So, first I would recommend only using the full version as given in the first post of this topic, since the other custom editions remove the campaign and more things. 

 

For your given problem:  Make sure the options.ini is in place (there are several topics about it) and you run the game as admin.

 

If this doesn't help: Follow the instructions exactly, and install all patches as listed.

You can try wincdemu as well. You can google for the scsi options if it doesn't work right away. Make sure to mount the mini cd image, not the installation image when you try to launch bfme2. For rotwk 2.02 with the new game.dat you won't need a CD anymore.

 

 

Also, with T3A:Online you can play online on our servers with your friends, see https://t3aonline.net/setup/

Thanks for the very fast answer.
For the Installation of BFME 2 i only used the given links in this Topic.

I will search for a topic regarding the options.ini, hopefullyi find one.
and then install patch 1.06.

Back in a second

I ws totally wrong, everything worked out great. It was actually the options. ini which was missing. I just had to type %appdata% in the explorer and create this option.ini. Maybe include this in the guide as an optional step. I tried it for quiet a while but never saw anything about this option.ini, probably my mistake.

But thanks to you i could play the game once again after so many years. I tried my first skirmish and lost horrible. It was mazing ^^

Thanks ICT, it was the options.ini for me as well!  Bfme1 is working now.

 

I'm also trying to get bfme2 to work, however, and I'm stuck on the minimage part.  Specifically when I try to download the old version of daemon tools from the provided link, I get a message that it won't run on this version of Windows (which is Windows 10 home).  I was doing all the other iso mounting with the newer version of daemon tools I installed, but I guess it's missing something required to get the mini image working?  Any advice?

[ICT]

Yes, try wincdemu or alcohol52

[Devon]

Sorry for my apparent lack of reading ability.  Wincdemu worked for bfme2!

 

Naturally, I'm now having trouble with rotwk.  When I install the game, the 2.01 patch, and mount the mini-image, I get the same hanging issue from before that was due to the missing options.ini.  But then after running the fixer, I instead of it working I get a crash on startup.  I've pasted the specific message below.  This was also true with 2.02 with and without the new game.dat (I've tried pretty much every permutation).  But I figured there was a deeper issue if the raw 2.01 and original game.dat don't work.  I also redownloaded the game once and reinstalled a couple of times, so I doubt that's the issue.

 

Thanks for the help ICT.

You don't happen to have BFME2 on 1.09? It has to be on 1.06 for RotWK.

BFME2 1.09 WORKING ON WIN 10 ONLINE AND LAN

 

OK I will explain what happened to a friend and me. We manage somehow to fix the problems above with the mini image. We did this (may sound crazy because we were crazy to solve this trying LOTS of things)

 

0. Get the patch Switcher

1. bfme2 1.09 with options.ini on both program files and users 

2. in options .ini file from the user file, you should DELETE the line in where Gamespyloginip (smth like that) appears

3. Mount mini image on Alcohol 120% (like, normal, no special care)

4. Copy and replace the asset file from the 1.00 version  from patch switcher TO program files

 

Execute as admin, compatibility on XP.... all the other things that were here before are ofc done.

 

I know it may sound crazy, but IT WORKED FOR US for the mini image problem. Hope it helps.

Hi, I'm struggling to find a video that will show me how to use T3A: Online, so that I can play online with the rest.

 

I have an original CD, which works perfectly fine. I used it to install the game then used the "Check for Update" and it updated the game to v1.06.

 

Afterwards I downloaded and installed patch v1.09. From there I ran the patch switcher and switched the version over to v1.09. I then downloaded and installed T3A: Online.

 

If I start the game up using the normal .exe file that is setup on my desktop (like any other game once they've been installed) then I can't log in through main menu<multiplayer<online<login as I've seen through many guides before. :/

 

When I launch T3A: Online and select BFME 2 I get an error message stating "Unable to Launch BFME 2".

 

I have Windows 10 OS & have run the game countless times, while playing the campaigns and skirmishes, with no problem.

 

Please help me, I'm super eager to play this (g)old gem again, online. If you need more info about my situation I will gladly share.

 

Thanks.

 

[fairyballs]

sorted out. thanks ^^

Hi,

Currently in work on mobile, but I have bfme2 installed and have followed this guide when installed it with patchswapper etc.

But can't get online, as it gives me a random version number even though I am on 1.09.

Anyone know anything about this or how to fix?

Thanks

James

Hello guys,

Did somebody find anything regarding the error message that Devon got ?

I am in the exact same situation that he depicted earlier.

Thanks

Wow I spent my fucking entire afternoon trying to install bfme2 or witch king

nothing works niceeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Ellcrys]

Hey guys, got a question (big surprise). Using the links provided, I downloaded RotWK and all the patches (didn't install the 2.01/2.02 patches though). Had BFME2 swapped to 1.06, mounted the mini-img for RotWK; everything is bueno, up to this point. When I try to run it using the T3A launcher, the splash screen comes up, but then the T3A launcher has a pop-up message: "CA public key patching routine failed." The RotWK splash screen stays up for an indefinite amount of time, forcing me to task manager the living daylights out of it.

 

BFME2 works absolutely flawless for me and my friends, and we are really looking forward to playing the expansion!

[ICT]

Install the other patches, that should help.

Hi guys,

 

I'm having a problem trying to run BFME II: ROTWK

I have installed BFME II, switched my patch to 1.06, installed ROTWK, installed all the patches and the new game.dat file. Furthermore i've also added the options.ini for both games. BFME II runs fine, however when trying to run ROTWK the following occurs:

Any suggestions would be welcome.

 

EDIT: FIXED: Found unofficial launcer in C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king.
