What's a disappearing roaming folder?

Have you typed %appdata% in the windows search bar?

Hi,

i followed your instruction for bfme 2 rotwk and after i created options.ini the game launches. But when i start a skirmish match, after 100%, the circle screen appears and the game crashes.

I can't access the my heroes section, too. I tried every Resolution and graphic setting, but that didn't change anything.

Does anybody know what i can do?

Alternately, instead of using the (bugged) Daemon Tools, you can use Alcohol 52% or 120%, which I'd strongly recommend.

 

 

Or you can just double click on the iso file, which works for me, and you can open up the ISO file and the files inside it, without downloading any mounting programs.

 

I'm using Windows 10 64-bit so i have this lil' feature.

Sure, if you know what you're doing you can install it any way you like.

Alright so, BFME2 and ROTWK installed completely via these instructions. 

 

Run game: bfme2 has stopped working.

 

So the problem is not in Rotwk, but in bfme2. Looked for the solution concerning the options.ini file, but I already had an options file in my bfme2 folder (not empty as suggested in the topic). 

 

Seems like a rather stupid problem but yeah, does anyone know how to solve?

 

Many thanks!

The AMD 17.12.1 and 17.12.2 driver don't work with bfme 2. The rollback to 17.11.4 worked

#BFME 1

 

Dear comunity!
I spend the last 4 hours trying to get this damn game working - i really used to love it :D

 

I got a MacBook Pro with "BOOTCAMP", Windows 10 installed.
No real clue about how all thismounting/image stuff works, but i got to install a newer (!) version of Daemon Tools and i am the proud owner of my new "Drive Z" which is called LOTRBFME. :D

The game isnt asking for a DVD anymore, so i think this part works fine.

 

I installed the patch and now if i start the game from the LOTRBFME.exe in my program folder there is the starting screen which is not doing anything at all after some time:

Opening the task manager it shows "game.dat (32bit) (2)" with some calculations at first - then there is the Windows-PopUp-Jingle and it just drops down to 0%.
As the loading screen is fix at front i cant see if there is any popup coming up with the jingle behind the screen :(

I already tried to change the option.ini - not sure if it worked though.

Opening the Explorer the "User/defaultuser0/AppData/Roaming is not really shown - hidden?

(see image)

Added to that there might be a problem with language as i am german and all the files are in german? :/

 

Help would be highly appreciated as I spend years playing this game with my brother who is coming over for New Years eve - would be the best surprise ever if we could multiplayer like in the old days.

Best,
Max

When you installed all patches up to 1.06 you don't need to mount the cd at all anymore. Are you sure the options.ini is set up correctly? Also do you run the T3A launcher as administrator?

Don't you follow the instructions step by step in the first post of this topic? The launcher should be installed with the all in one patch installer, so you can play online.

I deinstalled everything to try it after a restart from the very beginning - now this is shown.
I am literally going to kill myself :D

 

How can i check if the options.ini is correct?

Just do what it says... it seems you are trying to install the patches in the wrong directory! Did you change the default one?

Hello,

 

i have installed my original games BFME2 and ROTWK ive buyed in 2006. I cloned the CD with alcohol so i dont need the CDs cause they begin  getting crakcs at the middle.

 

I have Patch 2.01 installed (ROTWK) and on Gameranger there is no Problem with playing.

 

Now i have registered and installed the T3A Launcher but it seems the Game is not "modified" cause when i go to "online" its says login via EA Account not Revora Account and T3A password.

 

What did i wrong ?

 

Can you help me plz ?

 

Best regards 

 

Martin

 

 

Update:

 

i fixed it out :-) i just tried to login with my Revora Account and booom im logged in :-)  Very nice Thank you for that online Platform (really nostalgic --> memories :-))
