i used to be able to handle it better. I just...hm.... acquired, the whole Battle for Middle-Earth series and it's locked at 30fps. it's literally unplayable now by giving me headaches. I'm sure I could manage it again after a while, but eughh it's not worth the pain
Particularly BFME 2 for me... yeah, those games need a remaster badly, but they're locked in IP hell.
So, fun fact. You can download a launcher from moddb that just allows you to install the games and some of the more popular mods, because yeah. You literally can't buy it.
AND someone made a program to break the code to remove the lock from the fps in a way that doesn't make the game run faster (this used to be a big thing back in the day, they'd lock the fps to the speed of the game) but they've paywalled the tool on their patreon
Wow, great info here. Thanks comrade. I had no idea about the mod launcher letting you download the games. I have BFME2 + RotWK on CD, but it's a hassle to install these days.
As for the tool, I'm a bit annoyed at the paywall, but I'd consider tossing a few bucks in if I feel like giving those games a go again.
