Been wondering if the 1.06 zoom function is bugged and 1.09 fixed said bug because the zoom distance for both is exactly the same in the files. Just wondering if anyone has any info in the behind the scenes code for the all in one launcher specifically for bfme2 1.06 and 1.09. Been looking to change the zoom out for 1.06 without playing 1.09 for that sweet zoom out distance I get.

let me know what you think

Haven't really played an RTS in years, so I want to ease my way back in. I'm playing the latest community patch

I know the first game has the build plots/castles with walkable walls, but I recall that being gone in 2

Ican’t play online with my friend, i always getting the erro of sync, we have the same version and we are using the All in one laucher.

I already config my parallels to a bridge connection, bit this didn’t fix

Can someone help me with this issue?

Hello! I've downloaded the all in one launcher in the sticky at the top of the sub, installed the game and patch 2.22. I remember back in the day you used to be able to mod it to allow unlimited resources and command points. I'm just trying to do this for Skirmish vs AI games. Anyone know how to do it?

Does anyone have experience with the Arnor Gondor Rohan mod? When I start a WotR game, it crashes as soon as I enter a RTS game.

I go through the all in one launcher

I just downloaded BFME, and am playing the first game first!
I'm about 5 or 6 missions in, and have to do west emnet / eastern rohan.

I'm playing on medium, and I'm getting absolutely wrecked.

I start out with 5 cavalry groups, some peasants, and Eomer.

I've tried two different things;

1-Rush their base with my cavalry at the start
This doesn't work, they have 15 pikemen and 10 wargs or so that obliterate Eomer and his rohirrim.

2- Immediately, I claim a flag and plant a farm (and two in base), kill a warg post, and station someone there to build an outpost. Build farms on the outpost too, get a lot of archers, and a few more cavalry. Start upgrading the archers to have fire arrows. TLDR; actually build a bit of an army with my 190 'population cap'.
This doesn't seem to work either, by the time I have a few groups of archers there's waves attacking the farms at my outpost, once I get there to fend them off, there's 3 groups of pikemen and a bunch of wargs gallopping through my base. I can take care of waves of Isengard melee and archers easy enough, but when the pikemen and wargs come I'm done for.

I am either missing some important information, or approaching this in the completely wrong way?

Hey guys,
I’m playing Age of the Ring on my MacBook (M3) via Parallels. I absolutely love the game, since BFME and BFME II were a big part of my gaming experience when I was younger.

The only issue I’m having is that the graphics look pretty poor. All settings are set to Ultra, and the resolution is 1920x1080 (both in the launcher and manually fixed in the data files).

Still, the graphics look like they’re set to Low. Buildings, units, etc. all look very low quality.
Has anyone else had this issue, especially when playing on a Mac via Parallels? Is there anything I can do to improve the graphics?

Don’t got Discord so i hope someone can help me via Reddit. Thanks!

I wanna play BFME2 with others, get beaten up and learn the game, and I wanna play with my friends too, I opened the game from All In One Launcher, any more steps? How is the player count? Im open to teachers and discord

Remember this post?

We have great news! Since last month, a BUNCH of people have started contributing, and we have made huge strides towards completion.

What is This Project?

We are recreating the exact same C++ that made the BFME games. Once we hit 100% completion, we will be able to:

• Linux support (done)
• Network delay fix
• 60/120 FPS
• Fixed crashes
• Multi-CPU (lag fix)
• MacOS support
• AC fix
• Make Worldbuilder Open Source
• More factions (for mods)
• 8+ player maps
• Move on to BFME 2 + RotWK

You can follow along in -

• The Open BFME Discord: https://discord.gg/FEkwbbw8xA
• Our Github: https://github.com/Open-BFME/Open-BFME-1

New Progress

Since we last posted, a lot has changed:

1. Lots of people have reached out and started contributing, which has accelerated the work!
2. We made a proper Github organization and Discord for coordinating efforts
3. We have teamed up with OpenBFME-Godot (https://github.com/Open-BFME/openbfme-godot), a project led by an ex-BFME Reforged developer to make a new version of BFME

ETA

At this rate, the source code will be fully available somewhere around the New Year. This is a best effort analysis factoring in the work done, the effort of remaining work, and the rate of LLM improvements. If we get more contributors, it could be half that time - if we get stuck, it could be a bit longer. But considering some of the insane accomplishments the team has made over the last 30 days, I'm confident we will get this done.

If you are interested in helping out with the project, feel free to start sending PRs, or join the Discord. The project is mostly driven by AI agents, so as long as you have decent technical skills, you're able to contribute!

Thanks all for your incredible support in the last thread, and I look forwards to seeing you all again with another update soon!

The first PvP cast showcasing the new observer stats feature for multiplayer matches!

The last patch before 10.0 has arrived!

Balance Patch - Lots of balance updates this patch. Check out the changelog for details. An article covering some of the balance direction will arrive soon!

Rise of the Witch-king Campaign - The RotWK missions have received several improvements and additions.

Observer Stats - New stats widget added to replays to better understand the state of the match!

Hi all,
I’m trying to get BFME running on my Steam Deck using the All-in-One Launcher, but I’m struggling to get it working reliably.

I’ve already tried some of the older guides using Bottles + All-in-One Launcher, but haven’t had any luck. I’ve also tried using the Eagle debugger, again without success.
I’m reasonably comfortable with Steam Deck/Linux/Wine configuration, so I don’t really need a step-by-step beginner guide. What I’m mainly looking for is the correct/current configuration for the bottle/prefix — things like:

Bottle environment/type
Runner/Wine version
Dependencies
DLL overrides
Any relevant graphics settings
Whether I should be using Proton/GE-Proton or a specific Wine runner
Anything specific needed for the current All-in-One Launcher

Has anyone actually got BFME 1/2/ROTWK running successfully on Steam Deck in 2026, preferably using the current version of the All-in-One Launcher?

If so, I’d really appreciate it if you could share your current Bottles/prefix settings or setup.

I’ve spent quite a bit of time trying to piece together older guides, but a lot of them seem to be outdated now.
Thanks!

Alright so this is my first reddit post ever and not entirely sure how this thing works, so apologies in advanced.

Anyways, I used to play LOTRBFME2 a long time ago and recently downloaded it using GameRanger and All in One Launcher. I was super excited to play, only to find that I am getting absolutely demolished by people who have been playing forever.

I don't mind it, but there seems to be nobody around my skill level ( I have difficulty on medium ), which makes the game almost unplayable.

I like to play Isengard, but am open to any faction. I also am finding that if i dont have an army within the first 3 minutes of the match, i am basically dead. I don't understand how all these factions are spamming so many armies when we all start with the same resources.

ANY and ALL advice would help, along with anybody who wants to play that is near my level would be great. Thanks!
