    Try the BfME Startup Fixxer

    Worked to me in Win10. Hope it helps!

    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

    I had no problem getting BFME 2 to work on Windows 10 after all the fixes.  The issue I have now is that my saved games won't load.  Sucks when you play for hours and have nothing to show for it.  Does anyone else have this problem? Or a fix.....I found one online but it was unnecessarily long winded and never really got to the point of fixing the saved game crash.

    Did you try compatibility mode?

    References Windows 8.1, but the same principles should work for Windows 10.
