great! glad it works for you now how about registering? that way we can all know who we're talking to

Easiest way is to follow the installation instructions exactly, so install to C:/ instead of your AppData folder.

Word, to that!

well this is my story:
i extracted the files to c:\
my game is installed in D:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Battle for Middle-earth ™ II
my target is "D:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Battle for Middle-earth ™ II\lotrbfme2.exe" -mod "C:\SEE"
my start in is "D:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Battle for Middle-earth ™ II"

i double click the shortcut..... this window appears with collectors edition and it dissapears but nothing happens afterwards

Does the original game work?
Your path is correct...

[Jonasking]

Put the SEE folder just in D: then just change the start in path to "D:",that should do it!
Like this:(NOTE!I have it installed in C:)
Target:"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Battle for Middle-earth ™ II\lotrbfme2.exe" -mod "C:\SEE"
Start In:"C:\"

Target:"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Battle for Middle-earth ™ II\lotrbfme2.exe" -mod "C:\SEE"

Satrt In:"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Battle for Middle-earth ™ II"

My SEE folder in in the (C:) drive

Game is here "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Battle for Middle-earth ™ II"

[Garrison Nomad]

SEE folder needs to be in "My Battle for Middle-Earth 2 Files", which can be found at the address "Username/AppData/Roaming/My Battle for Middle-earth™ II Files

[SovietSoldier]

wait,for me it was here:
Target Directory:
"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Battle for Middle-earth ™ II" -noshellmap- -mod "C:\SEE"
Start in:
"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Battle for Middle-earth ™ II"

Target:"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Battle for Middle-earth ™ II\lotrbfme2.exe" -mod "C:\SEE"

Satrt In:"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Battle for Middle-earth ™ II"

My SEE folder in in the (C:) drive

Game is here "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Battle for Middle-earth ™ II"

target path is wrong.
Also its not a development>4.6 beta bug. Read the PINNED threads in the SUPPORT section of the forum and you will find your answer...

No!At least 80% of all SEE players don't get it to work with the My Mattle for middle-earth 2 files method .Now Hanno:Your SEE folder is in C:,so the Start In path will be:"C:\",don't think you need the \ thought

Yes! I fart in your general direction. That's what you're supposed to do....the only way you don't get it to work is if the path is wrong. It doesn't really matter WHERE you put it....but don't strike me down unless I actually spoke blasphemy.

It works either way, man.

[Nazgûl]

Alright, time to give y'all my story. I'm hoping somebody here can help because believe me, I WANT TO PLAY SEE! NOW! OR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! OR AT LEAST AS SOON AS SOMEONE HAS THE TIME TO HELP ME! OR AT LEAST SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES!

Anyway...

Well, it all started this morning when my mate introduced me to SEE and told me how good it was, and roped me into it. (Well, it wasn't really a roping I decided for myself that the mod rocked and that I wanted to play it.) He was a member of this site, so I created an account.

When I read that to play SEE you had to have patch 1.06 installed, I went to Start\Programs\Electronic Arts\The Battle for Middle Earth ™ II\Check for updates. When I checked for the updates, it asked me if I wanted to install the new patch, and I clicked yes, and the dumbass thing failed on me.

So, I uninstalled the game and reinstalled the game and tried the same check for updates thing again. And once more, it failed.
I then proceeded to go online and find the patch myself, after which I placed the .big file in My Battle for Middle Earth ™ II files.

Alls well, it works, patch appears to be running as it should on my game.

So, I download SEE. I extract the WHOLE folder to My Battle for Middle Earth ™ II files. I do all the change start and target box and copy to desktop and all that, and then start the game.

Hallelulia, it brings up the splash screen. Then, it crashes, telling me i've got some error that it can't correct or something like that, and then it brings up the classic game.dat error and tells me to send an error message when I don't want to. They say they're sorry for my inconvinience, but I'm of the opinion that that's a lie.

Can anybody help me out here? Please? I really want to play SEE!

By the way, if it's any help, my normal BFME II game works fine. Out of intrest, does anybody know whether I've installed the patch into the right place? Because I'm new to the whole patch your game thing lol

[av8r]

Did you patch the BFMEII game to v1.06?

Are you running a legal copy?

[I_AM_LEGEND]

Yeah, I ran the patch... though I've just reinstalled my BFME II game again a few seconds ago, just so that I can get some reccomendations from people as to where to get the best version of the patch from and on how to install it, so that I know I've done it properly this time.

As to a legal copy, I don't do illegal games, mine is a purchased from shop original.

I've just installed my game into the usual directory, by the way - C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Battle for Middle Earth ™ II, If that's any help.
Thanks
