For starters, when I was "updating" from the Launcher I was getting an error that said some files could not be copied but, the update still went through and it said "success" so, I brushed it off as a non-issue.
After that - I try to launch the game via the launcher and I get the "no cd" error. Well, I launched ROTWK from the desktop and it works perfectly fine and it even has the Edain Mod start-up background. However, I noticed many(most) of the new maps and factions are missing. I tried to do a skirmish and there was only Gondor, Rohan, Mordor, and Dwarves. Nothing else. There was only the War of the Ring option and the Skirmish option, as well - no single player.
So -- what am I doing wrong?! BFME 2 works fine. I have no sub-mods. ROTWK even launches from the desktop, but not from the launcher. Thanks.
