just as an information:
i had bfme installed on  awin xp pc. now i checked the directory and it seems to contain the exact number of files of the one on my windows 8 pc. are there hidden files or specific folders i should look for?

[Echo]

Try using this. Let me know if this works

 

 Options.ini   558bytes   61 downloads

[Streex]

i did changed my file with yours, still nothing changed.
the starting screen is the step where i stop ( click on launch but nothing happens)

Could you replace the whole Bfme installation directory with the installation directory of your winxp pc?

[Streex]

i'll do so

[ICT]

You could also try again to right click the lotrbfme_.exe, go to compatibility mode and run bfme as winxp sp2 also pick the check box "run as admin". If this won't help try the other compatibility modes for vista etc.

i havent pasted the folder from the other computer yet.
just tried to launch a game ranger room to see what happens. that is the message i ve got

[Streex]

btw none of the other compatibility mode worked

Something is really wrong with your installation...

 

I have no idea what it could be.

 

I would try to make a very clean uninstall, check that the registry keys are deleted and then get some torrent with the original game, install, update and hope that it works

figured it out?

hey, sorry for delay i ve been busy with exams
just downloaded the win 8 fixer, from the download folder i run it and installed it. no icon or anything else appeared, but the process run smooth.
then i tried to launch bfme online edition getting the error screen again, sadly

[Echo]

Did you try a complete uninstall? Online edition installation worked just perfectly for me on Win 8.1. If the options.ini file didn't help, I'm not really sure what else could cause that.

 

I'm also wondering why the error message shows issues with gamedata.ini, could it be a corrupt ini.big file in the directory? I would try uninstalling the game and removing all remaining files you can find (EA Games folder and My Battle for Middle-earth folder too), also using CCleaner's registry cleaning tool and install the game anew.

[Streex]

okey, i'll try doing so

Don't know if you already tried but you should really try delete ALL registry keys after uninstalling. If you don't know how to do that or what I'm talking about watch this video: http://youtu.be/FP6ux4_WA48?t=5m1s until about 7:20. In the attached screen shot you can see which folders you have to look for and delete if they're still present (the video is about tbfme2).

 

Also make sure that the folder "%appdata%\My Battle for Middle-earth Files" is deleted (or at least the folders in it)

uninstalled the bfgme cd-installed files
uninstalled the files from the online launcher ect
used ccleaner
checked registyry keys and found nothing to delete, no folders about ea games, bfme or anything related
