Patch 1.6.7 Release Notes

Performance and Stability Changes in this release

• To improve performance on Dedicated Servers we increased worker CPU threads from 1 to 4 by default. This should decrease loading times, to about 75% of time before, and in a smaller way speed up other tasks that game can do in parallel like pathfinding. 

  • If you are running DS locally, you will likely want to use the full 4 worker threads when needed. You can adjust this number by providing a command line argument to MoriaServer.exe, "-NumServerWorkerThreads=4". Range is from 1 to 4, although actual number could be lower than 4 if your CPU has less threads available. 

  • Note: Third party hosting services will provide their own value, or leave default, so please contact your provider to learn more about their solution.

• Fixed a bug that was spawning multiples of the placeholder “citizen Dwarf” and reducing performance throughout the game

• Improved an issue with the voxel engine that led to low framerate, lag spikes and high loading times for clients joining old or “mined-out” world areas. 

• Fixed an issue that caused a lag spike when equipping an item

• Fixed a bug where loading into a new area could have resulted in very long waiting times. This was most commonly seen when playing on Dedicated Server and teleporting into a distant new location with a mapstone.

• Firing arrows no longer triggers the navmesh to rebuild, improving lag spikes and FPS.

• Several improvements that should reduce the instances of long loading walls and long loading times

• A package of improvements to performance for very large “megabases”

• Removed several log spams that could happen due to data corruption or in special cases, which could decrease performance.

• Fixed various crashes.

User Experience and Tuning Changes in this release

• Fixed an issue that was erroneously showing the “Buy Durin’s Folk” message every time the player launched the game or visited the main menu. It should now only appear a few times then never again.

• The notification that an Earthquake occurred no longer appears after returning from every expedition.

• Fixed several scenarios where players could get stuck in story Expeditions.

• Fixed instances where Vror would not appear in story Expeditions.

• Fixed several scenarios where players would fall through the world after returning from an expedition

• Fixed an issue where some clients would see the names of all locations repeatedly, when entering a new area.

• Package of tuning updates to the cost and payoff for traders has been delivered, to reduce the overall grind of trade goods and the trading economy

• Trade Order recipes now stay unlocked once discovered

• The new tribe of Orc that appears during the expansion will no longer appear during sieges and hordes after the completion of the story. They are still available in the highest difficulty of Expeditions.

• Fixed a rare issue where getting knocked back in the base game’s final boss fight would deactivate some controls.

• Fixed remaining issues where the Expansion’s boss would appear untextured.

• Lord of Moria Banner and Moria Company Shield are now available in Sandbox

NPC-related Changes in this release

• Work to improve several instances where NPCs were getting stuck

• Fixed an issue that was limiting what Salvager would collect to an extremely limited set of items. Salvagers should now collect most things on the ground.

• Fixed several instances of NPCs disappearing from a delving

• Improved cases of enemies being able to walk through walls and closed doors

• Fixed several issues that left the Cook and Brewmaster NPCs idle when they should be working

• Decreased the amount of materials needed for crafting NPC hats and outfits

• Improved the radius that Miners use to find ore

• Fixed an issue where NPCs will craft using materials from pallets and other locations they should not have access to

• Fixed an issue where Salvagers would duplicate materials they collected

As 2025 comes to a close, we want to take the opportunity to wish our entire player community a wonderful holiday season. Whether you’re delving into the mountains over the holiday break, or climbing the peak to a legendary tower, we hope you enjoy everything the festivities have to offer.

Winter Steam SALE means big savings in Moria! Yuletide season in Moria is upon us! The Yuletide DLC has been upgraded with new decorations and a new outfit!

This small patch is meant to address high severity issues as reported by the community. While we understand there are more issues than this patch fixes, we wanted to get something out before the holiday as fast as possible. 

Ensure you have the correct build number on the main menu. You must complete the update before playing. Steam: 1.6.5.218041 \ to 1.6.6.218163 \

Dedicated Servers: 1.6.5.218038 \ to 1.6.6.218164 \

Fixes in this release

• Fixed an issue where duplicate NPC dwarves would appear in their original spawn location in the world after being dismissed from a delving. This would cause several issues including performance problems and unusable NPC recruits 

• Improved various performance issues that caused framerates to be low in many instances caused by duplicate citizen dwarves

• Improved issues that caused loading walls between areas to persist for long periods of time

• Fixed an issue where using a mapstone to fast travel would sometimes cause long loading times

• Fixed a PS5 issue where Gulrun’s textures wouldn’t properly load, causing the beast to appear white, and devoid of color

Note: In order to improve the performance drops seen in the last release, we made a difficult decision to roll back some of the improvements to NPC pathing. This means players will again see some previously fixed issues with NPC’s choice of path or falling through floors. We believe these will still be more rare than before but the trade off was the right decision.

