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

Hi All, 

I have found a solution for windows 10! So the options.ini file creation does work. You just need to make sure you actually put an .ini (configuration) file into it and not create a text file. You cannot just create a text file and rename it options.ini!

Here's what I did:

• Search in your C: drive for ".ini"
• Copy any .ini file into the game folder located at (C:)>Users>your username>appdata>roaming>game folder
• Rename the file to "options", open in it notepad or notepad++ and replace existing text with what is below this. Hope this works for you!

AllHealthBars = yes

AlternateMouseSetup = no

AmbientVolume = 50

IdealStaticGameLOD = Low

IsThreadedLoad = yes

*Note: You may have to change the resolution

I created account here just to say BIG THANK YOU my saviour. Worked like a charm for me on Win10 PC Intel i5 8600K Nvidia 1060. Tried everything before but nothing worked.

Hey all Great news!!!!

BFME 2 Does play and work on windows 10.

This is what I did:

1. I had to create an Options.ini with this info in it, Create in 

C:\Users[your name]\AppData\Roaming\My Battle for Middle-earth(tm) II Files

AllHealthBars = yes

AmbientVolume = 100.000000

AudioLOD = High

Brightness = 50

GameSpyIPAddress = 192.168.0.113

HasSeenLogoMovies = yes

IdealStaticGameLOD = VeryLow

MovieVolume = 100.000000

MusicVolume = 100.000000

Resolution = 1280 960

SFXVolume = 100.000000

ScrollFactor = 50

SendDelay = no

StaticGameLOD = UltraHigh

TimesInGame = 3

UseEAX3 = no

VoiceVolume = 100.000000

2. In same folder, create a new folder called Maps
3. DO NOT USE COMPATIBILITY!!!!
4. Go to this link and download

<http://www.moddb.com/games/battle-for-middle-earth-ii/downloads/bfme-startup-fixxer>

once installed click on fix bfme2, if it says the fix has been done do you want to reset what u did, click yes.

It will then popup and say test.

Run the game and it should work perfectly!!

5. Enjoy!

This worked for me http://www.moddb.com/games/battle-for-middle-earth-ii/downloads/bfme-startup-fixxer

i know it looks fake, but  really. Only solution that helped me :)

FYI your options.ini advice worked a treat.

I simply changed the resolution to match my hardware [1920*1080] and Boom. Happy Dayz!! thanks Louis!!

P.S. No need to copy an ini file. Create new txt doc, open it and paste the ini contents, save and close.

Ensure 'Hide extensions for known file types' is un-checked in folder options (see below pic).

RENAME 'NewTextDocument.txt' to 'options.ini' and your done.

I also used this method for BFME (first one) and it worked fine using the same 'options.ini' from  BFME2

should be in your c drive I think

go to c drive/users/"your username"/appdata/roaming

note that in order to see the "appdata" folder you will most likely have to "show hidden files and folders". In order to do this, you'll need to search in windows for "show hidden" and click on the control panel link (see first screenshot below)

Then check the highlighted box below and press apply

You should then be able to find the folder

Again, I expect the appdata folder to be on your c drive
