If you have any trouble installing or playing the new version, please describe your problems as precisely as you can, and we'll try to help you get them solved :)


Frequent issues and questions

1. The game crashes when I click Skirmish, War of the Ring or Network in the main menu.

This problem occurs if you had last selected a custom hero or a faction that no longer exists in the Edain 4.0 Demo before you installed the demo. There are three possible ways to fix it:

1. Open the launcher, go into the "Options & Tools" menu and click "Fix Non-Starting Games".
2. Manually delete the folder "My The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king Files".
3. Disable the mod through the launcher and start the regular game. Delete all custom heroes. Then enter Skirmish and select Mordor as a faction. Enter the War of the Ring mode and select Mordor there as well. Quit the game and reactivate the mod.

2. I received a DirectX error when starting the game

This error is caused by the additional modification SweetFX, which we use to improve graphics. Uninstall Edain and install it again without checking "SweetFX" during setup.

3. My game does not start. The startup screen appears, but the game does not open.

This error can occur under the operating systems Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 because they don't officially support the Battle for Middle-earth.  To fix this, open the launcher, go into the "Options & Tools" menu and click "Fix Non-Starting Games". Error messages like "Insert the correct CD / DVD ROM" will NOT be fixed this way.

4. I have a lot of "Missing" errors instead of actual text.

You most likely do not have the base game installed in German or English. Edain text will only be displayed 100% correctly if your base game is installed in one of these two languages. Uninstall the mod and the game, then reinstall it in German or English.

5. I created an custom hero but I can't select it for skirmish.

To choose a custom hero, first click on his greyed-out name in the list, then press the first button of his name on your keyboard. This way, every hero can be chosen for every faction. If you hover your mouse cursor over the box where you select your own hero, a popup will appear that also contains these instructions.

6. The game crashes after roughly 15 minutes.

In case of unexplained crashes, first try uninstalling both the mod and the base game and reinstalling from scratch. If that doesn't help, post your problem in our Support Forums. But first, ensure that you are not running a crack or no-CD-patch. These are not compatible with the Edain Mod and should not be discussed in our forums due to their illegal nature.

7. Units in the game are pink or invisible.

Most likely this means you have a corrupted asset.dat. In many cases, this problem can be solved by uninstalling the mod, then reinstalling it. If you still have the same problem, try redownloading the entire mod and installing it from the redownloaded files. If the problem persists, please contact us on Moddb or in the Modding Union forums.

8. I can't play as Arnor.

Arnor is not a full faction of its own. Instead, it replaces Gondor on maps that have a thematic connection the war between Angmar and Arnor. If you select Gondor an any of these maps, you will control Arnor instead:

- Angmar
- Arnor
- Cardolan
- Carn Dûm
- Fornost
- Fortress von Amon Sûl
- Forodwaith
- Forochel
- Mitheitelspring
- Mountains of Angmar
- River Luhn
- Mountain Gram

Hello Edain team xD I have just downloaded your mod, but I cannot figure out where the installer is. It comes in a zip file of course, and once I unzip it all I can do is run the launcher, which doesn't install the game. Clicking play Edain mod of course comes up with an error because the mod hasn't been installed yet. I looked through every single folder and I cannot find the installer. I also tried running the program without unzipping it and I can't, as it has no extension while it is zipped, so windows cannot open it. So I'm stuck on how to get this thing installed, and I really want to play it. I have screenshots of everything relevant I could think of, but your site does not allow me to attach png files so I can't show them to you :( I hope this isn't a stupid question lol  :D

Hey, where did you get that download? It shouldn't be a .zip file, it should be a simple .exe file. Just run that, and it will install Edain automatically for you :)

You can get it here at Moddb (http://www.moddb.com/mods/edain-mod/downloads/edain-40-demo-dontt-auth).

I downloaded it from moodb initially, and it came in a zip file. I'll try following your link though  :)

Just fixed it, I had to manually add the .exe extension to it, after downloading the file it didn't have the extension. Same thing happened when I started downloading from your link, you might want to look into this. If anybody has the same problem by some odd chance tell them to rename it and add the extension manually. Maybe my computer is just a unique fucked up case  :D Thanks for your help!

Beitrag von: Dark_Númenor am 30. Mär 2015, 17:16
What do you mean with "the news"?
If it doesn't start i would recommend you to deinstall the Edain Mod via the included uninstaller (You'll find it in your RotWk folder) and reinstall it :)

The mod couldn't uninstall the files from the folder, and also the uninstaller stay in the folder
Titel: Re: [en] Support Edain Demo 4.0
Beitrag von: Turin Turumbar am 30. Mär 2015, 17:33
Those "labels" show up when your launcher could not yet download any news.
Which files couldn't be uninstalled? And jeah, the uninstaller stays, the uninstaller can't delete itself in the system we are using.

