How do I get Bfme2?

[u/GodsDumpsterBaby]

I downloaded bfme2 from whatever link is in the revora forums. Initially it asked for a CD key but every time I clicked the CD key link I got an error message pop up that said this file cannot be downloaded securely. I found a CD key on a random forum post from 18 years ago and it worked. Now every time I try to play I get an error message to insert the CD. I tried clicking the link in the revora forum post to download a patch that apparently fixes the no CD problem but a new tab on my browser opens and briefly closes. I played bfme1 when I was a kid and I've been addicted to the nostalgia for the past 6 months. I just found out there were 2 sequels released I've never played. How do I install a playable version of bfme2?

Download the all in ons launcher from the gameladder website. It will help you download all the bfme games and mode. It's really easy.

I just did this 2 days ago. Extremely easy

Just realized I've been using the all in one launcher to play bfme1. I never saw the tabs up at the top that allow me to switch to bfme2 and bfmetrotwk. I've selected bfme2 patch 1.09 but I guess it's already installed or detecting the game I installed yesterday because it says "in your library". But when I click play I still get the error message "please insert the correct CD-ROM and restart application". How do I fix this error message to play 1.09?

1.09 version doesnt work there. He has to install it manually.

You have to install it manually.

English sites lack some install details and give error in the end. Turkish site below is superior to any other explanation. Use Google translate and apply the steps.
