DESCRIPTION:
===================================================================================================

When installed on disks over 2 TB, the Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring will prevent you
from saving the game. This mod fixes that by removing the lock on the save button.

Please note that YOU WILL STILL SEE "DISK SPACE TOO LOW" MESSAGES after installing this mod, both
when starting up the game and when saving it. However, you WILL be able to save your game; just
ignore the warnings.

For those who are interested: this bug is caused by integer overflow. The game actually thinks your
disk has NEGATIVE free space, which you can see when trying to save the game (you may see a message
like "-214748 KB available". This mod does not fix the overflow itself, but changes the opcode that
is responsible for disabling the save button. A total of three bytes were changed to no-ops. The
Windows Compatibility assistant and developer's kit are NOT able to fix this problem because the
game implemented its own file handling logic, back when hard drives were a LOT smaller.


REQUIREMENTS:
===================================================================================================

Fellowship of the Ring v1.1


INSTALLATION:
===================================================================================================

1. Back up Fellowship.rfl in your main game directory (this is found right next to Fellowship.exe,
   usually in "C:\Program Files (x86)\LotR The Fellowship of the Ring").
2. Copy Fellowship.rfl from this directory to your main game directory.
3. Play the game!

To uninstall, just replace this mod's Fellowship.rfl with your backup.
