Hi guys I downloaded the SEE mod and installed it just as nazguls instructions said.However when I double click the shortcut on my desktop the game starts up but shortly after minimizes and brings up a game.dat error.

I cant think of any mistakes I made and I REALLY want to play this great mod. :)

Any solution to the problem would be greatly appreciated.

Correct. It was in Nazguls instructions I thought (I dont have rar to read it right now) but it should have been put int he 10 step guide. Maybe they can add that note; no customizations...

You could do a separate, 2nd install of BFMEII and not mod it, and use to run SEE. Just a thought. Change the path and target etc on the shortcut.

How can I install BFMEII a 2nd time?I think I would prefer that option.

I think you can choose the path to install it bfme2; just dont do a default install.
Now this I could be wrong on this tho; I havent done it myself or read where anyone else has, either.

I just wanted to say thanks, Whenever I played the evil campaign, I got to the mirkwood level and the game.dat error message popped up. I moved my custom maps so I could use them later if I wanted to and am just about st see if deleting them worked. Thanks for the help!

You need patch 1.06 or delete all the other player maps.

Have you tried reinstalling the mod? :p
If the mod is not in a .BIG file (not sure if it is) find the Gamelod.ini file and remove it and see if that fixes your problem.
Have you made the correct shortcut to run the game?

but, so far I tried reinstalling the game. because I have a problem with the game, my stolen and give it enough work to convince my friend that loaned it to me again :p
Well, I have a shortcut from the pack, which I withdrew, and the way I checked several times and still can not.I tried to rewrite mine, but still there is the bug
even then I try what you said you, and then try again, then reinstall the game :)

I've got the same problem. But game still doesn't work without the Gamelod.ini file. I've patched it to the 1.06 but I can't find the crack. Does anyone know where can I find the crack for 1.06 version?
