Windows 10 with Lord of the Rings - Battle for Middle Earth II

I had "BFME II has stopped working" error on Windows 10 and this solution worked for me. Thanks!

Hi!

I had the same problem that you have, and i asked EA support to give me an unmaterialistic version of the rise of the Witch King that works in windows 10 (but you need to own an original key installation with the EA-account linked (they check it !))

(I described all in this question page:

https://answers.microsoft.com/fr-fr/windows/forum/games\_windows\_10/message-derreur-le-cd-rom-est-introuvable-pour-la/44e5bc98-c206-44ae-869d-ad906fee2530?tm=1507327139570. It's on french but you should be good using Google Translate)

I hope it'll hep you if you are still trying to play that great game !

If anyone is still trying to solve this issue, this worked for me:

Open notepad, and copy and paste the following text:

AllHealthBars = yes

AmbientVolume = 50.000000

AudioLOD = High

Brightness = 50

GameSpyIPAddress = 192.168.2.101

HasSeenLogoMovies = yes

IdealStaticGameLOD = VeryLow

MovieVolume = 70.000000

MusicVolume = 70.000000

Resolution = 1600 900

SFXVolume = 70.000000

ScrollFactor = 50

SendDelay = no

StaticGameLOD = UltraHigh

TimesInGame = 3

UseEAX3 = no

VoiceVolume = 70.000000

Save this notepad file as "options.ini" making sure that .ini is the file type.

Save this in the folder "My Battle for Middle-earth(tm) II Files" within "C:\Users...\AppData\Roaming". You may need to create the folder yourself (without speech marks).

Note that if you want to change your resolution you can do so in the text string above under the resolution line (mine is 1600x900).

In case anyone wants to play BFME 1 and is having similar issues, follow the same steps except use the following text:

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 = 1600 900

SFXVolume = 70

ScrollFactor = 50

StaticGameLOD = UltraHigh

TimesInGame = 63

UnitDecals = yes

UseEAX3 = no

VoiceVolume = 70

Again save this notepad file as "options.ini" making sure that .ini is the file type.

Save this in the folder "My Battle for Middle-earth Files" within "C:\Users...\AppData\Roaming". You may need to create the folder yourself (without speech marks).

some people do not have that option. What worked for me was toggling the, "Override high DPI Scaling Behavior" checkbox.