Found the solution. My notebook can't play the game in 720p as 1280*720, i don't know why, but in the other resolution starts...I could play 720p yesterday. I think nothing happened after that. :D

________________________

nothing happened :/ always minimizes it :/
EDIT: I have to wait when it's been minized :D run perfectly, but i don't know why does the games have to minimize it...
REEDIT: nothing...it doesn't work anymore :/

Maybe your monitor does not fit with this resolution since it has lower dimensions in one of those two.

Hi,
I have tried using the option to fix startup but I'm still getting a crash at startup.  Also, I didn't have this problem with 3.8.

I have tried to attach the error message, which I could only screenshot, but you have to rename the file to .jpg instead of .txt.  Any ideas? 

something about expected signed integer value with command points in the gamedata.ini file

Titel: Re: [en] Support Edain Demo 4.0
Beitrag von: iofthesquid am 31. Mär 2015, 01:41

Hello,
I downloaded the edain 4.0 demo, but it says it is missing the options.ini file, Command Point Start error, and also says the MAP MP Bree path is invalid. I uninstalled the demo and reinstalled vs 3.8.1 and now that one won't work either. My buddy and I have the same PC and he was able to download and play with no problem.

Please help...
I'll try and give more info by Friday as I won't have access to the internet until then.

Beitrag von: iofthesquid am 2. Apr 2015, 23:49
Turin, I ended up getting it working!!  I didn't have any submods and still cannot explain why it didn't work in the first place.  Once again I am running on Windows 8, 64-bit. I still don't know what the issue was, but here's what I did:

-Uninstalled and deleted everything.
-reinstalled both bfme2 and rotwk.
-manually added in a few missing files out of the winrar files on my ROTWK DVD because the installer is sketchy as fuck and missed things sometimes.
-updated both games, installed the "lotr update and fix.exe" to make bfme2 run.
-applied the "no CD fix" to Rotwk with daemon tools to avoid the no-cd error (and purple screen errors, etc).
-applied  your old "bfme_startup_fixxer_.exe" to fix the ini error.

AND NOW EVERYTHING WORKS AGAIN  ;)

PS all of those files I mentioned can be found on Google in places like gamecopyworld and moddb.  good luck to anybody with similar problems!!

Hello Edain team, first this is my first post here, so let me thank you for the great gaming experience that playing Edain mod is, you guys are the real mvp :)

I have encountered a problem though, which does not seem to be a bug, I'm not sure what this is actually, but I simply cannot upgrade any building that is not a resource source. Does not matter with which faction, against which one or what map I'm in. I have no option when i click any non-resource building in order to upgrade it like there used to be in RotWk (the 4.0 is the only mod i've played so I don't know how it was in previous versions). This leaves me unable to recruit certain units or purchase some upgrades. Any idea what might be causing this and how to fix it?

Hi Edain Team. Wow Edain 4.0 demo has been simply amazing! This is by far the most addctive and awesome GAME I have ever played. But I have this one issue that frustrates me; Mordor's defensive towers can't get fire arrows. I have tried using the Influence of Sauron but I can't use it on any of the smaller battle towers. Perhaps I need to use it on the larger battle tower that is built on one of the build plots, but will that upgrade ALL my battle towers with fire arrows, or just the bigger ones built inside? I think it's an unfair disadvantage to Mordor if their small battle towers can't receive fire upgrades (I mean Isengard's smaller towers can receive upgrades!). So please if the little ones can't get upgrades would you consider giving it to them? And if they can please instruct me on how to do it. Thanks

Yes,
you have to use Sauron influence on the normal battle tower (larger build plots) and then all battle towers (even small towers) have fire arrows.

i know i've already posted several times, but this is fast becoming a serious problem.

upon attempting to update, the launcher stops working, giving me a vague message: "edainlauncher1.0.0.2.exe has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly." i have ran the compatibility troubleshooting program on the launcher, this has not resolved the issue. i have updated BfME2 and RotWK, thinking that might have been a cause of the issue: i still get the same message. several replies i have received to this problem have just sent me an alternate link to the same launcher file which, once again, stops working.  :-|

i have tried everything i know short of taking yet another day to uninstall and reinstall ALL the programs associated, and nothing has worked. at this rate, the Edain 4.0 mod, no matter how well done, is useless because it cannot be updated beyond the demo version  :(

I have no idea why the setup is crashing on your computer, nur is definitly connected to your computer and your configuration of it. I will send you a file and instructions  for it, with this file you will be updating the launcher manually.

