Age of the Ring GameRanger Patch
PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION! INSTUCTIONS TEXT FILE IN ZIP IS OUTDATED. This ZIP file contains what you will need in order to get AoTR working with GameRanger.
Thanks to Brabox, the original author, for making this tool and allowing us to use it!
1. Extract the new lotrbfme2ep1.exe file into the AOTR4.0 folder
2. Launch GameRanger
3. Go to Edit - Options - ROTWK - Browse... - navigate to your new .exe file
4. Before launching the game, unhook ROTWK from T3A if you use it. The T3A launcher conflicts with the one from GameRanger.
5. When you launch as host for the first time a new window will appear. Set the settings to the following:
Game Executable: navigate to the location of your vanilla ROTWK lotrbfme2ep1.exe (default location is in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king\lotrbfme2ep1.exe")
Extra flags: -mod "C:\Program Files (x86)\AOTR4.0\aotr" - This is if you installed AOTR to the default installer path. If it is located elsewhere, the easiest way of finding the right path is to go to your shortcut and copying the -mod command.
6. Go to Network and play
If the game doesn't launch, run the start up fixer provided here: Moddb.com
And then use the 2.02 launcher to change your resolution back.
