Create a new free account. GameRanger will prompt you to create a new GameRanger account or use an existing one, and you will need to enter your valid e-mail address.
Activate your account and log in. Within minutes you should receive a confirmation e-mail to activate your GameRanger account. If it's not in your inbox, try looking in your junk folder.
2- Do portforward for GameRanger in your router/modem. GameRanger uses UDP 16000 port. If you dont know how to do portforward visit this website and find your router/modem in there. Then follow the steps. And after portforward you need check your port (UDP 16000) with this tool to be sure if its working good . Please see correct results in the picture bellow.
If you couldn't do these steps, write model of your router/modem here. We will help to fix it.
3- Turn-off your router/modem's firewall (personally, i have disabled windows firewall too, you don't have to do.)
4- If you have an anti-virus program, configure its internal firewall or turn-off. (most of them have firewall)
5- After these steps u will be able to connect other players and should see the users in gameranger with non italic letters! (if you haven't a specific problem). Sometimes there will be auto kick/CD key already in use problems. You need to spam some words like "dfdsf" "fdfsdfdf" when u have joined the hosted games. Then you need to pick a color asap to stop auto-kick/drop from host.
I made this autokick fixer. Works for all BfME games series --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROGRAM USAGE
From VALSADOOM
A) Once you have Gameranger, and once you were able to join a chat room from a host or made your own, it is better to clarified with the others the rules of the game you want to play, before pressing the start button, also everybody must have their BFME game shut off, for it will open automatically when the host press the start button anyways.
B) Once your BFME game opens, it is better for the host to wait for the other players in the lobby of BFME before creating a game. C) It is in the lobby of BFME that you must pick teams if more then 2 players, from there you don't get kicked all the time, like in the chat room of the created game from the host, this is very important, the lobby of BFME is your safe place, no need to spam, no need to panic, and you can always gather there after each game without going back all the way to the chat room of GameRanger.
D) Once your in the chat room of the game that the host has created you might get kick, do not panic join back and spam a few words, plz not like a maniac, just a letter or something every 4 or 5 seconds, or simply switch color again and again.
E) If you have difficulty to join the game from the lobby of BFME and you receive a message like ''user time out'', or ''serial number already in use'' or simply can't join the host's game because it says it's full, you can try hosting a game then cancel it and then join back the host game. F) Remember at the end of every games you can gather in the lobby of BFME If you die you can wait for the other to join you there and restart a new game.

Someone mentioned in game that choosing a color prevents auto kik in game chat room. Ever since trying this solution, I've never had/seen an auto kik. Anyone else confirm/refute?

I played with Bishop yesterday, and it was very frustrating for both of us. 3x, his game ended exact same time, no matter his host or mine. Hope you get some help Bishop...

Im playing on Gameranger with Vista, so it shouldnt be an OS problem. I dont have any idea what it could be tho.
Perhaps my dvd code is a pirate. I bought the copy off ebay but it looks geniune. I have another copy that i bought at the store i know that is geniune. My last hope is to renistall with that code. We shall keep our fingers crossed.

Hm.. i tried to connect to Texx today.. a player where i normaly dont have probs with... today i wasnt able to connect to him in one game.. in another game i just had to try to get into the game for about 3 minutes... in the end i was able to get in.....
Worth clarifying - you used the CCleaner registry scanner as opposed to the standard CCleaner scan? If not, do that. If so, try again. Uninstall, CCleaner registry scan, then type regedit into your start menu, open the program, and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EA GAMES\The Battle for Middle-earth and make sure everything has been deleted, specifically the Product GUID key.
Also, not really worth making statements like "why isn't GameRanger compatible with Vista." Probably 45% of the people using it just fine have Vista.....
1- Install the program GameRanger
- Create a new free account. GameRanger will prompt you to create a new GameRanger account or use an existing one, and you will need to enter your valid e-mail address.
- Activate your account and log in. Within minutes you should receive a confirmation e-mail to activate your GameRanger account. If it's not in your inbox, try looking in your junk folder.
