Possible fix for "... unable to initialize the renderer..."

[Rifter]

Was having the gamestart windows crash error w/text "unable to initialize renderer", after my first attempt to tweak in game Video Options. Finally found the "render" "game" and "setting" .CFG files for the game and was able to get back in after some manual edits.

1. Go to Drive name\Documents\WB Games\Shadow of Mordor\....
2. Open Settings.CFG with notepad
2a. May want to save old settngs.cfg to new file name before making edits
3. Evaluate and enter in appropriate (for your PC) video resolutions

The game had assigned unuse-able dimensions to ScreenHeight and ScreenWidth values, causing the crash (and preventing us from being able to fix the problem from inside the games UI). Based on what I've read of others who've had a similar experience, its hitting those who use multi-monitor displays. I manually changed the values to 1920(w)x1080(h) dimensions (which still didn't hit the mark) but at least got me back in the game where I've been able to use the games UI to finalize setup.

Hope it helps.
