Should you experience difficulties during the installation of the T3A:O client for BFME2, please use this topic to ask for support.

 

------------------

 

Questions should be formulated CLEARLY and CONSTRUCTIVELY, and describe the issue in detail.

 

At the very least, include the following:

 

- What kind of error do you get?

- What game version are you using?

- What operating system are you using? (Windows 8, Vista, etc)

 

We will be happy to assist you.

 

------------------ FREQUENT ISSUES ------------------

 

If you are having difficulty getting the server to work and you are using the patch switcher:

 
Solution: Download the updated Patch Switcher from here.
 
If you are having an issue starting the game because you get an error saying the wrong CD is inserted:
 
Solution: Go to the BFME2 installation folder (Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Battle for Middle-earth™ II) Right click lotrbfme2.exe, Properties -> compatibility -> Change Settings for all users -> tick out the compatibility mode.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Thanks,

 

The T3A:Online Team

There is, you simply need to patch your game to version 1.06 first before you connect, and that's it.

I just logged in with my original disk (English, 1.06), and I didn't experience issues so far.

As others have stated, it is definitely possible to play using the original disc. I do too.

That's really odd, I have the disk version too, but don't have it installed. Instead, I have Forshire's Special Edition version installed with the online client and I'm using a fake DVD image of BFME2 and it works for me. I'll try and reinstall the disk version later today seeing that I want to play the campaign again as well. I'll test and see if I get the same, but if I were you I'd try the fake DVD image. I uploaded it for you over here: http://www13.zippysh...07253/file.html  

 

You'll need something like Daemon Tools to mount it, if you don't have it installed.

Are you able to run the installer from the command line and send us the logfile "log.log" afterwards?

Use this command in the directory where the installer is located (via cmd).

msiexec /i "T3AOnlineBFME2_1.4.2.msi" /L*v "log.log"

or with "T3AOnlineBFME2_1.4.1.msi" in case you have the older launcher version.


"To know what question we may reasonably propose is in itself a strong evidence of sagacity or intelligence. For if a question be in itself incongruous and begs for uncalled-for answers, it holds, sometimes, besides embarrassing the proposer, the disadvantage to seduce the unguarded listener into giving absurd answers, and we are presented with the ridiculous spectacle of one (as the ancients said) milking the he-goat, and the other holding a sieve beneath."

I guess, wrong password since you have 2, one for ingame and other for revora. You should also activate your account I think...

Tried with both passwords. Also i did activate the account twice to be sure. For the second it says the account is activated already.

Did you type your username into the "EA Account Name" field exactly as it is here?

Yes, I typed

Maybe I should register again with ingame "Register" button ? I didnt make it yet, maybe admin could firstly check whats up with the account.

Hi. I've had a Revora account before the release of the BFME 2 Online Servers. If I attempted to login with my current account and password in the game online network, it tells me I do not have a password for the specified account. However, when I go register for online play, it says my account is already in use, and therefore I cannot complete the online registration.

 

Do I have to create a second account? 

 

Thanks.

Hi,

I got issues starting the game. After i press the launch button it tells me to put in the correct disk.

I tried it with several images and the original cd.

I installed forshires version since the installation with the original cd crashes at 99%.

 

Any ideas?