Hi  I'm NEW to the edain mod and i try to install it with the help of a friend, you might slightly know him, names EliteKryptik he is a beta tester.
 He helped me a lot in order to get the game running but we encountered a problem. We  uninstall the games (i have all 3 of them on disc) and also used regedit to clean all files of the games from the registry.
We then reinstalled everything from scratch and downloaded fresh patches etc
bfme 2 patch is on 1.06 and the rotwk is on the 2.01
We try to run it and still the same error. After that we uninstalled it all again and
we installed it without me changing the install directory ( i formerly was installing to my own path) we installed again from scratch did all the patches and switchers and also i install the First BFME and patched it. The patches are still in 1.06 and 2.01 and the First is on the 1.03. We make all the updates for the edain and we ran everything as administrator each time and the game still crashes , we also try using the fix non starting games tool and nothing. Here is the error message.

Well the patch switcher is integrating patches as mods so it wont work with Edain. You need to install only a raw Rise of the Witchking with 2.01 official patch and Edain, nothing else.

I find that strange, because my original install worked fine with 2.02 installed. Maybe something in the update changed this for a fresh install? After I got done helping sodoras out I had a different error come up, and so I had to do a uninstall reinstall, no big deal I figured. But then once I finished, I started getting the same error. I'll try installing without 2.02 and let you know. But my original install had 2.02 installed, so something has changed.

No luck, I just tried installing Edain without 2.02 installed on my system, and I'm still getting the same error. I'm a lot more technically capable than some people, so if you want to tell me anything that's left behind after uninstalling Edain ROTWK and BFME2, including in the registry, I'm willing to do another full uninstall and cleanup for both me and sodoras. I was pretty thorough the first couple of times, but I don't know everything about the registry. If anybody has the time, you can also come onto my computer remotely via teamviewer, and try to figure this out that way.

A third idea would be for you to give me a jury rigged BIG file and I could try just pasting into into our folders, can you make something code-wise which gives that music file higher priority? I don't think either of us are looking to play online with anybody but each-other for now, so this would at least get the game running again if you can do it.

Well, there are propably left overs of 2.02 thats why the game is crashing. Easiest thing is check your Rise of the Witchking folder und see if there are any .big of 2.02. I have no idea how they are called, so you need to find out yourself. But you could also post a screenshot of the folder, because I know which files are Edain and RotWk files so we could sort that out.

Well I'm really doubtful that this is the source of the issue, but here you go anyways. I uninstalled Edain and 2.02, here's the folder afterwards.

First of: Were are you Edain files? Did you uninstall it?
Second: __lobbymusicminimod is propably the cause the crash.
Titel: Re: [en] Support Edain Demo 4.0
Beitrag von: Elite KryPtik am 30. Apr 2015, 23:20
Yeah I had uninstalled Edain as well, I just uninstalled ROTWK and deleted the folder, did a new install from scratch without 2.02 and im now installing edain. Once I get it updated ill try running it and see what happens, ill let you know when its done in a little bit.

EDIT: Damn me for a fool, you're right! That's REALLY weird, especially considering it worked fine for me with 2.02 at first. I'm gonna do some fiddling and try to get it working with 2.02 on my PC, because I only play 2.02 when I do play vanilla ROTWK. Maybe now that we have identified the source of the issue you guys can try and do something to make it compatible? Thanks for the help Turin, I'll get sodoras fixed up next time I talk to him.  :)

EDIT 2: Got it working with 2.02, just had to delete 3 files associated with the lobby music mod that comes with 2.02. And of course you have to disable 2.02 while running the mod.

There removed the triple post, my bad.

Please use the edit function of our forum, there is no need for triple or double posts. ;)

We are not planing to add official support for 2.02 or other fan made patches, we are going to stick with 2.01 since it is the official one.

GAME CRASH:

BFME2 - patch 1.06
WitchKing - patch 2.01

I always encounter this game crash. I have tried reinstalling couple times and still same crash at the exact moment.

While playing skirmish I will receive a game pop up saying "Troops from our fiefdoms have reached the battlefield!" and immediately game crashes with message:

"\game.dat    This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."

I have recently installed your game and I have a couple of questions about it.
First how do I change the German text to English?
Also I have a similar problem to others in that when I try and play a skirmish it crashes however when looking at how you said to solve I was confused as I can't find the options folder.

