Just watched this is January of 2024. Still works! Legendary video. I'm not a PC guy so it took me some time and I think i had to do some work-arounds but I got it!
I just now got my hands on the battle for middle earth anthology and inserted the disk to replay the game after more than a decade! this guide helped a TON! Thanks a lot!!!
This worked perfectly for me and I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to computers. Haven’t played this game in 13 years but I’ve been dying to for a long time now. Thanks a lot
I just had a leg operation, I'm lying down and can't move, I really wanted to play this game from years ago and you helped me! Thank you very much, it works in October 2024
worked for me. Awesome. THank you! Man, running max graphics now days on fast computers and on 4k screen, the graphics look so smooth and 10x better than when I was a kid. I am so impressed
Thank you so much for this video! My dad has the original game and recently got a new pc tower so had to reinstall it but it just wouldn't play. After doing what you suggested, it ran perfectly!
You are one of the greatest men to walk this earth! we salute you. thank you so much for saving the day and allowing us to play this classic game once more!
Worked for me. Thank you :) I tried everywhere, what worked for me is to uncheck the compatibility to nothing. I read that you could try to change the compatibility to an earlier compatibility. I saw this fix and forgot to change the compatibility, if someone like me that tried everything remember to uncheck the compatibility.
I was honestly about to give up after 2 days of trying to get this game to work on my new pc, but then I saw this video and I just have to give you my biggest thanks bro. I left a FAT thumbs up.(This same fix works for bfme 2 as well, I tried). Again, thank you.
Hi, Just a question Did you get full resolution? I tipped in my files the 1920x1020 in but the game still opens in something like 1600x1020 or so.. although the resolution in files says 1920x1020.
Big f***ing props!!! This works so well! Thank you so much! Found an old CD-box with Battle for Middle Earth 1 & 2 in it and was so happy to get it working!
I've got everything to work except for the 1.06 wide-screen download. Whenever I click on the download nothing happens and it won't install to my computer. Is there another way to get the 1.06 download?
Finally a method that actually works! Even w/o these additional patches for resolution - I'm happy that it works. If you have something similar for Generals: ZH (I see you have it installed), that would be perfect - for some reason it stopped working :/
Hey man, do you know why when i click the 'Patch 1.06 Widescreen Map Height Fix' it doesn't allow me to downlaod it? I've completed the _aptpatch.rar step by extracting the BIG file and pasting it into BFME destination... but I'm now stuck
Mine will intermittenly say "Please insert the Correct DVD-ROM, select OK and restart application. Its not my disk drive because i can run other disc games and cds and stuff. Any thoughts?
There is a fan project being worked on. BFME: Reforged. From what I have seen looks good. Progress is slow cause they can't take any money so it's all in their free time
thanks for the video. The "options ini" fix worked at first. But now I get the CD error for battle for middle earth 1 and i cant find a video that shows me how to fix it. Is it possible to fix it?
Another question: When I click on "check for updates" It says "could not connect" or "the game is already running", threfore I'm unable to continue with the steps. Whan can I do to solve this? thank you very much
My options were already out there. But somehow i can't seem to launch the game. It ramains stuck at the starters screen (no warnings at all, it just doen't run.
In the How to Install guide it says play without strechted palantir,spellbook. I searched for that in the options but couldnt find it. Where do I change that?
Super old video, but when I try to open the game, it gives me an error saying something like "MoveForNoOne" any ideas? I want to play this game so bad!
I've tried to do it and I even followed all the directions and it's just giving me an error code with two options one is to press OK and the other one is Debug break and if I clean either of those it just logs me out I'm running on windows 11 and I need help with this
Is there any alteration to this process if your using T3As download? I downloaded both .big files and dropped them not the disk file, I run everything just fine but don’t see any changes in how zoomed in I am... any thoughts??
that was strange... The files werent empty and I still had teh zoom. I tried a few tutorials (this includes) added the options.Ini and even replaced the resolution in the previous option files and downloaded the patch but nothing has changed
Adam işi iyi açıklamış güzel açıklamış olmuş bu. Oluşturduğunuz Options dosyası "ini" haline gelmeyebilir options.ini.txt olarak kalabilir kısmı sayesinde başka bir video yetmediği yerde imdada yetişti.

yes, yes, yes. i spent two days trying to get this game to work. finally found this video and it started right up. windows 10 compatibility was not working at all.
If you still need an answer, it is in the description. Basically the fix forgot that the maps are different from the evil perspective and that causes the error

Crazy idk this guy really did a good job at explaining what to do without giving you the opportunity to get frustrated
This was the easiest tutorial I've come across, and it works perfectly. Now I can enjoy my nostalgia trip. thank you!!
Fr all the other ones are so extra it’s not even funny
We need someone like you for every old game out there lol. good job!

