  • 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

      • 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!

    could you tell me how to use WInCDE? I installed WINCDE. I right clicked MDS file. It asked which drive I want to mount and what is the type. What should I do next? (Is the Drive D? CD-ROM?)

    Guys I have the solution to the issue where it says you need to enter a cd: on drive C: (or whatever your install drive is)!
    Now, to preface, I have Daemon Tools lite Pro, since I use it for work, so I do not know if the features are available for free, but I can pomise that this does work.
    You need to create a data image first. This can be done in the Image Editor option on DT. Make sure the size is set to 23.3gb as the unpacked files are 12gb or so. Make format MDS/MDF. Once the image file is created, locate where you saved the file and right click>mount to new SCSI drive. This will be the MDF file. You will still have to mount the MDS file in order to actually launch the game. The windows autorun will pop up, open it like it’s an external drive, and install using the instructions above. You should be free and clear from here, at least it worked for me.

    I find that on first install attempt, it seems to require a disk to be inserted into the drive with the same letter as the drive that you’re attempting to install from. Does anyone have a solution for this?

      Could be an OS compatibility issue with Win 11. I’ve seen it a time or two with other legacy software. Maybe try to virtualize an older OS, like 7 or Vista? VMWare workstation player is free for personal use now.

    bleak – followed the steps but when trying to install after the CD-Key I get “A problem occured when trying to transfer the file ‘C:\BFME 2 + Rise of the Witch King\Game Files\BFME2\BFME2 Installer\data\movies\LoadingRing.vp6’ from the media”

    I even tried moving the file manually but the installer looks for it. Would appreciate some help on this please