Hello again guys and sorry to bother you with yet another problem,i've been searching around for a while and i cannot seem to find any specific topic regarding my problem,only people asking the same thing i do,which is this:
Why do i only get an option to play as rohan/gondor/mordor/isengard?all the other races aren't shown to me.
Number 2: I sometimes get crashes for no obvious reasons,or the game gets stuck in the middle of a match...sometimes it works perfectly and sometimes even after like 3 hours into a match i get a crash and it is so frustrating.Please help if you can !
Thanks in advance :D

Edit : I am using the LOTR BFME 2 ROTWK (Special Edition) ,maybe that has something to do with it ?

Number 1:

Because this is a demo. You can't play more factions atm, the missing ones will be in integrated in the future.
The next faction (which will come with the next update) will be the dwarves. :)

Number 2:
It could be that problem, as this version changes some more things ingame and is not the same as an official version. But you can also try to play on lower settings.

I downloaded that version since it has fixed the auto-defeat problem,i assume you recommend lowering the graphics in case the game overloads.I will try that out since my pc isn't one you'd call sufficient :P
Now concerning the factions this kind of confuses me since i've seen other factions...like mirkwood or another elfish one played in older versions like 3.8.1 on youtube .  So im asking this,say i get to download a previous version of the game,should i be able to play those factions??And if so,it should be worth it right?I mean this version is amazing no doubt,but i am so excited about all this new content you guys have added that i cannot wait until i've seen the full content of your work!

I recently downloaded and installed the mod.  When i tried to play the mod instead of the advertised more factions, i have less.  I can only play Isengard, Mordor, Rohan, and Gondor.  No elves, dwarves, goblins, or angmar.  The mod does appear to work for the remaining factions. 

The heroes are also not working right.  I made a custom hero who is of rohan design but rohan cant accept any custom heroes at all. 

I updated the mod twice, but it did not fix.  Do you know how to fix this?

[Edit]  I read that this is just a demo and not the full mod :( .  I hope the full version is released soon as it looks so beautiful.

Is your firewall or Anti Virus blocking the launcher or pinging? To check if the launcher has an internet connection it is pinging our webserver, some bad anti virus programs and firewalls tend to block pinging events, so that the launcher is thinking there is no internet connection. So which Anti-Virus / Firewall are you using?

Please do not make double posts. The recently released intel graphics driver update, installed through Windows update, seems to make something not work correctly in the game anymore. A lot of people who are using an Intel chip as graphic processors have problems in the last few days. So if you have an Intel graphics chip and another one, like in a lot of notebooks, make sure the game is using the correct one and not the Intel one.

Honestly, I have no idea. I have dedicated graphics cards in all of my computers, so I can't test it. Also I am not 100% sure it is related to it, but it seems to be the reason, since a lot of people with Intel chips get it starting in the last few days and Intel released an update as far as I know. As said, simply make sure the dedicated graphics card is used for the game. You can do it in the NVidia settings for Nvidia cards.

Uninstall the complete Game. Reinstall it and make sure that you've installed the actual official Patch before Edain and didnt installed any other modifications.
The unofficial Patch isnt a Patch, its a modification. So Edain cant work with it.

Cracks modify the game and can cause different game versions, which leads to assynchrons.
Therefore the problem is the crack.
Only solution: Don't use cracks.^^

Edain Mod Team,

I am having a peculiar problem that no one else seems to be having at the moment. I have tried numerous fresh installs to no avail. Each time I launch the Edain Mod installer it proceeds to update the Launcher to 1.0.0.3 (or something similar) then I launch the launcher again and proceed to try to update the game. Then it tells me that it cannot locate several of the important game files (such as __edain_data.big, __edain_maps.big, etc) and then says that the install probably won't work but it will try anyways and of course after hours of downloading it doesn't work...

So are my files in the wrong location for some reason? I am really stumped, any help would be appreciated.

Did you move the mod folder after installing it? If not check this I wrote some posts ago:
Seems like your registry strings got messed up.
Open the registry via tying "regedit" into the searchbar of your start menu / search function of windows 8.
Check this key "InstallPath" under this path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Electronic Arts\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king
and check if the install path correct, if not, edit it to the correct path.
Do the same thing for the key "InstallPath" under this path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king
If only one of these exists its not a problem, just make sure this key is correct.

Everything should work then.

Make sure your firewall are anti virus is not blocking the launcher. The launcher is using a ping to check if it is online, if this ping fails it gives you this messaging. So allow pinging and internet access for the launcher and everything should work fine.

I am going to release an update for the launcher within the next few days which also alternates the way it searches for updates so that it is also possible with computers where pinging is blocked, internet access is needed nethertheless.

