Lord of the Rings : Battle for Middle Earth 2 (pirated copy) defeat after 3 minutes fix 

 EA games have put this security feature in BFME 2 where the you are automatically defeated after 3 minutes of game play without the enemy attacking if you are using a pirated version.

All your buildings are destroyed all at once automatically. You can't do anything about it.

It's frustrating I know :( 

Well after spending a whole day searching for a workaround I finally got the solution.

How to:

1. Download the files from the link given below.
2. It will have some files in it ( BFME2LM.exe ,config.ini and other keygen related files)
3. Copy all files into whichever folder you have installed or copied the game
4. Now right-click on config.ini and change the PATH address to the folder of the game then save it and close it.
5. Now open cmd from run
6. Go to the game folder and run the BFME2LM.exe file in the following way
7. BFME2LM.exe XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
8. The X's stand for the serail key which you can get from the rld-bme.exe keygen
9. Just press enter 
10. Nothing will happen and the only way to check it would be to actually play the game and test it.

Reason : 

When you start the game it encrypts and writes a serial key into the game2.dat file.

So if the key is not valid the game ends after 3 minutes

This procedure ensures that the old key replaced by the new one.

(You can check if the key has changed by opening the game2.dat file. Although it will just contains random characters you see if the characters have changed.)

P.S. - Just comment if you want to add anything or if the file gets deleted I will try my best to restore the file

ENJOY.
