Hope this is the right place to post... =p

My new laptop (HP Pavilion dv6) with Windows 7, 64 bit, won't run any of the BFME games. :) Anyone know a verified fix?

- install latest patches
- try compatibility modes
My BFME 1 is running fine on Win 7 x64, apart from the fact that I had to force the display resolution in Options.ini.

Have you tried this already?

1) Create a new folder in the following location:
C:\Users\(your username)\AppData\Roaming\My Battle for Middle-earth 2 Files\Maps
2) Create the following file:
C:\Users\(your username)\AppData\Roaming\My Battle for Middle-earth 2 Files\Options.ini
3) Paste the following into the Options.ini file you just created:

AudioLOD = Low
HasSeenLogoMovies = yes
IdealStaticGameLOD = VeryLow
Resolution = 800 600
StaticGameLOD = VeryLow
TimesInGame = 1

If this fails, delete it and replace it by this:

AllHealthBars = no
AmbientVolume = 81.000000
AnimationLOD = UltraHigh
AudioLOD = Low
Brightness = 50
DecalLOD = Off
EffectsLOD = UltraHigh
FlashTutorial = 0
GameSpyIPAddress = 192.168.0.2
HasSeenLogoMovies = yes
IdealStaticGameLOD = Low
ModelLOD = UltraHigh
MovieVolume = 70.000000
MusicVolume = 78.000000
Resolution = 1440 900
SFXVolume = 80.000000
ScrollFactor = 30
SendDelay = no
ShaderLOD = UltraHigh
ShadowLOD = UltraHigh
StaticGameLOD = Custom
TerrainLOD = High
TextureQualityLOD = High
TimesInGame = 61
UseEAX3 = no
VoiceVolume = 69.000000
WaterLOD = UltraHigh


I never had to do this myself, since I use XP, so it's just a way I've heard of from other people using Vista/7.

Did you try simply re-installing? I got bfme1 to work without trying anything on my system.

That's true, a reinstall fixed my issues with BFME2 back on vista.

What Imdrar posted is the solution. I've done this four times now, BFME1, BFME2, ROTWK, and RC mod.

I don't know why, but adding the options.ini manually fixes the issue.

Same here. The issue I was having with Windows 7 was that the game wasn't creating the My Battle for Middle Earth Files folder so there was no options.ini file.

Doesn't happen to everyone, as some play perfectly fine while others have to reinstall and add in stuff :sleep: I guess the problem varies from system to system.

Have you tried running in compatibility mode? :sleep:

Yes, as Win XP sp3 - that removes the crash, but it says "please insert the correct CD" or soemthing like that (They're all originals)...


Did you try simply re-installing? I got bfme1 to work without trying anything on my system.

It's a 1 day old brand new laptop with genuine Win 7 64b, and the games are freshly installed and patched...


That fix seems rather hefty... Oh well, I guess I have to fiddle with that. Thanks for posting guys. I wonder why only some ppl have this problem though =/

Just because the laptop is new doesn't mean it couldn't have screwed up the installing the game naz. Mine did that to me on Fallout 3, I just re-installed and it worked fine.

Well yeah I know =p Thanks... but a new pc has less errors than an old one, I guess we can agree on that (virus, conflicts etc). But after some investigation, it seems that MANY have the same problem with several games on Win7 64... the "PLease insert the correct CD-ROM" after enabling the Win XP compatibility mode
