LOTR : Battle for Middle Earth 1.01 NOCD
 

Alot of people have been waiting for various people to create a patched game.dat for the 1.01 release of BFME. I found a way around it.

1) You must have the original game.dat, no hacks, cheats, or previous patches
2) You must install the official 1.01 patch (google for it or get it in game via entering the multiplayer section)
3) The very last option listed on gamecopyworld is a small 5MB MDF/MDS CD image. Mount this image with Daemon Tools 3.46 or higher.

If you mount that image with Daemon Tools (NO ALCOHOL!) you can load the game 1.0, 1.01, or otherwise.

Cheers.

There's no need to post this. Everyone can read the same instructions on GameCopyWorld, when they download the mini-image.
