The download was temporarily not working because we reached the daily download limits of 50GB in less then 30 minutes. Switched now to dropbox premium, it will cost us some money but you guys are worth it
I have been trying for an age to get these games again. You have done something amazing, I always used to play these games with my grandfather and while he is still with us he moved away. The nostalgia and sheer happiness to claim a part of my childhood that I can carry with me has almost brought me to tears. Thanks you and May God bless you
Huge thanks to: Ravo, who is the creator of our new awesome Launcher as well as our developer/coder for patch 2.22! Huge thanks to Balindru, our Art designer and campaign developer! Huge thanks to Dimek, our lead Developer/Coder for patch 2.22! Huge thanks to Luka our mental support moderator and launcher tester. Huge tanks to Legolasso our campaign tester. AND OFC HUGE THANKS TO ALL OF YOU and have fun with the new Launcher :)
As someone who played the cd-versions years ago I'm absolutely hyped, but the question I'd ask is: Are there issues with copyright and could it be illegal to use the launcher in some countrys?
@@treebeardjr.5347 BFME games are abandoneware, EA dropped them in 2010 and you basically cannot buy them anymore. Also, new pcs dont even have a cd rom anymore
Can't stress enough how much your work means to us fans and especially on a personal level, your love for this game and community is hard to match. Keep hitting like them trucks Shanks!!
You truly are the savior of this game i started replaying it thanks to you and no you bring us the holy grail to enjoy evenmore those incredible games !
i was feeling nostalgic and wanted to play my old rts games. and was looking around for a way to play BFME games and i am so happy i found this. thank you so much.
@@adamarcher1814 I know I dont need the DVDS, I just have the DVD error. There was something that I had to do with Daemon Tools or something but I don´t know how to do that. This was easy to hack and install years ago, now I´m in trouble
@@adamarcher1814did you experience extremely poor performance with the game? Because mine is running at smg ridiculous like 4 fps, making it next to impossible to play
This is amazing, I can't believe how awesome it is that someone actually put all this together! Can't wait until you get BFME and Rise of the Witch King up! Incredible!
Thank you immensely! This game holds tremendous significance for me, and I had been searching for it everywhere without success. During a challenging childhood, visiting my grandparents provided a fleeting escape, made all the more precious by this game. Its impact on me is profound, and I'm eager to show support for the team behind it. Thank you sincerely!
Thank you for everyone’s hard work on this. This game was a staple of my childhood and is an amazing RTS game. Thanks for keeping it alive, even though I get wrecked every time I play 😂
Words cannot express how much i am thankful for this! Tears of joy and excitement are here with memories of childhood. Thank you guys and may god bless yall
I'm blown away! This is so good! this looks so good! You guys are incredible! Thank you for reuniting me with my childhood! Thank you for all the hard work, seriously incredible work!
Thank you so much for this you earned a subscriber you deserve it all my man! I was stuck 3 hrs trying to figuring out the bug and error of installing the bfme 2 and finally saw this one launcher to rule them all! this is a life saver!
YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! I have wanted to play these games again for the longest time and have tried a bunch of methods until I randomly found your subreddit. Keep up the incredible work! :)
I would like to thank everyone how help make and work on this. This helps me play a game I loved as a kid with out the downloading hassle because I am not tech savvy I am your Hubble farmer no tech skills. So a big thank you to all from New Zealand
Saw this video and immediately downloaded it after. This is absolutely amazing!! Can’t wait till battle for middle earth 2 and rise of the witch king gets added! I’m glad to see other people as passionate as me for these old strategy games!
I almost cryed when i found this video i tough the games id dead.This was the very very first game wath i played online i met a lots of friends in this game and we are still friends to this day i am so happy downloading it right now and i show my support where i can and show this to my old friends to
THIS IS AMAZING! Thanks so much to all involved. Particularly regarding the simplicity of downloading. Playing today after god knows how many years. Talk about nostalgia :D
so excited to find this, I used to love this game growing up, would spend hours upon hours playing it instead of going outside! now I can finally finish it!
I am not able to try it out right now, but if it works as said I gotta say: Absolutely phenomenal work guys! Thank you so much for making this tedious work-around from before unnecessary! I wanted to play the game with some friends who do not know the game from the past but explaining the installation process to them was too annoying so we did play some other games instead. Now they will surely be able to play with me! All thanks to you guys!
This launcher is incredible. I've been wanting to re-live my younger years playing bfme and this has made it sooo easy. Thank you very much for all your hard work on this.
This is great just got it today! Just figured out how to switch over to BFME 2 after having a go on 1 (wanted to play as some elves!) Thank you for this, I have been wanting to play this game since I first heard of it in 2008 but never had a gaming PC until now
Lovely I came across this video, used your guides to get the game running a year or 2 ago. New pc now, I couldn't find your old installation guides at first, but this launcher would make it even easier. Might even be able to convince some friends to give it a go Great work! Also, first time I'll be playing a mod, the Age of the Ring looks sick
Dude you are single handedly bringing this game back and because of you I can finally convince my friends to play too! On a side note, does anyone know if the Age Of The Ring mod will work with this?
Hey is there going to be a mac version of this ever? I see it's an exe file. And I'm dying to play BFME again. You think this can be made into a dmg file for Mac?
thank you so much. I was searching that game for more than 10 years and can finally play it. Even for a tech idiot like me -> super easy to install. thank you
Downloading now, I got the CD's for both bmfe 1 and 2, and Rise of the witch king. but lost a couple of them. cant wait to play this game again! Thank you!
Just wanted to say thank you, i downloaded it and I am now playing one of my favorite games I have ever played in my life. lord of the rings is/was Important to me through out my entire life. again, thank you
THANK YOU SO MUTCH BRO! YOU SAFE MY LIFE! I am being try to download one of the three a long time ago and i never did it an now i did it at a very good version!
yessss finally i can play bfme 1 again as soon i heard it didnt need a cd i was like ohhhhhh this is gonna be good thx to everyone ho worked on this and you beyondstandards huge thx for making this vid.
My wife has never seen the lord of the rings movies we just got done watching two towers. While watching I remember an rts game I played and was dismayed to not see it on steam. Gonna download this launcher now to hopefully be able to play this. Thanks for letting me relive a bit of my childhood.
Very disappointing, after DL when I go to launch, it checks for updates and an error message pops up saying cant connect to server, check internet connection and try again later.
I just finished the og trilogy and all I could think was all the fun I had with my friends playing this. I can't believe there's such strong independent support community away from the Evil Arts Margoth.
New Launcher looks sick, thank you! Can't wait for it to support ROTWK as it's definitely my favorite edition 😍 Also... my god, that desktop background! For the love of manwe, can you drop a tutorial on how to set it up? My gaming rig just needs it!
This is amazing!! Easy as can be! Confirmed working as of 17 may 2024. I had BFME1 didn't run, but I did the "Analyse and Repair" option and that fixed it 💪🏻💪🏻
Amazing work, in the client, there is only patch 2.01 for ROTWK, can I add an external file into the client to be able to play 2.02 or no and I need to wait until its added by the moderators?
Me and some of my friends use to play this all the time. Seeing this on modern machines is just amazing. This game will always be one of my favorite games even after nearly 20 years. This launcher really saved me a shitload of time from using CDs again.
The game wont open for me, keep tabbing me out. I can hear some sound from the game but when I try to open the game I keep getting tabbed out to the deskop
As far as I know this patch would not cause problems in playing the age of the ring mod if only there was the option to download rotw 2.01 patch, however this launcher only allows you to download higher patches
The download was temporarily not working because we reached the daily download limits of 50GB in less then 30 minutes. Switched now to dropbox premium, it will cost us some money but you guys are worth it
thank you so much!

