− | {{ | + | {{--}} When {{code|r_subdivisions}} is 1 or 2, the game bugs out when the player is located in certain areas. Some Levels may also have incorect map geometry. Set {{code|r_subdivisions}} to a higher value such as 3 to get rid of this issue. In the in-game menu, the list go from "High" ({{code|r_subdivisions 3}}) to 'Lowest" {{code|r_subdivisions 20}}) in {{file|autoexec.cfg}}. |
− | {{ii}} | + | {{--}} With {{code|seta r_roundimagesdown "0"}}, textures that use an unpure power of 2 as a resolution ratio are rounded to the upper nearest power of 2 instead of the lower, meaning slightly better visuals on those textures. Some custom maps or modifications are however not compatible with this setting and may cause the game to crash without an error message, switch back to the default {{code|seta r_roundimagesdown "1"}} to solve this issue. |
+ | {{ii}} For the expansions, copy {{file|autoexec.cfg}} to {{file|{{p|game}}\mainta\custom.cfg}} for Spearhead, and {{file|{{p|game}}\maintt\custom.cfg}} for Breakthrough or add the lines to the existing {{file|custom.cfg}} in these locations. | ||

Warnings
- The macOS (OS X) version of this game does not work on macOS Catalina (version 10.15) or later due to the removal of support for 32-bit-only apps.
Medal of Honor: Allied Assault is a singleplayer and multiplayer first-person action, FPS and shooter game in the Medal of Honor series.
Allied Assault was the first PC release of the Medal of Honor series. The game would receive two expansion packs, Spearhead in November 2002 and Breakthrough from September 2003. The War Chest edition which contains both expansions alongside the base game would be the default digital release.
On modern systems, the game may have issues with freezing on startup, settings not saving between sessions and poor screen scaling. Expansions are more prone to problems than the base game. Community multiplayer servers have also been set up to replace the deprecated GameSpy service.

Notes

Issues unresolved
Issues with minimizing
- Alt+Tab ↹ can not be used while in-game. Alt+Ctrl+Delete works, but maximising may cause crash.
- As a workaround, pressing Alt+↵ Enter will switch to windowed mode, which will allow using Alt+Tab ↹.
Issues fixed
Game freezes on startup
- There is a bug in the game where the device string provided by newer GPU drivers is longer than the game expects, likely causing a buffer overflow.
- If using the OpenGL renderer, the game may throw the "GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem" error message.
- Many GPU drivers have workarounds where they trim the string sent to
MOHAA.exe
, negating the problem. - However, this workaround was only put in for the base game, not its expansions.[14]
Replace the expansions' executables with patched versions[15] |
---|
|
Rename the expansions' executables[16] |
---|
|
Use an OpenGL to DirectX translation layer |
---|
Notes
|
If the game attempts to render at a higher resolution than supported, see Widescreen resolution to forcefully lower it |
---|
Use an older version of OpenGL's DLL[17] |
---|
|
Disable in-game Origin overlay by forcing the 3dfxgl graphics driver[citation needed] |
---|
Notes
|
Graphics settings are lost each time when starting game
Start a mission and wait for the game to be saved[18][19] |
---|
|
Create appropriate configuration file |
---|
Copy the graphics settings from the Notes
|
Can not turn mouse more than 180° (or does not work properly)
- Some mouse precision issues may be caused by the game's incompatibility with high-polling rates of modern gaming mice. The first fix is recommended.
See Improve Mouse responsiveness[citation needed] |
---|
Lower the mouse polling rate to 125 Hz (8ms) via mouse drivers[citation needed] |
---|
Poor screen scaling (DPI issues)
Change high DPI settings[20] |
