What's new in 1.9.8
Co-op fixes
Player 2's own buttons: Options > Co-op Options > P2 Controls.
Aiming: while a player holds LT, a dot over the enemy his lock is on (player 1 blue, player 2 amber). Arrows and thrown axes fly through allies and every hit counts.
P2 bot improvements: it follows the levels' paths, keeps with the group and takes enemies in order.
Menus: every controller works in the front-end menus;
Extra heroes as player 2 are built and drawn in every level (before, certain extra heros would be missing in Fangorn Forest, and certain things would be unbreakable. Extra hero's (Sauron) would also sometimes be missing in the Westfold and with player 1 as Legolas), and their ranged blows wouldn't land.
Explosives: player 2's shots set off the Westfold's bomb stacks and carts properly.
Fixes
Sound after a long session: music, cut scene voices and some effects no longer go silent some forty minutes in.
**Language support for co op and Versus menus
Ultra textures no longer drop off the menus' text at times.
Known issues (1.9.8)
Legolas can sometimes be unable to attack during the Weathertop level in Co-Op
Player 2's controller doesn't rumble yet.
