This is not about the options.ini issue ThiccolasCage. Don't install the game into the virtual disk drive. Install the game to your computer, wherever you normally install programs, the default settings should be fine.

It doesn't give me the option to install it anywhere else. It just puts it there every time. Any idea how to change that?

I got this solution to work for BFME, but BFME2 has no  folder in the "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming" unlike 1 did. Any solution?

is there any hope to someone with a Intel 515 graphics card? I have put in the options file and updated my drivers... but still crashing after splash screen. sad.. maybe time for a better laptop. 
on a side note would BFME run on vega 8 grahpics cards?

As far as I know, there's only a discreet set of cards that are incompatible. Perhaps you've installed the game wrong? Maybe try it on a different computer?

I tried following this tutorial and the installation guides multiple times and it will never get past this error where it claims the following:

  • Unknown field 'ShadowLOD' in block 'StaticGameLOD'
  • Error parsing field 'ShadowLOD' in block 'StaticGameLOD' in file 'data\ini\gamelod.ini', line 20.

I have Windows 10, and a valid PC-DVD copy of these games that I installed onto Windows 10 which I have on my MacBook Pro because I have Parallels. Plus, I did absolutely nothing to any of the files in the 'Program Files' directory. What on Earth is happening? And can someone help, please? If not, I will not be able to play these games, much less mod them, anymore.

The only thing I can think of is if you've put them in the wrong folder. Or if Parallels or Windows 10 on a Mac isn't setting up the AppData folder correctly?

Microsoft has done updates to kill old games.  This latest one did something funky to make it not read ISO's of that generation.  This game is meant for 32 bit machines.  EA Games won't get off their butts and release it for modern machines and instead only cares about pay to win mobile crap and sports games.  Whatever makes quick cash.   It's like Hearst on games we live in.

 

One particular game REALLY funky that was the first to be killed off was any game made by Dreamcatcher especially New Adventuers of the Time Machine it won't run on anything new and now even old. You could run it in a VM machine at one point but not now.

Every time the game comes up, which appears as the BFMEII 1.09 launcher, despite me adding option.ini and all that, it just loads for a while and eventually closes. This happens every time I bring up the game, from each launcher. Anyone know what to do? I already downloaded the game twice, did it all in order with the patches and such. Still, the game won't open.

I'm having the same issue, No matter what I do or try it will load for all of two minutes and then crashes. No error message, just closes it. I've tried launching it from multiple launchers as well. Any answer would be greatly appreciated.

Having the same issue.  I followed it word for word, get an error ObjectFilter::resolveNames() specified +MordorOutpostKeep.  etc etc etc.

 

I downloaded the .iso, mounted it, installed it with a cd-key. Downloaded the 1.06 patch, extracted, downloaded, and installed.  Game immediately crashed upon execution.

  I tried all these things and the only way I could get it to work was with the startup fixer mentioned in the installation guide.  https://www.moddb.co...-startup-fixxer

Hi all, need as much help as possible.

 

I have the actual discs and have installed BFME 2 Collectors edition. 

 

It does launch but for only only 15 seconds even after uninstalling and reinstalling. There is no error message with this.

After filling in the details that is mentioned above, the game still does not launch correctly but does manage to get all the way to full screen before crashing again. There is still no error message.

 

I am running on Windows 10 with the standard graphics card. I have downloaded a patch switcher because I thought that was the problem but still it does the same thing. On the most recent patch it does some the same thing of launching for a few seconds before closing without error. On some of the older patches it says "fatal error, exception in exception handler"

 

I have also put the game through the compatability mode and ran it as administrator. When it goes into compatability mode it says there is no disc. This is obviously not the case as I actually do have one and the correct one is in the disc drive. 

 

Please please please can someone advise.