Windows 11 workn ?
I downloaded the launcer, but when i double click on it nothing happens?
should i do something before i launch the bfmelauncher?
thanks in advance
ROTWK support arrived?

The nostalgia and sheer happiness to claim a part of my childhood that I can carry with me has almost brought me to tears. Thanks you and May God bless you
One launcher to rule them all, one launcher to find all the patches, one launcher to bring BFME fans together and in the community bind them!
amen

(Like the video with the bfme keys)
@@kevtshko as he said its abandoneware they dont care about those games
A huge thank you to you Shanks and the entire launcher team! Thanks to your efforts BFME games are no longer abandoned.
Any idea when BFME2 will be able to be played with the launcher?! Cause this worsk perfect. And all the other methods for BFME2 do not work well.
@@deut Could you tell me how to get the game working? I mean I still have that wrong DVD insert disc thing...any tips?
Can't stress enough how much your work means to us fans and especially on a personal level, your love for this game and community is hard to match. Keep hitting like them trucks Shanks!!
Right?! It means the world to me. This is my favorite game ever created.
Bro, a dream comes true. This make everything so much easyer. You needed a master degree in installing old programs to get this thing going.
Big step!
Damn, like all those patches were not enough, now you guys create something as brutal as experimental AI. Great work!
Shanks is single handedly saving BFME. Bless you.
This is what we need. Epic work boys!! Thank you.

This is amazing!! Easy as can be!
Confirmed working as of 17 may 2024.
I had BFME1 didn't run, but I did the "Analyse and Repair" option and that fixed it 💪🏻💪🏻
Do you still need a CD key for it to run? And is BFME 2 working? ROTWK is the only CD I have left, and it doesn’t work on its own.
I downloaded it, can you play without the disc?
my dad used to play and watch lotr all the time and when he found out i downloaded the game he was so happy thank u
1:30 Lost a chance to say "One tool to handle them all" Shanks 😂
Bro you are a legend ! thanks for sharing
Amazing work, in the client, there is only patch 2.01 for ROTWK, can I add an external file into the client to be able to play 2.02 or no and I need to wait until its added by the moderators?
this i need to know also!
Finally! From GenLauncher for c&c generals to this for bfme. Awesome!
This is just amazing. Gone are the dark tedious days of downloading cd images and mounting with software downloading patches ect.
Did you need a CD key to get it working? The only physical disc I have is ROTWK which can’t play on its own, I need BFME 2.
Me and some of my friends use to play this all the time. Seeing this on modern machines is just amazing. This game will always be one of my favorite games even after nearly 20 years. This launcher really saved me a shitload of time from using CDs again.
is bfme 2 all in one laucher out yet ? :)

As far as I know this patch would not cause problems in playing the age of the ring mod if only there was the option to download rotw 2.01 patch, however this launcher only allows you to download higher patches
Congratulations keep the good work guys god bless you all
❤
thank you so much for this ,so many good memories of the game =)
One of my favorite RTS games, but with practically no way to get it. This is a godsend.
This is amazing thank you guys so much I've missed this game so much how can I pay you for this seriously I've wanted this game back for years
I can't launch BFME 1 because it says that i'm using a 3rd party launcher when i put it in a brand new file.
this is great been having problems to get the game and it was so easy, thanks
This is great! Any idea whe bfme 2 wil be ready? Thanks for showing me this i hate the old installation
you deserve heaven
