Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth Message Board  

Every time i play either a campaign or a skirmish, within 5 minutes of me beginning to play, my whole army will self destruct and i will lose the battle or it will be game over. There wont even be enemies close to me and i can't find anywhere that suggests anybody else has this issue. Is there something i am doing wrong that makes this happen? It would be a big help if someone could tell me what is going on because this is severely affecting my enjoyment of this game because there is no point in bothering if i just self destruct without doing anything wrong.

I look forward to a response

That usually happens when you're trying to cheat in multiplayer.

ok mate, i also have the same problem. i am not cheating, not in multiplayer mode, just starting the campaign within 5 mins ....bang they all drop dead.....have you solved the problem....if so please let me know.thank you

update to yesterday's post. Solved the problem. . Uninstall game, re-install ....do not start game...but install update patches 1.01,1.02,1.03...and play...

if using cd copies of your original discs you will have to apply a no-cd crack first before playing.

That happens always cause of pirated games.
Is your game pirated?
if it is it will keep on killing all your units.
The same goes for the rest of the BFME games

Guess this is EA's method of protection eh? Heh, seems someone over theres' got a sense of humour.

Actually this also seems to happen when you mess with the game folder.And it's not 5 mins it's only 15-20 secs

I think it's because of you haven't entered the right CD Key in. EA usually put in a funny little way into their games if you haven't put in the right CD key.Sounds like your problem's solved.
