Download the BFME 2 iso file. Download the Game.dat file. Download the BFME II Patch Switcher to get the latest version of the game. And finally get the CD Key generator. The game was released a long time time before Origin itself, so if that's an old key from the disk version of the game it won't show up in your Origin client. 1) Download virtual drive software, can use Daemon Tools Pro(lite doesnt work on win 10), WinCDEmu, or Alcohol 2) Download the BFMEII Iso 3) To install BFME II, mount the iso in your virtual drive, to SCSI, here is an example of what Daemon Pro looks like.
Hi folks,
Thanks for visiting Old School Game Blog. 🙂
Back in 2014 I made a post about how to get Battle for Middle Earth running on PC’s with Windows 8. Since then I have purchased a new system and that one is running Windows 10. Unfortunately it does not come with an optical drive, but I’m going to get an USB-one very soon, so that I can install this game. However, in anticipation of this, I’ve been doing some research on solutions for getting Battle for Middle Earth II running on Windows 10.
A user called Lisulis posted this solution in the Windows help forum:
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!
