– Installed patches: 1.03, 1.05, 1.06 & 1.09
By default the game runs on v1.09, use the patch switcher to switch to v1.06 or back to 1.09
For online multiplayer visit t3aonline(dot)net and follow their instructions
The patch switcher also doesn’t seem to work on Windows XP (Needs .NET Framework 4.0 or newer)
You can manually switch patches by copying asset.dat from gamedir\Patch Switcher\106 or 109 folder into the gamedir
– For widescreen use the patch switcher and click on “Fix my resolution” so that it can set it to your native desktop resolution
– Fix for auto-defeat after 3:30 minutes (apparently the unofficial patches doesn’t fix it)
– 4GB RAM patch
– Only English language, multilanguage was not possible due to the unofficial patches (possible audio for other languages but there is no point in that since the text is English)

WARNING: The patch switcher has a custom “Zoom x1 (450)” and “Zoom x2 (600)” options for increasing the zooming levels in the game, however when you use that feature then it introduces graphical glitches to the trees ingame!
This feature has been made optional in the installer and if you decide to NOT install the game with it, then clicking the above 2 options in the patch switcher will have no effect

Unresolved issues:
– Out of Memory – This error has no proper workaround and is a symptom of the game engine’s limitations (restricted RAM indexing), lower graphical settings, and avoid memory-heavy mods. Any mod that uses high-resolution textures are highly susceptible to this crash
– Off-host delay – All games in this series suffer from a delay when giving commands, measured in seconds, if the player is not the host of the multiplayer match. For Battle for Middle-earth, there is no known fix
