of the North Hotfix 1.000.002

Aspyr Media has pushed out the first post-release patch for Lord of the Rings: War in the North, and this is for hotfix 1.000.002. 

This small update is out on the PS5, and addresses issues with multiplayer, alongside other issues.

Note that this doesn’t fix everything wrong with the game, so for those suffering from progression issues and whatnot, those should be fixed in another update.

LOTR: War in the North Update 1.000.002 Available Now on PS5

The fixes for today include:

  • A Wi-fi connectivity issue that could occur when accessing multiplayer.
  • An error message after attempting to autosave.
  • A game crash issue associated with the autosave error.

There are still a significant amount of issues plaguing the game across all platforms such as crashing, stability issues, level progression bugs and more.

Let’s hope Aspyr squashes these bugs as soon as possible, and if we do see a patch, we’ll let our readers know.

Speaking of PlayStation, we recently uncovered a patent from Sony that aims to combat child predators, scammers and more.
