  • Instructions BFME_2_+_Rise_of_the_Witch_King.rar

    How to play on Windows

    1. Click on the download button. It should redirect you to your download. Make sure you download the file properly and that your internet does not disconnect while downloading.
    2. While waiting for your download, make sure that you have a software called Daemon Tools installed on your computer.
    3. Extract the “BFME 2 + Rise of the Witch King” folder to your desktop.
    4. Drag the folder to your C:// disc on your computer.
    5. Open the “BFME 2 + Rise of the Witch King” folder and then open the “Game Files” folder.

    Instructions for The Battle for Middle Earth 2

    1. Open the folder called BFME2 and then the folder called BFME2 Installer. Inside the BFME Installer folder, you want to double click on the file called AutoRun.exe and the installer for The Battle for Middle Earth 2 should launch. Go through the game setup – at some point they will ask you to insert a CD-key. Use any one of these and finish the installation:
      • HNB3-GRYM-GLUS-HKTU-Y9V8
      • XLWW-55XX-5MB8-Q6QJ-5JAP
      • 42FP-FQES-GW72-MT37-MCGQ

      • ATK3-5TTF-9HJH-3TRW-2F8F
      • M9NN-6NWW-5VRB-5KLN-EVV3
    2. If you run the game now, they will ask you to insert a CD so it will not work. What you have to do, is open up the software called Daemon Tools and then select add a new drive. You want the virtual drive to be “SCSI” and then select “Add drive”. If this part is a bit complicated, watch the video below and you can see how I did it for clearer instructions. You then want to drag the “MI-BFME2.mds” file (it will be 9KB) into the empty drive on Daemon tools. Note: If Daemon Tools doesn't work, then use WinCDEmu.
    3. The next step, is that you want to go back into the folder called “Game Files”. In here, you want to open the “Options.ini” file (double click it). You will see a line of code which says “Resolution = 1920 1080”. You want to change these numbers to the resolution of your computer, and then save the document.
    4. Next, you want to click on your start menu and then search for %appdata% and you want to click on the %appdata% folder. This is usually C:\Users\(your username)\AppData\Roaming. Inside this folder, you want to find the folder called “My Battle for Middle-earth ™ II Files”. You want to open that folder, and then you want to copy, and then paste, the “Options.ini” file from step 3 into the “My Battle for Middle-earth ™ II Files” folder.
    5. You can now run the game from the desktop shortcut, and the insert a CD message should go away.
    6. Enjoy the game!

    I have a Mac, and I was hoping to download BFME 2 on windows 7 that I have partitioned. Would this tutorial work for windows 7? Or do I need windows 10? My Mac is older and it doesn’t look like windows 10 is supported on my model of Mac. I guess also, is it possible to download this on a Mac os?

    I’ve followed the instructions but as soon as I click autorun.exe, I get the setup window but instead of a screen to enter the code all I get is ‘insert disc to C:?? I have no idea what I’ve done wrong

        I have faced all of the problems mentioned here once. My advice is follow the installation video precisely!!!!! The only problem you will be facing, if you do not have paid version of daemon tools you may not have the provisions to add SCSI drives. So better install winCDEmu and install both images as cd-roms. Good luck!! Please do follow the instructions especially do not forget to copy the installation files to C drive!!

          I bet you hide comments in moderation afraid of people calling out on these broken files. I cannot even get to the install screen without “Please Insert CD 1 into Drive G” so I cannot enter product key.

    After install when I try to launch the game I get an error box-

    “game.dat- System Error: The code execution cannot proceed because D3Dx9_27.DLL was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem”

    Anybody else encounter this?

        I Got the please insert cd message when I try launching the game (mind you that the message also showed up when I was suppose to open and close the game at the start of the video guide) the only other thing that did not happen as it did in the guide was the my battle for middle earth file did not show up automatically so I made it myself
        I have zero clue why it did not work

          Hey are you sure you mounted the files correctly? you getting that message suggests that you’ve not mounted the files as SCSI on daemon tools, of maybe you didn’t drag the downloaded folder into your C:// directory?

      I am sure there are still some ways to play online but I don’t know much about which servers are still active. I would search around forums to find out. Or if anyone knows more and can reply here would be very appreciated

      hey did you mount the MI-BFME2.mds file into daemon tools and also add the Options.ini into the AppData folder? If they give you that error it most likely means you did not do these steps correctly
