Wanted to see if anyone had a fix for startup crashes for BFME II. I made a post on the regular fix forum however wanted to reach out here as well.

 

Game won't open and crashes with no error message. All of this even after all of the fixes recommended like option.ini and game.dat.

 

I'm on re install number three to see if there were any sort of corrupted files. But will keep trying until I find a fix.

I'm on re install number three to see if there were any sort of corrupted files. But will keep trying until I find a fix.

I am as well. I installed the base game and each patch sequentially, and the game would not get past the default loading screen that appears on your desktop before you get the "Launch" button option. I installed an options file, game.dat, and created a maps folder to no avail.

 

 

I got it to work. I uninstalled the game using the uninstall executable in the Program files (86x) Electronic Arts folder, wiped the Roaming folders, and did a fresh reinstall.

 

Then I followed the instructions doing this:

1.) Mount disk drive and install game.

2.) Install patch 1.06

3.) Install path 1.09 using patch switcher

4.) Download Game.dat. Here's what was getting me besides one other thing: On chrome, downloading game.dat you have to replace a game.dat already in your folder. There's game.dat and game2.dat. I deleted each of these files before and added it in, you are not supposed to do that. Chrome will download game.dat as game(2).dat or game(3).dat if you had downlaoded it before, so be sure to change the name to game.dat and just drop it in on a fresh install and overwrite the existing game.dat.

5.) Do windows key + r, type %appdata%, get to the roaming folder for BFME 2, and create a Maps folder and and Options file. The options file will have the same issue as the game.dat if you had previously downloaded it. 

6.) It should work after this, if you keep getting issues, wipe every file but the disk mounter and just follow the steps carefully, make sure there are no residue files.
