  3. I got the game to work perfectly yesterday First do not from this site As mentioned it is not the full game and has a trojan malware.. Go out to the

    Revora Forumsand find the game there. Go to the section. At the bottom of the patches is a sentence that if you are missing the original discs click here. Click on the here that is underlined it will take you to a link with a 4.0 gig ISO file. Be warned the first link has a trojan malware in it. Use the backup link under it which is clean. that file. Mount the iso using Daemon tools.. Run setup and install. Then go out to youtube and look for the battle for middle earth cd key. There is a 17 second video where the guy shares his cd key. when prompted to choose later and use the cd key. Last step go back to the Revora Forums and the `1.06 all in one patch. Then , unzip and run it. This patches the game from 1.0 to `1.03 then 1.05 and finally 1.06. It also has the no cd crack in it so the game does not need a cd to play. Only problem I had is the iso file only works 1 time and then the data deletes itself so dont ever uninstall it. But everything works great. Dont comment or ask me questions. I only check this site every year or so and wont be coming back to this game since I know how to get it no. Enjoy!!

    • saw you wrote this 7 months ago, not sure if you found out already, but you can change it in the options.ini file, which is hidden in the Roaming folder on your pc. Just write %appdata% into the searchbar and you should be able to enter the hidden files. Unless you’ve marked them as not hidden.
