Hey, I'm new to the forum, so thanks for this great mod and instructions. My big problem with the game (BfME1) is, that I'm Auto-Defeated after 3 minutes. I have read the thread with the workaround (deleating the file - launch another file - start again), but it didn't work at all. I reinstalled the game several times and tried to install it precisely with your instructions in the forum. A friend of mine worked through the same procedure and it worked after the first time installing the game. I tried his files, but again no solution. Do you have any other hints or workarounds about what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks a lot for answers

Okay after a lot of research I found the solution and fixed it by myself.
