I recently purchased The Lord Of The Rings: The Battle For Middle Earth II from EA. I started playing and the game was amazing. The level of detail and thought put into the game was incredible and it goes without saying was very entertaining. But I was very dissapointed to find out that after about 1-2 hours into playing my game would crash with the 'game.dat error'. EA has posted an official reply on their Technical Forum here http://forums.ea.com/mboards/thread.jspa?messageID=456932&sls=2&threadID=52866#456932
EA is basically saying the problem lies with out video cards and specs but it seems to be a developer mistake here. Does anyone have a fix for this? I really wanna try out this game. Please post a message!

what video card do you have? did u uninstall and reinstall? try fiddling with the graphics options after a fresh install to see if one specific thing was responsible?
like shadows or a certain detail on high...

Try what Arkane said, also updating the drivers to the latest may help.
