Hi my friends i have a problem with my game of the ROTWK, you see, in this image:

http://img390.images...ameerrorrk3.jpg

Anything about Angmar it says "MISSING", as you see in the screenshot, even in an skirmish battle when i want to create any unit, in their information it says "MISSING", how can i fix this please!!!? This only happens with the Angmar Faction.

Hm, you wouldnt happen to be running a hacked version of RotWK? would you?

I havent seen a problem like it happen to other people but the problem is the lotr.str file. This file containcs the scripts for the game (Faction, unit, buildings, etc names). Maybe you have the file on a wrong place.

Indeed that problem would be with the LOTR.STR, and the reasons that T.W.O. mentioned are the only logical ones...
-Fake/hacked
-Moved/Changed/whatever the english.big

even a hacked game would leave them in, Trust me I know
Something is actually missing, possbily from a partial update or modified or conflicting .big files or asset.dat

Wait, isn't that the APT files that are missing? after all it says " MISSING: 'APT:Expansion1Campaign' "

APT:Expansion1Campaign is defined in LOTR.STR, but i cant check to make sure because im not at home atm

I don't know what is grong, i buy my game this weekend really, i tried to reinstall in another language and that doesn't appears, in spanish for example it says "Angmar" and everything looks ok, it only happens in the english language.

If you bought a copy and not torrented, Its possible your english version might be corrupted on your disc, Its a Highly rare thing but does happen when they are burning the cd in the factory, most often its from a small flaw in the CD

I have this problem occassionally. At least, I think it might be the same problem. Whenever I add more strings to the lotr.str file some strings that were already in it come up as missing. I check the file and they're still there, but for some reason my game won't recognize them. My only guess was that there was some limit on characters allowed in the lotr.str file or something, but I can't imagine that's true since no one else has this problem.

I fix it by deleting strings that I don't need for my mod. Like single player campaign strings (for objectives and such) and the problem is always fixed. You might want to try that out. Obviously, the downside to this ghetto fix is that playing a campaign from your modded .exe file will result in missing strings everywhere.

No his problem is that he has not modded the game in any way at all and his game does not 'run' smoothly
BTW the BIG file is always in the Lang folder and in BFME 2 its on the cd in 0en-uk_compressed.zip
Maybe its a bit different for ROTWK but it should basically be the same, so try 'manually' extracting the English.BIG
