Return of Shadow Public Beta Frequently Asked Questions.

 

 

Q.Will the Campaign be supported?

 

A.Not officially supported yet.

I have started work on adapting the campaign to Return of Shadow and removing potential issues but this is going to a gradual process because the big workload required.

It may be ready by Beta 0.2 (fingers crossed).

Currently (as of Beta 0.15) the Good Campaign should be playable and the Evil one is sort of playable.

 

Q.My game is crashing with an error message saying something about ExitDelay?

 

A.This happens when you try to run the mod without patching the game to 1.03.

Run Check for Update from the BFME start Menu.

 

Q.Will this mod support the unofficial patches?

 

A.This mod bypasses 1.04 and 1.05 so it should run with these installed but they won't change the mod.

A possible issue is if one player has the patches installed but the other doesn't in multiplayer it may cause a Mismatch.

 

 

Q.Will this mod feature the 1.03 Balance changes?

 

A.No, it is independently balanced, although some of the changes were added.

 

Q.When does the next version come out?

A.As a rule of thumb I try and release a new version about once a month with occasional hotfixes shortly after the bigger releases, hotfixes are usually released within a day of a major release.

 

 

Q.Does this Beta require Lone Wolf Beta 0.37?

A.No it's a completely separate mod and not compatible.

 

Q.Why aren't the other factions in this beta?

A.I only release a few factions at a time so that I can focus on working on a couple at a time.

As time goes on more factions will be added.

Currently only Mordor, Isengard, Rohan, Gondor,Lorien and Dunland are in this beta with Rivendell soon to follow.

 

Q.Where is the Morgul faction? / Are you releasing the Morgul faction?

A.I will not be making a Morgul faction this time around, Morgul's elements have been worked into Mordor since Morgul doesn't have enough content to warrant making a full faction.

The same goes for the Eriador faction.

 

Q.When will you be releasing the other factions?

A.They'll be released gradually as they get closer to completion for now only 6 factions are at that point?

 

 

 

When will X faction be released?

Factions are released slowly over time as they near completion, so basically I don't know until they are ready.

 

Q.Will this beta be supported by Desura?

A.Beta 0.1 wasn't but Beta 0.15 should be, I'll let you know later.

 

 

Q.Why won't the launcher work?

A.This could be a variety of problems.

  1. Make sure the game is installed in the default directory (required for the launcher)
  2. Make sure you've installed the mod's files into "My Battle for Middle-Earth files"
  3. Try running the launcher as admin if you have UAC enabled.
  4. Make sure you have control rights over the game folder and My Battle for Middle-Earth files.
  5. Consult the Launcher topic for more information.

Check the Return of Shadow Manual for more information.

Fredius knows me well enough to answer for me.

I'm hoping to have Erebor done before the end of the year and work is under way but the Beta 0.2 factions are more of a priority at the moment.
