Having Issues With LOTR Battle For Middle Earth 2

This is a known problem for users with high resolutions.

The game dislikes it apparently so you'll have to do some tweaking as follows:-

1.) Add an Options.ini file in the C:\Users\[your login name]\AppData\Roaming\My Battle for Middle-earth(tm) Files folder

(Right click in that folder, New, Text Document, save as..., Options.ini)


2.) Put the following content in that newly created file:

Code:

AudioLOD = High
HasSeenLogoMovies = yes
IdealStaticGameLOD = High
Resolution = 1024 768
StaticGameLOD = High
TimesInGame = 5

Hope that helps!

I cant seem to find the folder...

If you can't find the folder, you'll have to make it manually.

Create a new folder called My Battle for Middle-earth(tm) Files at the
C:\Users\[your login name]\AppData\Roaming\ location.

For example if your username is Tom, the path would be:-

C:\Users\Tom\AppData\Roaming\

and in that Roaming folder, create the folder called

My Battle for Middle-earth(tm) Files

Also make sure you have enabled the Show hidden files, folders and drives in the Folder Options box (start|Folder Options|enter|Change top tab to "View"):-

I can find the folder up to the part of Appdata, but then inside of it it has a Local folder then a Temp folder

Please post a screenshot of that window using the following tutorials please.. I'm curious. You can blur out other details if you wish.

Are you sure you have enabled hidden folders and files?

As an example here's a screenshot from my own Appdata folder:-

Ok. Here is a screenshot:

Okay, so head into the Appdata folder, what do you see?

You should have Local, LocalLow and Roaming folders on a normal Windows 7 installation with some programs in it.

for future reference guys you can access the appdata folder even with hidden files on if you just go to the search box type '%appdata%' minus the marks obviously
and hitting enter.
It will automatically open up the location.
