I recently downloaded a mod (Battle of the Pelennor Fields for those curious: https://www.moddb.co...pelennor-fields )

It uses the -mod command, like AOTR, BOTTA, and my Angmar mod do. I was able to put it on my laptop no problem, but the mod would not work on my friend's desktop. It crashes on the splash screen (like the options.ini crash). Both base games are installed exactly the same (stock+patch 2.01) and they both play normally, just the mod won't work on one computer for some reason. The only differences that I can think of is that both the game installation and the mod folder are on my friend's D: drive as opposed to the C: drive on my laptop, and that my friend is borrowing my original CDs to run the game whereas I have virtual CDs mounted. This shouldn't make a difference should it?

 

I spent 20-30 minutes double-checking everything, trying to figure out what the issue was, and I could not resolve it (we ended up playing LOTRO instead haha)

 

Any ideas? I've tried searching for this issue but all I can find are posts about the options.ini crash. That is not the issue here, even though the splash screen crashes just like it does for options.ini. Help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Fixed it, turns out the mod folder can only work when its on the C: drive. I probably read that somewhere before but I forgot about it.
