    Default The Lord of the rings: War of the Ring crashes, how fix?

    Hey guys, i recently purchased and installed the above named game onto my computer.

    It installed just fine, and when i attempt to play it I can create a profile, then click on single player just fine

    BUT

    when I click on on good, the game crashes. Evil I can play though..

    How do I fix this.. or am I just doomed to never play this game that I remember fondly from my early college days.

    If the Evil campaign loads, but Good doesn't, the first thing I'd check are the game files proper.

    Got it on Steam or what?

    If steam, disable your antivirus, verify game files, then re-enable your antivirus.
    May you get EXACTLY what you wish for.

    I have the physical CDs (both install and play)



    How would I go about checking if the game files are right?

    If you're lucky, you can just explore the CD and copy the game files to the directory on your HD.

    If not ... just do a reinstall.

    Did you check the user privileges?
    Run the game as Administrator, it may help

    I had the exact same problem after recently re-installing War of the Ring (it's been about 2 yrs. since I had it on my HDD). Off of a hunch, I went into my Windows 10 Apps & Features/Programs and Files. Once in there I noticed that I had several "double-entries" of Microsoft Visual C++ <year> Redistributable. The doubles were the same version but one for x86 (32-bit) and one for x64 (64-bit). Since my Windows 10 is the 64-bit OS, I deleted all of the Microsoft Visual C++ <year> Redistributable (x86) installations.

    As odd as it sounds, this did the trick for me. The good campaign no longer crashes. This may or may not work for you, but it may be worth a try.
