Dear Sirs,
I clicked the INSTALLER of your mod, and after I clicked the INSTALLER
something pop up in my pc and it says the archive was corrupted I don't
know what to do.Can you help me up Sirs.
Sincerly yours,
Ray Thompson
have you tried redownloading the installer? It's a strange bug with these servers I believe. Let me know what happens after you redownloaded it :)

Somethings wrong about the spgame.dat my game crashes after... i don't know 5 mins, can you sir help me your help may aid me in my game.
Crash? or does your base die? If you get defeated, download the fixer exe, it should solve the problem for you :)

hey how can you reply when you don't know what he commented?
Hi there!
First of all I want to say thank you for this mod! It is nice to see that I am not the only one left playing this game :D
Now, I have a problem playing the Elves. The menu in the baracks is not working correctly. I*ve made a screenshot:
S1.directupload.net
Is there any solution?
Thank you!
PS: I am playing the v2.00 Alpha Mod and the fix is installed (previously it crashed after 3 minutes).

help me sir my game just crashed after a few minute,Runtime error
spgame.dat file is not merging with something...
P.S RC MOD FIX INSTALLED!
Help me sirs your help is the only answer.
The guest advice did not work!
Hm... Due to those crashes we are rewriting the mod... Sorry but as far as I know there is no fix for it....
Nah i guess is okay,take your time guys for fixing the mod!
Hello,
Thank you for the Mod.
I just downloaded the RCMod v2.0 Alpha.
I only play Single Player mode,
Is the only option is "Skirmish"?
There are 3 "Solo Plays" but they are not working (nothing happened when I click on any of the 3).
Am I missing any step ??
Sorry Skirmish is the only one, Solo Play was because at the time of release I was not aware that we were able to remove the buttons, so I merely removed the functionality of the ones that used to be there (such as war of the ring because it does not work)
When i start launcher,game can't run.
Please help,thanks.
Do you get the splash-screen or not when pressing the singleplayer/multiplayer button :P
I am having an error, every time I try to run the .exe, I get the message 'Archive is corrupted", any idea what the problem may be?
Redownload the mod?
someting i've wanted to do, would be really cool, is use war of the ring mode, with all the generals being characters i've created against the other factions. i'd have a race or something but all the heroes
Sadly we can't make that happen :P EA hardcoded that kind of stuff :P
Does it work on the unofficial patch for BFME2, version 1.08?
This is a rather important question, and I'm surprised the information isn't posted here. Are people actually playing in the year 2013 without widescreen capability, or via manual ini edits that result in crunched up little screens zoomed way way way too far in?
Or should I assume it works with 1.08? I don't think I could play the game without the patch - my screen is just too large to go backwards 10 years. I hope the mod supports it.
Well yes it works with any patch i suppose, but the tweaks and such are most likely not there, also I don't think we have widescreen in the mod, we may need to make that for the next release :P
sometimes when i start the mod i dont get ful screen. but instead i get half black screen. when this happens i need to remove the mod and instal it back again
Thats a very odd bug... I don't recall having this myself, so sorry not exactly sure what to do :(
i have a lil problem with the download where its telling me tht i need some frame work thing to download any help
That might be microsoft dot net framework or something like that, make sure you have updated windows fully, if i'm not mistaken it includes that :P
I downloaded this but when I try to run it it says something about its archive being corrupted. What exactly does that mean and how can I fix it?
Try redownloading it, that usually helps :)
Yeah Im about to i really want it to work you guys have made some great stuff here
Can we get the rest of the maps back? That is all this mod needs to be perfect You guu\ys did a fantastic job but it really needs the other maps. Thanks!
Not with this release no, simply because the way it was created it was very likely to crash, so we didn't take the time to make more maps compatible with it. But in the next release we will try to add more maps.
how do i change my profile picture C:
Hello ive just downloaded the V2.00 alpha and it works fine but the main menu is pink plus cah is pink or black which stops me from seeing the hero also i get the same blackness when playing a skirmish game so i cant see my base i understand its a alpha but maybe theres a issue with it pr i done something wrong?
Odd... this should not be happening, try re-installing it...
Is their anyway you can get the elves and men of the east to work on bfme 1 mode? Also i noticed you did the rohan powers and they are incredible just was curious if you planned on doing that with the other factions? Will rohan heroes be improved ever right now they are pretty weak but the characters themselves are badass. Lastly did you plan on adding a few things to the create a hero it looks like you were headed in a really cool direction. Thanks for the mod really love it great job so far.
how to play with bfme 2 style
my game crashes after 5 mins or 3 mins idk pls helppp

Hi, i have recently repurchased LOTR:BFME2 collectors edition. I really want to try out your MOD but i cant seem to get it to run on my laptop. whenever i press run, the dialog box just disappears and doesn't do anything. Can you help me as i really want to play as Men of the East.
Have you tried running the Fix exe we put in the downloads section? :)
Can we get a Rohan only mod? :)