Okay so I tried making an exception for AVG and I still can't connect to the server to download the 4.1 demo. I know I'm not the only one with this problem so if I can please get some help some possible solutions, that would be great. Because I'm just about ready to give up.

Or alternatively could someone just point me to a download for 4.1 without a server connection?
Titel: Re: [en] Support Edain Demo 4.0
Beitrag von: Turin Turumbar am 15. Aug 2015, 11:21
There is no need to create multiple new threads because of this, so I deleted one and merged the other with the support thread.
AVG is a crappy AV, which blocks everything even if you make exceptions except the creator is making agreements with them. Clearly an AV creator who is all about making money instead of a quality product. So best solution would be to use a lightweight AV from a good developer which is not playing your mommy and forbidding everything you do on your computer, blocking pinging for example is just stupid. The best way to prevent viruses is using your brain.
If you do not want to use a proper AV then you have to wait. I am going to release a launcher update this weekend which has a second way to check if it is online so people with blocked pinging events can also update the mod via the launcher.
A setup download for 4.1 is not available.

I just released the update. Since you wont be able to download it via the launcher itself, you can download the launcher update here:
http://modding-union.com/cf/mods/edain2/mod/dl51.php?URL=http://modding-union.com/updates/edain2/switcher/edainswitcherinstaller.exe
Updating should be possible even with blocked pinging now, even it is still not possible then there is still an AV or firewall blocking the launcher in total, not just pinging.

Install Rotw

I wanted to say that new Updates only works over the launcher. If you haven´t updated about him, I think you play 4.0, the first Version of new Edain generation.

Gundabad comes, but probably it comes at last faction, because it have the greatest differents to the normal Edain gaming and the most new designs and skills.
But there are also many updates by the Team what they do with the factions. Only you have to look in the Edain News. ;)

Hello fellow Edain Mod players. I have for the last couple weeks been unable to play the Edain mod or ROTWK. I keep getting a DirectX error but I do not have SweetFX installed. I have tried the 'Fix Non-Starting Games' option in the launcher with no success. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the mod numerous times and have even installed the base game and ROTWK from scratch and the problem has persisted.

I use Windows 8.1. I tried the game in Windows 10 and in compatibility mode with no success. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I think Win10 does not install old Versions of DirectX automatically, so you have to install DirectX 9 manually.

It should be packed on your BfMe Game Disc, if you can't find it online.

Hello Edain Team ... First of all i wanted to thank you for all the hard work you'v put into this mod .. Its really the greatest mod for BFME 2 so far ..

But I'v got some serious problems from that last patch and adding of Lothlorien.
First one is really well .. game breaking (for me atleast) ... I just cant play rohan anymore .. well i can but .. I will be defeated after a couple of second ... Rohan keep or castle just do not spawn .. I dont know if its just me or anyone else is experiencing this weird bug .. but yeah .. I really love Rohan .. even they are a little bit weaker than for example Mordor or Lothlorien (just my opinion ... they could get a little buff).

And the second one is just my little note for that -20% health and catapult buff ... Well the catapults were giving me much troubles even before this buff and my rohan people were dying really fast under the big ballista bolts of Isengard ... This could use a little nerf in my opinion .. but hey .. your mod ... am just a little one here .. still lovin-it thou.

Soo .. thank you for your time (if you read this of course) .. aand yeah .. thanks for all i quess ...Great work so far

Your devoted fan Kizi  :)

Haha solved that problem now :D Im in the lobby area and cant join a single one. it says that they maybe modified their game. But i think im might unupdated. I have the version 2.01. What do you think the problem is?

Did you also update the mod? Start the launcher and click on Update. Do this again and again until it says that there are no more updates without installing anything. You need to update the mod at least twice - one time for the laucher and one time for the mod. Afterwards it just checks if there is another new update (which most likely is not the case, as you've just updated the game) or if some of your files are damaged, which can happen while downloading them. In both cases the launcher will download the missing/damaged files. :)

Do you mean the version of your ROTWK copy? The one indicated in the Options?

If it is, it's definitely right, then.
The number '2.01' refers to the version to which your vanilla game (ROTWK) is updated (if you have installed the needed and OFFICIAL 2.01 patch of ROTWK).
The Edain Mod (regardless of the version) doesn't change the version of your ROTWK.

If you miss something that has already been released or if you have other similar problems, just update the Edain Mod Launcher as Gnomi wrote.

