    I have also tried the compatibility options... none of them are working correctly. I don't know why? Hope it will for windows 10.

    Like your, Here in my PC The game was not allowed to create an options. ini in the C:\Users[your login name]\AppData\Roaming\My Battle for Middle-earth(tm) Files folder.

    I also have tried the compatibility options... none of them work. I'm going to try this reply I found below out and see if it does the trick. The instructions below I know work for Vista, Windows 7, 8, and 8.1. Hopefully it will for windows 10.

    The game was not allowed to create an options.ini in the C:\Users[your login name]\AppData\Roaming\My Battle for Middle-earth!\[\](http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png)(tm) Files folder. So if you don't see an options.ini you'll have to create one yourself... it should contain the following lines:

    AllHealthBars = yes

    AlternateMouseSetup = no

    AmbientVolume = 50

    AudioLOD = High

    Brightness = 50

    FixedStaticGameLOD = UltraHigh

    FlashTutorial = 0

    HasSeenLogoMovies = yes

    HeatEffects = yes

    IdealStaticGameLOD = Low

    IsThreadedLoad = yes

    MovieVolume = 70

    MusicVolume = 70

    Resolution = 1680 1050

    SFXVolume = 70

    ScrollFactor = 50

    StaticGameLOD = UltraHigh

    TimesInGame = 54

    UnitDecals = yes

    UseEAX3 = no

    VoiceVolume = 70

    you will have to adjust the resolution to that of your own screen!

    Thanks! It worked :)

    I'm using the patched version (1.02) on Windows 10.

    DO you thing that the makers of Lord of The Rings games will possibly remake them so they are more updated and compatible? I think all die hard fans are waiting for a game that is similar to the one we all love but is updated with more options, and sticks to books and movies themes like the originals did so well.
