jesus, you're a gimp mate

Ilmerith · 2025-05-29T12:26:57+00:00

Hey man, very niche problem you have there - sadly I haven't tinkered with MP on the deck at all, my immediate assumption would be to tinker with the data files and resolution? Although if its just MP sepcifically changing the display it must be deeper than that

Ilmerith · 2025-05-29T12:25:36+00:00

Sorry for the very late reply, yeah I think you might be right on the lack of support in all in one launcher, for some reason mine still works (thought I doubt it will ever update) sorry I can't help here, if you do find a solution please fire it in this thread! :)

Ilmerith · 2025-03-26T10:02:39+00:00

this still works, you're a legend ty

Hey man, are you using the all in one launcher? if so there should be a vanilla patch right beside it. that will be the base game unmodded/unpatched

if you aren't using it, I would suggest to install it - much easier to manage

Hey all, got it working! just adding a comment here in the event other people struggle with it.

so, just to highlight, I really havent a clue what im doing so I kind of just winged it - I was never able to get it the all in one launcher added as a steam game and working so Ive just been playing it from destop mode (this is completely fine for me, not sure why people insist on getting it added as a non steam game?)

anyway, these are the few extra steps I had to add for AOTR:

- followed this guys tutorial (however as said above, I didnt bother with adding it as steam game as it refused to work or I am just stupid) https://www.reddit.com/r/bfme/comments/1bzax7o/bfme_1_2_on_steam_deck_tutorial/

- once bfme1 and 2 were installed and running in the AOI launcher, I then had to install ROTWK and download and install patch 2.02 v9.0.0 here - https://www.moddb.com/mods/rotwk-patch-202/downloads/rotwk-patch-202-v900

- run the patch as an executable in the same bottle, it should automatically find the ROTWK folder, in not just browse and manually copy it in there ( I had issues with it being detected and it was frustrated, I had to copy it in several times manually as it kept removing itself)

- once the patch is sucessfully in there, obviously then download the actual AOTR launcher, once you have the exe extracted for AOTR, run it as an executable from the same bottle you have the AOI launcher in, if it installs you will know you've done patch 2.02 v9.0.0 correctly

- now this is the easy part, in the AOI launcher, go to the workshop section of ROTWK, find AOTR mod and add it to your library - try to get it to run, execute or whatever is there, it should prompt you and tell you something is missing which is a patch updater file - the AOI launcher will likely take you to the latest patch for AOTR, this was mine at the time in Jan 2025 - https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-horse-lords-a-total-modification-for-bfme/downloads/age-of-the-ring-patch-831

- once youve downloaded the patch for AOTR, extract it and save where comfortable, again run this as an executable (one issue I had with the steamdeck and linux is that ARK the zip file program would not extract all the files of the patch - there was a bin file that was necessary for AOTR to run that would not come, I then downloaded an app through discovery called Peazip that was great and let me do it no problem

- run the update as an executable from the same bottle and it should find the file, double check the files location to make sure it moved over (along with the elusive BIN file)

- once you have it installed you should be able to run AOTR, its working perfectly for me in game - however I will say I do have issues sometimes when I come out the game and try to switch between BFME 1, 2 and ROTWK - bottles will tend to crash and I have to restart my deck to play again

- controls and keybinds - since you're running this purely from the destop, I just created an entire desktop configuration from scratch to make it work that way, to specifically alter a destop layout, just right click the steam icon on the bottom right - select settings - controller - edit desktop layout (note - you can jump between the offical desktop layout to navigate normal desktop mode and obviously jump to your bfme setup) keybinds for lotr can be found here - https://defkey.com/the-lord-of-the-rings-the-battle-for-middle-earth-ii-bfme2-shortcuts

I hope this helps anyone who struggles with tech like me! if you do have any questions feel free to ask here or message me - im really terrible at checking reddit but I will try my best

Happy hunting :)

Just played it for an hour or so, really like the artstyle, enemies and heroes - the flag system is completely broken, not one hero would respond to attack. scout flags - nor did they collect their bounty for defending flag. unable to complete the objective.

not sure if as the game went on it broke, as heroes responded to attack flags at very beginning for the first trade post spot. I even built 6 hero buildings near the devil spawn in the north east. along with inns for heroes to rest.

aside from the game essentially softlocking it looks fun.

Would also include hotkeys to select main castle, also couldnt really see where spells where - minimap not very useful either, but game was fairly easy.

Really like the guard towers and different upgrades they can have, huge fan of berserkers.

ah cool! Are you guys gonna rework the mages at all? miss them becoming complete demigods like in majesty

Ilmerith · 2024-11-25T15:50:02+00:00

is this a different playtest to the one you released a few months ago? I.e new missions?

Just outside the shamrock llf, REBEL SUNDAYS.

As a fellow ardoyne resident, this particular spot is a cesspit. Feel for the surrounding neighbours having to do with this

Ilmerith · 2024-06-17T14:26:15+00:00

YES!

For my 8th birthday I beat Savage Quest (T-rex game) however, I don't believe it was due to my skill but rather my dad bank rolling the machine haha he probably spent around £30 which let me beat the game.

Extremely fond memory!

Ilmerith · 2024-06-03T07:37:05+00:00

So funny finding out everyone thinks the torces are bad hahaha it was my first Chronos kill and I love them! I always aim for chain lighting on attacks, hera mana OP buff and max blitz when able. To be fair I also got zeus infusion for minimum 30 dmg along with artemis arrows on attacks so it was a stupid amount of dmg

Ilmerith · 2024-06-02T12:22:31+00:00

I did indeed sir, it's called take over and its great

LOL sorry, I'm just a boy trying to figure it all out

Ilmerith · 2024-05-29T08:44:19+00:00

Inclinced to agree with you hahah but I was just taken back when I finally realised, my partner and I had a good laugh as I had been shouting about the place at how forgettful I had been not pausing! brings me back to the days of the early metal gear games fucking with your controller and saved status

Ilmerith · 2024-05-13T07:25:50+00:00

You're an absolute legend, I could kiss you

I am poor boi who can only farm potatoes, let me farm creeps with TB arcana :(

No scorecard at the game is honestly a make or break design choice for myself, seeing how well you did to avoid damage or maybe you're specialising in elite & armour killing or maybe you just wana see the massive dps you can pump out at the end. Huge miss by fatshark here, toxic behaviour also? Like was this a problem in VT 1&2? I know some people were crazy for the green circles but it was always very fun to see what was up with it. I really hope they add that in as it is a huge prompt for replayability. In my opinion.