Remember, though, that it's absolutely fine if your vanilla game (ROTWK) is updated to the 2.01 version  :)

Hi!
First time posting and first time i'm trying a mod for this game.
Cant get it to work though.. I've been at it for hours now and can't get it to work.
When I launch a skrimish, the game crashes. I've unistalled RoTWK and the mod, re-installed RoTWK, patched it through the launcher and then re-installed the mod. I've done this procedure twice but nothing seems to work. I got in to the gameplay ONCE when Gondor was pre-selected in the skirmish menu, but when i exited that game to start a new one, it crashed again, regardless of which fraction i elected.

So I've pretty much tried all the basics, including the steps suggested in the FAQ and other tips I've found in this thread such as updating the launcher... still game crash when I click play. What happens then is that Windows is telling me that the the program suddenly crashed, no mor info :/
Help, please?

Complimentary information: I also get this message about runtime "this application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way" plz conatct application support team".

Im running on oldschool windows 7, I've put all graphic settings on low just to make sure. Currently I'm running the game on my laptop since I travel a lot and this is the computer I most often use, graphic card is shitty GeForce GT620M. I can run the original game at high settings with no lag or probs though.

Btw, I just tried to start war of the ring and that works, I get to the overview map and all. I can also start and fight the battles in real time in the war of the ring-mode. But as soon as I try Skirmish... crash.
Thanks for replying!

Now to your question: Imladris, Misty Mountains and Angmar aren't released yet, meaning only Gondor, Rohan, Isengard, Mordor, Dwarves and Lothlorien are playable right now.

What kind of missions are you trying to run?
Of course you don't have Angmar and Rivendell, this is a DEMO; the latest faction to be released was Lothlórien, and for the other ones you have to wait like everyone else.

This is a Modification of ROTWK (updated to the 2.01 patch); you necessarily need also BFME2 to play the game, since ROTWK is an expansion of the same BFME2.

Who had already Angmar?
There are Beta Testers and Moderators who have already this faction, because they have to test it and give possible suggestions for its improvement.
But, as far as I know, no one can show something on YouTube or other websites until the official release, or with the specific allowance of the Edain Team (as it happens with the YouTuber RuudDevil, for example).

The forum is not messy at all; you just have to get used to it.
It's exactly organised in different sections to help people find answers to their questions.

Regarding that video, I can't speak for the Edain Team, but, if you have used some of their material without their permission, this is definitely something not allowed.
Many other Mods that consisted of 'stolen' material were legitimately shut down on ModDB for the same reason.

Yes, the 2.02 patch is not official and thus is likely to create issues in starting the Edain Mod.

Are you sure that you deleted all the files related to that patch?
Do you have any other Mod/Submod or unofficial patch installed in the ROTWK folder?

Hi edain team ! Hope that work on 4.3 is going well :)

What do you advice me to do when a skirmish is crashing at the very beginning : the game is loading but i can't see the starting base. I have the error : " Windows programm has stopped working"
I think that it is due to my graphics cards (Intel HD Graphics 5500 and AMD Radeon R7 M360 on windows 10).
Hoho96 advised me to put lotrbfme2ep1.exe and game.dat in high power in the  AMD switchable graphics panel.
It works but the game is very very slow (the graphics are in very low) so it's impossible to play multiplayer games.

Any ideas ?

Thanks for your time.

Hi!
Just want to say that somehow, my problems were solved and I'm now able to enjoy playing the mod. Thanks so much Edain team for your fantastic work!
My problem was that when I choose skrirmish and the AI was set as "random" faction, the game crashed when I tried to launch the skirmish.
So if someone is having the same problems as me with, try to appoint a faction to the AI, don't let it be at random.

Salutations

I own legal copy DVDs of “The Battle for Middle Earth, The Battle for Middle Earth II, The Battle for Middle Earth II Collector’s Edition” games and an Origin installator for The Battle for Middle Earth II, Return of Witch King (no optical disc required to play).

I recently had a brand new* OS and Software installation in my computer (after a disappointing Windows 10 experience).

My OS is a 64bit Windows 7 Ultimate version up to date. I am using a licensed DAEMON TOOLS Lite version for ISO / MDS images mounting.

Here is the problem:
When I try to run the games I always get the “please, use the correct CD-ROM, choose accept and start again the application” message. I get this message with ISO images mounted or with the original DVD in the optical tray. Even the RoWK displays the same message, and the installation is made from ORIGIN!

So I have to choose:
1.   I play with a no-DVD patch and, therefore I reject playing multiplayer or the EDAIN MOD
2.   I can’t play but I try to fix the problem.

Of course it is number 2 but after trying the “option.ini” thing, downloading a NO-DVD MDS mini-image and installing the EDAIN MOD 4.3 (you know, for the “maybe it fixes the problem” thought) with no success, I run out of ideas.
I think it must be a DRM or Secure Disc related issue but it’s only to blame Microsoft for something ;-)

So, is there somebody with a challenging spirit who are willing to help?

