(And yes I ensured it was saved as ini and not as a text document) Have created an 'options.ini' folder with values under the app roaming as that is a common fix. Tried launching via both the desktop icon and the folder. The game installs no worries however when I go to start it via the desktop it comes up saying there is no disc installed. I have gone to install it on my laptop which is almost brand new running windows 10.
I have purchased the disc version of the lord of the rings the battle for middle earth 2 collectors edition (lotrbfme2).
