Windows 7: LOTR Battle For Middle Earth 2

I added the Options file to the My Battle for Middle-earth Files folder (which I had to run a search for as it was hidden) and the game booted up and worked! Then I closed the game and when I opened it again I got the same EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error as before. Someone suggested I change the shortcut target to "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Battle for Middle-earth (tm)\lotrbfme.exe" & " -xres 1024 -yres 768 -noshellmap" but that didn't work either.



Any ideas? I'm actually trying to run BFME 1, not 2. But the problem is the same as far as I gather.

Hi stew did excatly how you said still not working for me.

Iam on windows 7 64 bit ultimate. Have uninstalled the game and rebooted but there were no folders left as i have checked it while uninstalling and so i have installed the game patched it and then did the whole process of options.ini thing. But online and even offline the game ends in 5 mins.

Please suggest orelse i have but xp specially for this game....

dude you are a legend i thaught there was something wrong with my new pc

hello!! i have the same problem of having an error after launching bfme2 i did all the ini thing but the only different thing on me is that i dont have that c/users/my name/appdata.... filepath (i dont have it from appdata/...and after) my game only can be installed on the typical install (i have it original by the way) and goes to program files/bfme2 and from there i put a a text file options.ini and then i switch it to ini but it still fails to continue loading i have done everything i can i would really appreciate if anyone helped me out !! thanks for your time!!

Guys after a months long search at last i have my game up and running

After doing all this if your game hangs then create the options.ini folder as mentined in the previuos posts.And that will let you get into the game test it first in skirmish for 10 mins and then go online to play.. have fun gaming guys)))))

There exists a BUG that some people experience in Rise of the Witch King where you are automatically defeated 3 minutes and 30 seconds after any particular battle begins. EA Tech Support tells me it is a safety feature, such that if the computer thinks you have a cracked (pirated) version of the game, it will cause you to loose at the 3 minute 30 second mark.


Uninstall both BFME II and BFMEII: RotWK
- run "ccleaner" to clean out both your computer and registry (or any other registry cleaner)
(can be downloaded free here: CCleaner - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com )

- download and save each game's respective patch (remember the location you save them to)

-reboot in safe mode (hold F8 while the computer is rebooting)

-install BFMEII, then ROTWK

-once both games have been installed in safe mode, locate the patches for both games which you saved earlier, and run both of them (still in safe mode).

-reboot your computer normally and you should be good to go!

i am sorry but i still have the problem!! plz relook 1 post up!!i really would appreciate your help !

well dont know about the other things but if you are having the same problem as iam then do exactly i have written or else look for answers on this following forum BfME2: RotWK FAQ - GameReplays.org and you can see the problems and the answers

cheers

johnitos the appdata file is normally a hidden folder

on windows 7 go to

Organize
Folder and search opions
View
go down the list till you see Hideen files and folders
then tick
Show hidden files, folders, and drives
then click OK

after this you should be able to see the folder and go into it this is what i had to do to find it

hey satan wanna play online let me know my id is devilsden666 add me and we can get on to the game..what say you?

I can't Update Patch 2.01 on windows 7 64bit
