Redownloading the updater is the only way that problem can be fixed...

[BPK]

I've redownloaded it twice now...

Any other possibilities? Faulty upload?
Compatibility issues?

It's not Windows that's giving me the error, as far as I can tell.
I think the updater is calling itself invalid.

Try reinstalling the full install... Make sure you also get the main install to run the second part.

[BPK]

Yeah it's the second part that's not running.
But I thought that would be fixed by the updater.

[Ridder Geel]

true that should fix it but you say everytime you download the updater it would not work...

[BPK]

Yeah so I'm basically screwed?

[Ridder Geel]

Nah... I can fix this for you... Ill PM you a solution...

Hi, I followed all instructions but the game will not work. I get the initial screen and chose single player . Game hangs for nearly a minute then windows reports game is shutting down becuase it has an error.

I am running windows 7, so not sure if thats an issue but feel it might be. I had to down load patches with regrds to resoultion for the original games once to get them to work under winodws 7. Patch was to install in the application roaming data directory an ini file that reset the game resolution to 1024 again.

Thank you for any help you can provide

Does it report any error, if so what does the error say?
If not... Go to your application data, roaming and then check for a folder named:
My Battle for Middle-earth™ II - RC Mod Files
(location: C:\Users\****\AppData\Roaming)
Check if it contains Options.ini.
I have windows 7 and its working without any problems, so you should be able to fix it

Does this mod need ROTWK now?

[CTLN7]

no

[Ridder Geel]

It does not NEED, its easier to play multiplayer if you have ROTWK, though you can also just download the rc mod cd for that

[dethwaker3]

I really don't get the CD Part.....I don't get the .mds file....I changed the .mdf to .iso and mounted it using POWERISO...but I still don't get it...can anyone help me?

[Ridder Geel]

You renamed the cd files? dont do that
If you are not going to play multiplayer, just run the mod in singleplayer. you dont need the cd then

[dethwaker3]

But what do I do with 2 files? Do I just burn both? What about the disabling part? Do I disable main cd or the "fake" cd?

[Ridder Geel]

The main/real cd drive
You dont need to burn any cd, im not sure burning them on cds/dvds will work.
Just mount the smaller file (.mds) and hide the "real" cd drive.

[Ridder Geel]

Its how those files work. the MDS or whatever somehow has smaller details about the MDF or something like that, though im not too sure about all those kinds of things

[dethwaker3]

Got it to work, no one is online though xD Thanks anyway!

[Ridder Geel]

Perhaps you should ask around and see who might be willing to play the RC Mod with you, im quite sure there are some people