I understand Spanish, English and some German so feel free to write in any of those languages. Any contribution would be appreciated.

Hi Edain team,

I have a strange error on my laptop. I could play your mod fine up until now, but now I have an issue, which is strange since I did not change anything. After launching the game, the startup process is normal but when I come tot the menu screen, the game crashes. I get a notification that the game has stopped working and the game exits.

Now, on the menuscreen, I can see the menu buttons for a split second but when the background should normally show up, the game exits.

I have already tried the "Fix Non-Starting Games"-button, but all it did was revert my resolution to 800*600 but that did not resolve the issue. I am, however, still able to play the ordinary Rise of the Witch-King game, where this error does not occur.

Would you know what could cause this?

With kind regards and thanks,

Use the forums search. You either updated to windows 10 or updates your Intel graphics chip driver. If you have a dedicated graphics card then make sure this graphic card instead of the Intel one is used. You can do that via the drivers menu. You need to install an roughly two year old windows 8.1 graphics driver if you only have the Intel chip.

Purple textures indicate that some of your files are corrupted for many possible reasons. Uninstalling and reinstalling everything again is generally what they commonly suggest. That kind of issues could also be caused by the usage of an illegal crack or by an interference with another Mod.

Do you have an official (legal) copy of BFME2 and ROTWK? Do you have those two games respectively updated to the 1.06 and the 2.01 versions (the official patches)? Do you have other Mods installed for ROTWK that could create problems?

As already stated in the previous posts, if it's not another Mod that causes those issues, it means that your files are corrupted because they were probably installed incorrectly for some reasons. The fact that your copies are unofficial could be behind these problematics.

Hi everyone,

First thanks for this awesome mod, fantastic work.
Everything works fine with me except one thing : while playing in Skirmish/Epic Battle setup, when my game last more than about 1h15, the command points counter disapear and it gets impossible to me to build any more units.

Is it normal ? Can I fix it ?

I deleted the poll as it was completely unnecessary. If you want to open a new thread, you just have to choose the NEW TOPIC option at the top of the board.

I also merged the thread with this one; your request for support doesn't belong to the Edain Bug Reports section. Anyway, just wait and you will soon receive support here  :)

Since Thorin will be the Ringhero of the Ered Luin in the upcoming patch 4.4, here's a bunch of Mad Thorin's sounds to properly differentiate standard Thorin from his greedy counterpart (furthermore enhanced by the evil power of the Ring), ripped by me

Here is my problem,
when i try to launch the game on my laptop the splash screen loads fine and it plays the edian video fine, than it load on the 4.3.2 image screen for a brief minute and then it will just launch the main menu for a split second and crash to desktop and it dose not give me a crash report. windows just gives me the generic

"the battle for middle earth II has stopped working"
"a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

Also this may help,
i have the legitimate physical copy of the game and the rotwok expansion
rotwok will load all the way to the main menu but will crash as soon as i click any of the buttons except for the Agmar campaign which then prompts me with the difficulty setting and and then will start playing the agmar video but still crash as soon as the videos are over.
BFME II gets stuck on the splash screen.

now the game works on my desktop even though i installed it the same exact way.
both my computers are running windows 10
they both have a GTX 900 series graphics cards.

Please help

Hi, I had to reinstall the game after formatting my laptop but now I'm having a problem with the voices in the game, all of them are in german. This problem seems to be affecting other people as well.

Hi all :).

First of all thanks for this great mod.

I have just installed Edain Launcher and the latest Edain version. I have BfmeII 1.06 and ROTWK 2.01.

The mod starts with no issues and I enter a skirmish game. All the text and voices of units are in english, except for hero voices who still speak in german.

I have tried switching the mod from English to German and back to English.

I tried deleting german patches in ROTWK and deleting __edain_german.big file, but still no luck.

Anyone have an idea?

I am missing english.ini file.
I try to update the mod through the launcher and it states i am missing English.ini file, widescreen file and one other. It then looks for updates and downloads the English.ini file and the two others ( about 700mb download).

I then again check through launcher if I need an update and same things happens again (700mb download).

Any ideas?

Hi guys,

when I use the updater and ends appears this message:

_english_ini.big not found. The update might not work correctly in this case

I'm playing the version 4.4 of the mod,  the launcher is in english but the text in the game and the voices run in german, what I can do?


Sorry for my bad english and ty for help me :(

In my case, this is what it looks like


Any suggestions on how to fix this or why the files are not being downloaded properly?

