I’ve always loved the Lord of the Rings Battle for Middle Earth II real time strategy game. It’s fun, great looking, challenging, and at times epic.

I’ve been playing it for years and years, all the way back to my old XP machine circa 2006. 10+ years is a pretty good run for a game. And it still looks and plays great.

However, I just tried to re-install it on my Windows 10 HTPC / Gaming machine and was met with frustration. After digging around on various message boards and piecing together solutions I got it to work.

So, here it is, a simple step by step procedure to getting Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth II (LOTRBFME2) to work on your windows 10 machine.

1. Mount & Install like normal
2. Set the Compatibility mode to run in XP Service Pack 3 (right click the shortcut and make the change in the Compatibility tab)
3. Set the preference to run the program as Administrator in the same tab
4. Press Okay
5. Go to c:users[username]AppDataRoamingMy Battle for Middle-earth(tm) II Files (this will most likely be empty)
6. Click ‘View’ on the windows explorer menu
   7. Choose to “Show File Extensions”
   8. Right click in the directory and choose “New” and choose Text Document
7. In the document add these 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

8. Save file as options.ini
   11. IMPORTANT the file will be named options.ini.txt so you need to delete the .txt part of this. The icon will change from a text document to an ini file.
   NOTE: You can download this file and copy it into the My Battle for Middle Earth directory and save yourself steps 6 – 11 above.

Now just run the file off your desktop. If you get a pop up asking if you want to all the exe to make changes to your system, just say yes. That’s because it’s running in Admin mode.