Dedicated Server users, please remember to always restart your server after a patch! Thank you to everyone who submitted tickets, logs and saves as well as answered the team's Qs about your experiences with the above issues. Please keep an eye on the dev-updates channel in our Discord for any further information from the Team.

Hi all and Happy Yule-tide!

• Steam:

• Dedicated Servers:

From our blog: Yule-tide Pack to Receive Content Update!

Turugnî hisgin! Greetings!

The festive season is upon us, and Dwarves across Middle-earth are pulling out decorations and getting Moria prepared for another Yule-tide!

This year the Yule-tide pack is receiving an update, with extra decorations and cosmetics themed around the story of Kabrûn the Bell-dragger (see below), everyone who already owns the Yule-tide pack will automatically unlock all of these new recipes!

Don’t own the Yule-tide pack yet? Worry not! Whether you pick it up before the update, or after, you’ll gain access to the original and new Yule-tide content along with everyone else!

Some Dwarves wait in anticipation, to see if they’ll be visited by Kabrûn the Bell-dragger this year…

In Dwarven tradition, Kabrûn is a cautionary figure from the depths — a corrupted Dwarf who broke the most sacred oaths: he was lazy at the forge, abandoned his brothers in the deep mines, and crafted shoddy work that brought shame to his hall. As punishment, he was cast into the deepest, darkest shafts of the mountain, where he became something twisted and grim.

But the curse that binds him also compels him: he must forever walk the halls during Khufur-nagim-ul, a solemn ritual performed by Dwarves every winter solstice. During this ritual, they allow the Forge to go cold, the Furnace is reduced to embers and workshops fall silent. It is through this quiet darkness that the Dwarves are reminded of the sacred purpose given to them by Aulë: to bring light to the dark places of the world through honest work and quality craft.

During this ritual, it is said that Kabrûn comes, bearing witness to the work of young Dwarves. In his torment, he has learned the value of what he scorned, and now he both punishes the lazy (as he once was) and rewards the hardworking (as he should have been).So, young Dwarf, did you work hard at the Forge this year? I hope so…

Walking among the cold forges judging the year's work, the sound of bells and dragging chains announces his approach through the darkened halls. He is covered in stone dust and wrapped in chains and bells, his beard matted with cave mud, eyes glowing like dying embers and cursed horns grown from his head.

Young Dwarves who worked diligently find gifts by their bedside: well-forged tools, quality materials, polished stones, or honest metal. The lazy find only coal dust on their pillow, broken chain links, scratches on their doors, or dulled tools. At first light, the oldest smith strikes the first spark and the forges rekindle across the mountain, with young Dwarves who received gifts helping to restore the light.

Such is the tale of Kabrûn the Bell-dragger and Khufur-nagim-ul.

New items coming to the Yule-tide pack include…

• Kabrûn Cosmetic Skin

• Kabrûn Mask Cosmetic Skin

• Kabrûn Boots Cosmetic Skin

• Kabrûn Gloves Cosmetic Skin

• Kabrûn Backpack

• Plantable Holly Tree Cuttings

• Lit Holly Tree Recipes

• Lit Holly Decorative Recipes

• Decorative Snow Recipes

• Snow-covered Present Pile Recipes

• Present Box Storage Container Recipe

Along with the original Yule-tide pack contents…

• Mulled Cider Brew Recipe

• Yule-tide Feast Meal Recipe

• Yule Fruit Crust-cake Ration Recipe

• Present Pile Building Recipe

• Yule-tide Hearth Building Recipe

• Celebration Meal Table Building Recipe

• String of Lights Building Recipe

• Chain of Lights Building Recipe

• Simple Candelabra Building Recipe

• Candelabra Building Recipe

• Elaborate Candelabra Building Recipe

Note: Skins unlock for All Dwarves. They are cosmetic only. *Other recipes become available when the player acquires appropriate resources.*‍

The Yule-tide pack is available now on Steam, Epic, PS5 and Xbox, with the free update coming alongside patch 1.6.5 on 2025/12/15

We loved seeing how everyone decorates their bases in Moria each year for Yule-tide, as well as what you use throughout the year and can’t wait to see what festive scenes you create with the new items. Don’t forget to tag us on socials and share what you create in the RtM Discord!

Keep an eye on the dev-updates section of our Discord, as well as our socials for more info and release notes for 1.6.5, coming soon!

‍

Turugnî hisgin!

To all the Lords and Ladies of Moria - building Return to Moria has truly been a labor of love for our entire team, and we would be grateful for your vote in this category!