You provably installed an old version before 4.0. Download the 4.3 setup, install it and update then. It should work fine afterwards.

Hi Edain team,

I would just like to say thank you for creating this wonderful mod for everyone to enjoy. But I have encountered a problem since updating from 4.4 to 4.4.1. The game starts to load however a crash occurs a few seconds later. I can still play the vanilla game.

Hello!
Okay, I have tried to install Edain twice now and it all went totally fine but it still won't work.

Here's what I did:

I installed both BFME 2 and RotWK and updated both (1.06 BFME2 / 2.01 RotWK).

Then downloaded the Edain mod and it's launcher. Installed the mod, then launcher.
All worked fine so far.

Then I updated the mod and launcher through the launcher which again worked fine.

So then I go to press play and the exact same thing happened this time as it did last time. NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. The launcher disappears and a rotating loading sign floats near my mouse for like 5 seconds and then disappears. No game, no nothing. It's as if I never pressed play.

Any ideas what is wrong?
Thanks for any help offered!

Do you have a intel HD graphic? If yes, check this threads out:

Also in the german forum there is someone who has found an intel triver to fix this problem with win 10:
Zitat
Ich habe es mittlerweile geschafft, Edain auf Win 10 mit einer Intel HD 5000 (Surface Pro 3) zu starten.

Don't worry! I figured out what I was doing wrong. Basically the 2.01 patch for RotWK was one the EA link or something to that effect. That one wouldn't match with the RotWK retail game disc. Kind of weird, but it worked so hey-ho.

But, I encountered another problem. It might just be the map I was playing, Dol Amroth or something along those lines. Then whilst loading the skirmish it crashed.

The error script mentioned this:

Direct3D error 0x0x8007000e (E_OUTOFMEMORY)
16 addresses:
(unknown)(0): game.data+239838 (unknown) etc.
then just game has exited bye.

I'm hoping that it isn't a lasting issue and was just a fluke but thought I'd ask around.

Kind of weird, but the first problem was soon fixed so I have faith we can figure out this one. It may have been explained before which I'm sorry for if that is the case.
Any help would be awesome.

Not entirely sure how, but my launcher isn't allowing me to switch back to Rotwk 2.01.  I get this "Oops, something went wrong..." message telling me to report here with my event log.  However, it also won't allow me to add my event log here because it apparently not a .txt document.

Not sure what to do, so any help would be appreciated :)

Hi all !

I've been playing Edain 4.4.1 since July (late comer, I know), and apart from a few CTDs now and then, it was running smoothly.

But recently, I have two major separate issues :
 - whenever I play with the Lothlorien faction, I can play for several minutes (around 40 give or take ?), and then the game crashes ("BFME has stopped working, etc...") ; this only happens with Lothlorien ;
 - when I try to play with Rohan or Arnor on a map I already played on before (hours or months before), I get an instant victory after a few seconds of game (not enough to actually do anything in-game) ;

On the other hand, I have no issues with the Gondor faction whatsoever (as of yet anyways). I haven't tried Mordor, Isengard or Angmar in a few weeks (too much work).

Anybody know what I should do ? Thanks !

My younger brother and I are having an error where the game constantly loses synchronization during multiplayer in Edain 4.4.1. I have even copied the files over from my computer to his so that everything in our folders are identical yet the error persists.

We have spent over 12 hours reinstalling and troubleshooting the issue and cannot find the root of the problem. This does not happen in normal RotWK so it has to be related to the mod. It is rather aggravating because we really want to play the mod but we get a sync error 5 minutes in and goes back to the menu.

Hello,

First let me say I love this mod. I am however running into a small amount of problems. I recently got a new gaming Computer. I reinstalled the Base Game. than install the mod. I used the "fix non-starting game", and the mod works.

Problem 1: On the main menu as I have the "shellmap set to random, it is just a black screen with the music for one of the Shellmaps at random.

Problem 2: All of the Skirmish maps are pink both on the skirmish section preview and in the actually map. I am not sure why.

Problem 3: When I disable the mod and try to play them game the start up screens that appear after double clicking the base game short cut appear and the base game still does not load up.

I hope someone can help me because I am able to play the First BFME. I have not tried the second yet, but I will update this post once I see if that one works.

Update 04/30//2021 5:43 PM Pacific Time: Battle for middle earth 2 does work.

Use the launcher to look for updates. It may find old files and replace them with correct ones.

Did you patch your base game and make sure to not have any other mods installed before installing Edain? This includes fan patches like 1.09 (BfME II) or 2.02 (RotWK).
