2016-02-25T19:00:43+00:00 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!
I approve, this option work on Windows 10

2018-06-16T20:30:52+00:00 I was able to make it work. You have to follow the following steps:
- 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. You do this by opening up notepad and pasting the below text. You can change the resolution if you want.
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
- Save the file as options.ini.
- Run BFME2 under Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) Compatibility Mode.
I have done this twice now and it should work. Good luck.
(Side Note: If you want to play Rise of the Witch King. Follow the same steps above but place the options.ini in the Rise of the Witch King directory instead.)