For over 4 years, many many hardworking developers have been bringing the world of Moria in the 4th age to life. Thanks to your help, since we launched we've been able to make literally thousands of improvements to quality of life, bettering our features, providing more balanced tuning, and of course, fixing many pesky bugs.

Indeed it has been a long road! But we continue to push new releases and bring improvements to help you survive the long dark together (plus a few surprises we hope you enjoyed!) From the first moments in the collapsed tunnel of Westgate, millions of Dwarves have bravely faced foes, mined, built, survived, and uncovered the source of the Shadow.

For our teams, Return to Moria has always been a partnership with the fans and players, taking your feedback and turning that into improvements that benefit everyone, so we appreciate you for sticking with us and taking this adventure together!

Included in the Durin’s Folk Expansion

The following is a high level listing of the expansion’s major additions. Some very light spoilers may follow. Unless otherwise noted all features unlock after the concluding cinematic in both Campaign and Sandbox worlds. In Campaign worlds, many features unlock as the story progresses. Also note this is not a comprehensive list of all features or content (we wanted to leave a few surprises!)

• Dedicated servers have been updated to support the expansion

• Build Delvings to manage where the NPCs live and give them jobs that help you thrive

Known Issues

The following are known issues and the team is working on addressing these for future patches. If you encounter these please feel free to submit a support ticket to us via our Support Page with as much information about your experience as possible.

• Tinted armor is shown as default color when given to an NPC

• Items offered by the traders can remain highlighted, even when they aren’t purchasable

• Cooks can travel back and forth between multiple cooking stations when there aren’t any materials available

• Reviving a fallen NPC can cause them to display the incorrect status briefly

• Certain NPC outfits and hats are not retaining their tints

• Using a mapstone to travel to the Dimrill Dale causes stamina to deplete briefly

• NPC interact prompts are visible from far distances

• Aric’s in-world waypoint can be visible indefinitely

• NPCs don’t always face the player when singing

• In rare instances, building a hearth doesn’t remove all nearby grass or rocks

• Singing while standing on stairs can cause minor animation issues for the Dwarf

• In rare instances, the minimap outline may be visible on the loading screen 

• Durin’s Axe fragment search area Audio and Visual cues are missing in multiplayer

• The Wanderer NPC can sometimes be missing from his assigned Delving, but this does not block progression

• In rare instances NPCs can appear below the floor or be missing and marked ‘lost’ - in most cases this recovers by withdrawing the NPC from a delving and then reassigning them. It may also be solved by closing and loading the world. 

• In some cases NPCs will say they are blocked from their destination. It may be necessary to destroy and rebuild items like beds and crafting stations to better enable their routing.

Return to Moria once more and continue your quest to restore the legendary Dwarven stronghold.

Turugnî hisgin! from Free Range Games and North Beach Games, the developer and publisher behind The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria™! We’re excited to announce that the game’s first major expansion – Durin’s Folk – arrives November 18 on PC and consoles. With more than 20 hours of added content (plus infinitely repeatable cooperative events set in randomized dungeons), Durin’s Folk cements Return to Moria as an essential experience for Middle-earth™ enthusiasts and survival-crafting fans alike. Building on the base game’s story-driven survival-crafting, the Durin's Folk expansion delivers all-new end game content, including an additional story chapter rich with expanded lore, mysterious and challenging areas beyond the mountain’s caverns, thoughtful new gameplay mechanics, and more:

• The Legend Continues: Discover more about the Dwarves in the Fourth Age, the Lord

  of Moria, and more in an all-new end-game story chapter that expands The Lord of the

  Rings’ lore.

• The Recruiting Post: Rescue and recruit NPCs you meet in the mines. These recruits

  will join your settlement and assume roles like blacksmith, miner, brewmaster, and

  guard.

• Restore Moria: Construct great works called “Monuments” with help from those you

  rescue.

  randomized end-game adventures alone or with friends.

• Explore New Areas: Uncover the mystery of Durin's Tower, explore outside the

  mountain for the first time, and create epic bases in a large new buildable space.

• End-Game Economy Update: Utilize the updated end-game economy, which provides

  new materials, items, and recipes that unlock lore and content.

The Durin’s Folk expansion follows two full years of consistent support and updates for the base game, which gradually turned Return to Moria into one of the genre’s most robust offerings. Additionally, the game’s narrative – which continues in Durin’s Folk – expanded unexplored areas of The Lord of the Rings lore, adding unmissable story content for Tolkien fans the world over.

Players are invited to embark on an epic journey to reclaim the Dwarven homeland of Moria, and explore, craft, and build in procedurally generated worlds. Play as a solo adventurer or join friends in co-op gameplay for up to eight players, with full cross-play between Steam and all other supported platforms.
