Anfang M�rz schickte euch Electronic Arts in die "Schlacht um Mittelerde - Teil 2". Und wie es sich f�r ein ordentliches Strategiespiel geh�rt, folgt p�nktlich zu Weihnachten das Add-On,
in dem ihr den "Aufstieg des Hexenk�nigs" miterleben d�rft. Was es mit dem Oberhexer auf sich hat und ob die angekreideten Schwachstellen des Hauptprogramms ausgemerzt wurden oder nicht, kl�rt der Test. 5:40 Min. Neue Einheiten Loading 2:42 Min. Thrall Master Hallo zusammen! Ich habe folgendes Problem: Ich wollte heute mal wieder Schlacht um Mittelerde installieren und da bekam ich die Meldung, dass der Datenträger beschädigt sei oder der Autostart erschien erst gar nicht. Nun wollte ich fragen, ob jemand vielleicht eine Seite kennt, wo es die ISO bzw. die Daten zum Download gibt. Ich habe einen Key, es
geht lediglich um die Setup-Dateien, da meine CD kaputt ist. Danke schon mal!
Der Download würde aber bereits eine Urheberrechtsverletzung darstellen!
Ist zwar 3 Jahre her, aber du kannst die ISO im Internet ohne Bedenken runterladen, SOLANGE du nachweisen kannst das du das Spiel besitzt.
Was möchtest Du wissen?#1Mathijs

Posted 10 April 2016 - 01:54 PM Hello everyone, By now we reach the time when our good old original disks reach their date of expiry and are expected to show serious physical failure. We decided to provide you an alternative way to continue playing! Below you'll find a step-by-step installation guide for each game. Big thanks to GameReplays for hosting the downloads! Battle for Middle-earth If you have the original BfME disk then please skip to step 3 and use your legitimate cd key.
Battle for Middle-earth II If you have the original BfME 2 disk then please skip to step 3 and use your legitimate cd key.
The Rise of the Witch King If you have the original RotWK disk then please skip to step 3 and use your legitimate cd key. RotWK needs BfME 2 version 1.06 installed. Use the BfME 2 Patch 1.09 Switcher to change to version 1.06.

Posted 10 April 2016 - 06:54 PM Alternately, instead of using the (bugged) Daemon Tools, you can use Alcohol 52% or 120%, which I'd strongly recommend.

It's free if you have a valid key and it works without a disc (or image) and also without the Origin Client running. All you need is to download through Origin and then authenticate at first start with your Origin account details. Attached ThumbnailsEdited by ltsheppard, 28 April 2016 - 06:32 PM. #11 MathijsMathijs

Posted 28 April 2016 - 07:26 PM Sources conflict on whether you still get it. All that's left are the EA Store/Origin-specific patches for RotWK and this abomination of a page that replaced all references to anything BFME on EA.com. http://www.ea.com/lo...-middle-earth-2 I wonder how they pulled RotWK off on EA Store when vanilla BFME2 wasn't there #15 KwenKwen

Posted 28 April 2016 - 08:59 PM I have RotWK on Origin. I never install it there because it is pointless when you can just get it from here, no? https://www.twitch.tv/vileartist- Yes shameless self-promotion ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Old modders never die, they just fade away" ~ Hostile #16 ltsheppardPosted 29 April 2016 - 10:16 AM
You have to contact Origin support and give them your CD-Key. They will then add it to your library. The problem is you still need to install BFME2 from disc. I've been asking them about the basegame too but it seems there never was an Origin version of that. However, if more people would ask about it maybe they'd consider making one. I've already told them that people would be interested, maybe even for a small price. I think the reason for not showing it on Origin anymore is that, as far as I know, EA doesn't have the LotR rights anymore. However they still seem to be allowed to distribute RotWK (or else you couldn't have it in your library) in a digital format. And since WB apparently has no plans for selling BFME maybe EA can rework the series for Origin. For my part, I'd love to be able to install and play without disc or images.
Well, you don't have to do the hassle of downloading a DVD image and mounting it every time you play. Also (although I'm no stickler for that) it's legal, whereas the other options are not. Edited by ltsheppard, 29 April 2016 - 10:26 AM. #17 Plokite_WolfPlokite_Wolf

They aren't allowed to distribute it. This is just residual.
That's not how licensing works. #18 ltsheppardPosted 30 April 2016 - 01:58 PM
You think EA had another licencse for publishing/distributing RotWK on Origin? I don't think so. It certainly applied to all the games, in every form (disc-based and digital). The problem is, while EA might be allowed to upload BFME2 to Origin, they wouldn't be allowed to charge for it without striking a deal with WB. For us players that's a real shame because the only game needing a disc/image now is BFME2. #19 Plokite_WolfPlokite_Wolf

Posted 01 May 2016 - 09:24 AM No no, I'm pretty sure this form of distribution breaks the licensing contract as well. It's convenient for those who have the key, but I'm pretty sure they're not supposed to do that. Activision refused all forms of sending replacement discs for their Star Trek games by 2008, and they were the ones who made the best use of the license between 2000 and 2003. You can't get any of them outside eBay/Amazon/torrents. #20 KwenKwen

I understand this, but the goal in what we are doing is to allow users to not need the CDs anyways, as we have done for BFME1. And as far as legality goes, I guarantee you that nobody cares about someone "illegally" acquiring a BFME game as they are so old now that they're considered abandonware.
