Reinstall the game, it's an anti-piracy measure included by EA, nothing to do with the mod. A reinstall will fix it 9/10 times.

I've downloaded the RJ ROTWK mod and went through the installation instructions and everything works amazing... until I go and play any map. I've tried playing multiple maps in WOTR, single player and campaign and everything starts out fine until the in-game timer reaches 3 minutes exact. At this point all my buildings just implode and I get the "Defeated" screen. The enemy is nowhere near my structures and they haven't used any special powers unless that is on of them lol.
I haven't changed any of the files and am using the latest update. Can anyone give me any input on how to resolve this issue as it limits me to 3 minutes of gametime.

try uninstalling the mod/game. that may help, but ive never heard of an error like this.
only thing similar is the game crashing a few seconds into a match but that is crashing, not defeating...

That problem already existed in the vanilla version of TBFMEII, so I doubt it has got anything to do with the mod. It appears to be a random bug, because I only got it after my third install. Just reinstall the entire game =).

It is indeed an Anti-Piracy mechanic but it definitely can occur on normal, legal installs. I know from both sides of experience.

Wasn't saying he had an illegal install, just that it's anti piracy

Just get better at the game so you win before you die. If you take longer than 3 minutes to beat someone, you're probably glued anyway.

Well by resolved, we mean that the issue was identified as being the EA anti-piracy bug, and the advice of reinstalling the game was given as a potential solution.
