Checking for updates on the 2.1.3 client shows it's up to date I had him skip/ignore the update on the 1.5.0 client version, as I did without issues, after having obtained the. I tried having him use the 2.1.3 client, and trying to launch BFME hooked and unhooked, to no avail. exe's from the \The Battle for Middle-earth \ directory. The 1.5.0 version of the client opens for him, but clicking "Launch BFME" gives that "run from install directory" error as does running both. exe files to run in compatibility mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 2). I think I tried to make sure that he had those files run as administrator, which he claims/believes is what caused some of the breaks, potentially, though I'd read elsewhere it could've been a fix, albeit not really fixing anything in my experience, but neither damaging anything, too. But, I had him try launching the lotrbfme.exe file, the lotrbfme_.exe file. Granted, he's now closed Windows File Explorer- maybe the save point will crop up in a bit. I made him ensure that in Windows File Explorer, under the "View" component of File Explorer's UI, the "Hidden Items" box was ticked, to ensure all files could be seen, and had him do this with \Program Files (x86)\ selected (under Program File's properties, "Hidden" wasn't ticked, so I assume for all of the subfolders/contents inside Program Files, nothing else would've been hidden. I don't know if it needed a moment, if there was an issue with his file history/if his computer didn't automatically create a file save point like mine inexplicably did, or if there was a way to refresh the list that was overlooked. However, my buddy ran into the same "run from install directory" issue, and when I walked him through it, there was no previous version. Immediately afterwards, my issue was fixed. When we selected to update to client version 2.1.3, it seemed to break the launching of the game, causing the "You must run the game from its install directory" error to pop up, in place of a successful launch.Īfter browsing the internet, I found my solution was restoring the previous versions of \EA GAMES\ or \The Battle for Middle-earth \ (they appeared for me the Restore button was greyed out, but the Open button worked, and I was thusly able to copy the folder, and paste it to replace the current folder containing the version of the game's. We had the T3A client version 1.5, and the game generally launched fine. My buddy and I both ran into an issue with BFME1.
