Age of the Ring 8.3.1 has been released. PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!
Hello!
Patch 8.3.1 is here!
For a full list of changes, please refer to the CHANGELIST.
HOW TO INSTALL
First, make sure you have AotR version 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, or 8.3 is installed. This is NOT a standalone version.
1. WE REPEAT: THIS IS A NOT A FULL VERSION. You must have AotR version 8.0 (or 8.1/8.2/8.3) installed before installing this patch.
2. Download and unzip all contents of AgeOfTheRingUpdater8.3.1.zip into a folder
3. Run AgeOfTheRingUpdater8.3.1.exe as Administrator
4. The installer creates a shortcut to Age of the Ring 8.3 on your desktop - note: you can delete the Version 8.0/8.1/8.2 shortcut as it will point to 8.3 after installing the patch
LAUNCHER FIXES
Starting from Version 8.3, the previously released AotR Options tool has now become a simple Launcher, launching from your 8.3 shortcut upon launch. This patch addresses several issues that were reported in the 8.3 Launcher.
PLAYING ONLINE
For using T3A:Online, nothing has changed - just make sure RotWK is hooked from the T3A:Online Launcher.
For using Gameranger, please read the following article:

Do we need this 8.3.1 if we had no troubles with the launcher? It's the same size as 8.3. Does it just pick and choose what to replace on the patch we got just last week?
Yes, as it contains a few more fixes.
Alrighty! Thanks Mathijs! I want you to know there are plenty of people out there like myself that do not take what you guys do for granted with projects like these. Keep up the great work! :)
Thank you Mathijizz
THANK YOU AGE OF THE RING TEAM ...Working great ...
Hello! I installed it from the launcher with the bfme 2 1.06 patch, then I installed rowtk 2.01, it works great, but then I downloaded the 2.02 v9.0.0 switcher and after installing it, when I start the game, it says "base game file not found, application will exit" what could be wrong? What do I do wrong ? I followed the instructions step by step
base game is bfme2

Hello
Does it have Return Of The King Campaign?
Hello, I'm encountering an issue with the MOD AOR. The problem is that when I enter the game menu, the in-game cursor doesn't align with the menu, preventing me from accessing the Gameplay mode. I can only navigate through the menu, and the game seems to freeze, eventually closing on its own. This issue started occurring since Patch 8.0.
Is there a way to fix this issue through a description, a tutorial, or a video clip, or do I need to download any additional patches for a solution?
thank you!
Добрый день, есть проблема с сохранениями в режиме Сражение, играю за Мордор, все сохранения работают, но как только покупаю Саурона и сохраняюсь ним, сохранения больше не работают, неоднократно проверенно, если у меня есть Саурон, эти сохранения больше не загружаются и выбивают ошибку. Спасибо заранее!
Good afternoon, there is a problem with saves in the Battle mode, I play for Mordor, all the saves work, but as soon as I buy Sauron and save with him, the saves no longer work, I have checked it several times, if I have Sauron, these saves no longer load and throw an error . Thanks in advance!
I have some problem.. Can someone know what is it?

I'm having trouble with the Adventure Map Generator. When I try to generate a map, it says "Could not find map name in mapcache.ini. Your custom map may not have a good name or description". What's wrong?
Also, where can I find the models the Two Blue Wizards (Alatar and Pallando)? Tried finding them in aotr\data\ini\object\goodfaction\units, but cannot find them.

Hello
everytime i lauch the mod the screen is tainted purple and the game crashes when loading a skirmish. can i have some help please
I have the same problem! Is there somone who knows to fix it?
You guys are amazing. Your team has brought me lots of nostalgia and joy. Thank you so so so much for creating/supporting this with such dedication and care. I wish i had the money to support you guys. I hope someone thinks of a way to support all the dedicated devs of this world that spend their time and talent on such wonderful projects so many enjoy. This is the only RTS I bother to play. I have played many others however since I was a kid the LOTR rts games set the tone for what i enjoyed in them. I pray that this mod reaches the point of what the devs/community desire. thank you again

Why is it that after installing the patch, the game shortcuts are removed and only aotRoptions remains? I tried to download everything again, on different disks, nothing.
The Options tool works as a launcher. You can start AotR from there
I like it.
I would like Ukrainian localization))
An exceptional job, the only thing I see that can be improved is that when playing the war of the ring, the same powers emerge for the good factions, since each faction should have their own powers. When playing with the dwarves in war of the ring it only lets me take Dain's dwarves, when in quick battle it gives you the option of taking Thorim's company. I think that should be corrected and you should be given the option to choose between some heroes or others. It's not a criticism, it's just things that I think should be changed. For everything else, it is an exquisite work and very similar to the movies and books.
I love it.
Hi there, really glad you like the mod! To address your points: RTS battles in WotR mode have been streamlined so that every faction's spellbook is equivalent depending on whether they're good or evil - this is intentional but there are subtle differences between factions, i.e. the units summoned by their 15PP and 25PP spells.
We're a lot more limited with what they can do in WotR and cannot allow Erebor to choose between reigns, we therefore had to decide which reign is used and decided on Reign of Ironfoot.

Hello, could you recommend how to have a smooth performance without lag? I mean the age of the ring mod and generally old games sometimes lag with new laptops/PCs. Could you suggest any ways to fix the lag and improve the performance, thank you in advance.
Good afternoon, can someone know what is it?

You probably have to start Rise of the Witch-king and create a player profile in the single player section