Привет земляк, а как ты скачал этот файл Patch 1.06 Widescreen Map height fix? Не загружается почему-то
This worked for me!! I can't express how happy this makes me. BFME is the game that got me in PC gaming.
Was a little confused on the app data because you said close it but I had to put another % sign at the end but I eventually got it. Thanks a ton.
Sorry for my English, i'm not a native speaker. Thank you very much. Relevant in 2021, thank you again
Awesome thanks! I searched all over the place and this worked. You are a hero and a scholar!
You sir have allowed me to play one of my favourite games thank you 😁
Thank you so much!!! I've been trying to get this to work for hours and this video finally did it.
Thank you, I managed to get it to run after making the options.ini file :D
Still works
You’re a hero man, thanks a lot 👍
Hi, Just a question
Did you get full resolution? I tipped in my files the 1920x1020 in but the game still opens in something like 1600x1020 or so.. although the resolution in files says 1920x1020.
Hi, i think it worked for me in 1920x1020, i have to check it to be sure but i believe it worked
Finally someone who knows what he is doing. The save as did the trick as just naming it .ini doesnt actually make it a config file.
Dude you are a legend, tried so many things and yours worked
In my case, i've accidentally deleted Option.ini files.. NEVER NEVER Delete that "option.ini". Thanks for this explanation, it worked out Well !! XD
Worked for me! Thank you I can play one of my favourite games from my childhood again :)
Fixt it!!! Thank you so much 😍 finally can play the game again and better than ever
you sir, are a God.. now i can play one of my favorit games ever.
You’re the best enough said!
Nice one, worked for me! Thanks for this. Aaah the nostalgia :)
Now?
Big f***ing props!!! This works so well! Thank you so much! Found an old CD-box with Battle for Middle Earth 1 & 2 in it and was so happy to get it working!
Great! Thank you it really works on my Win10. Very easy and straight to the point.
Thank you! Been trying to get this to work for 2 days now and finally it works. Thanks
I've got everything to work except for the 1.06 wide-screen download. Whenever I click on the download nothing happens and it won't install to my computer. Is there another way to get the 1.06 download?
Amazing, thank you so much. It's easy to follow and it worked like a charm.
Works for 1 & 2. Easy to follow , no fluff
Absolutly great help! just bought it again and i can play again! thanks
WOO TY I just got this game off eBay after remembering what an awesome game it was from my childhood!!!
Your tutorial actually worked for me! Must note to type in %appdata%
Finally a method that actually works! Even w/o these additional patches for resolution - I'm happy that it works. If you have something similar for Generals: ZH (I see you have it installed), that would be perfect - for some reason it stopped working :/
I just ran it from Origin. The disc install I am not sure how to fix, probs along the same methods
@@dragonfire5511 i cant download "Patch 1.06 Widescreen Map height fix" any solution?
Thank you so much! It also worked for Battle for Middle Earth 2 as well!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! Easy and to the point! i can play one of my favorite games again!! Thank you! Easiest tutorial worked 1st time!

Greetings from 2022 and my huge thanks!
The 1.06 patch is no more downloadable, is there any chance we can get it somewhere else?
There should be a way to get from the site I pulled the fixes from.

where did you get that notes from? i mean the notes you copied in text document?
Thank you! I was worried I'd have to return the game because it just wouldn't play. Now I don't have to.
The hero we need but do not deserve 🙇🏻♀🙇🏻♀🙇🏻♀

Thanks legends, you're the best!
After creating the Option.ini how did you copy and past Audio and the resolution?
Same question here
You are the best I love you my friend It is a very excellent and effective method 🌹🌹🌹👍🏻😎
I wonder why auto run doesnt bring up the installation screen?
Wow man it worked like a charm tyvm u r awesome ty ty ty. BTW i did this on win 11
Where did you find the information you out in the blank document ?
Estou tentando jogar online ai aparece esse alerta > the specified account or subaccount wasn't found. Help-me plis
Searching for updates right before applying the last UI fix doesn't work, I get an error saying it can't establish a connection.
Same problem! How did you resolve it?
do you have to have the disc version installed in order for this to work?
Thank you mate. It`s really working. What about BFME2 and RTWK? :D
Much less complicated fix for those
When i search for the "%appdata%" folder. Nothing comes up....
There's also no "My BFME files" anywhere.
Do you have view hidden files on? If not your going to need to find that in your system settings. The appdata folder is hidden by default on most PCs
@@dragonfire5511 When I go on file explorer options i already have "show hidden files, folder and drives selected". So I don't think it's that :(
@@thetopherhaslanded im not sure how to help then sadly. which OS do you have? that maybe why things are different
During Evil Campaign some of the maps do not work, what is a way I can fix this problem, it crashes the game and has me restart the game.
If you still need an answer, it is in the description. Basically the fix forgot that the maps are different from the evil perspective and that causes the error
sorry i can't download the file Patch 1.06 Widescreen Map height fix, i press but doesn't star even i have the permission , help please
Its work for me, thank you very much for help
