I am trying to install and play BFME (Battle For Middle-Earth), BFMEII, ROTWK (Rise Of The Witch King) & TAOTR (The Age Of The Ring) I do not have any of the game files, or games, as I couldn't find a way to actually download the games and have them work right. That is until I came upon this guide (linked below). Only issues I have are the graphics themselves and how laggy the game is

Outside of this guide, I have gone down numerous rabbit holes with no resolution. So many websites with outdated information or lack thereof. Any help would be appreciated.

You haven’t explained how you own the game. We need more information to troubleshoot.

What platform are you trying to install it from?

I did an edit to my post. I was provided a guide that was able get the launcher working in Linux. However, the next issue I am having is graphics & the game lagging considerably.
