  • When I apply patch 1.00 the All-in-one patcher&installer crashes and the game doesn't start anymore. Even applying 1.06 or 1.08 doesn't work. (Until now only seen on win8)
    • Reinstall the patcher and reinstall the game. (There are probably some files corrupted)
  •  I'm getting the "wrong cd inserted" or "no cd inserted" error even tough I mounted the mini images
    •  Use Daemon Tools Lite! This is very important! The mini images are a trick, and this trick only works with the lite version of Daemon tools. Once you've installed that, make sure that you've copied the both images (.mds and .mdf) to the same folder, and that you've only mounted the .mds
  • I'm using Daemon Tools Lite and am still getting an error
  • I get an error saying "wrong CD inserted" even tough I have mounted the mini image
    • Go to the tBfME2 installation folder (right click the shortcut --> open file location, or go to [C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Battle for Middle-earth™ II]) Right click lotrbfme2.exe, Properties -> compatibility -> Change Settings for all users -> tick out the compatibility mode.
  • My game doesn't start (after fresh install)
    • use this fix (The BfME2 one obviously)
  • I have another problem
    • make sure to watch the installation tutorial first (yes it's almost an hour, but helping you guys costs us hours!). If you've tried everything said there and said here in the FAQ you can get help at www.facebook.com/thebfme, just sent a personal message!

 

The Rise of the Witch-king (RotWK):

  • I'm getting a game crash error saying "An upgrade mask references Upgrade_TREESTART..." (screenshot)
    •  Change your BfME2 version to 1.06 or get the latest patch from GameReplays, which is fully compatible with 1.08
  • My game doesn't start (after fresh install)
    • use this fix (The ROTWK one obviously)
  • I have another problem
    • Try if your BfME2 works, RotWK and BfME2 should be able to work both. Maybe one of the BfME2 FAQ's above solves your problem.
