    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.

    So I don't have a graphics processor other than the one in the laptop I'm using. I've tried disabling it, and then it says I need directx 9. When I download that it says it can only be downloaded from older versions of windows and I'm not going all the way back that way to play the game. I just really want to play and it sucks I paid for this **** and can't even play it.
