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.
Key points
- Cannot use Alt+Tab ↹ while in-game (Alt+Ctrl+Delete works, but maximising may cause crash). As a workaround, pressing Alt+↵ Enter will make your game windowed, which will allow you to Alt+Tab ↹. Pressing Alt+↵ Enter again while the game is in focus will restore the game to fullscreen.
- The Linux port is an incomplete conversion.

Confirmed to work with GOG version of the game. Alternative is to connect directly via IP address by using this website: https://cache.gametracker.com/search/mohaa/ or to use Medal of Honor: Query Launcher Utility |

Issues fixed
Graphics settings are lost each time when starting game
Create autoexec.cfg |
---|
You need to copy your graphics settings from |
"GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem" error message on startup
Download GLDirect from https://sourceforge.net/projects/gldirect/
When you trying to play using Intel HD Graphic and the game crash on startup,
you need to download this file and copy/paste the openGL.dll into the <path-to-game>.
Can't turn mouse more than 180° (or doesn't work properly)
- Some mouse precision issues may be caused by the games' incompatibility with high-polling rates of modern gaming mice. The first fix is recommended.
Edit config |
---|
Put this line into config file.
|
Lower polling rate of mouse[citation needed] |
---|
Lower mouse polling rate to 125Hz (8ms) via mouse drivers |
Game crashes during EA logo (Origin version)
Change settings of Origin |
---|
If the game crashes at startup using the Origin version, you have to disable "Origin In Game". |
Disable in-game Origin overlay by changing graphics driver[citation needed] |
---|
Go to:
In all 3 cfgs, insert the following line: seta r_gldriver "3dfxgl"
|
Can't load savegames in MoH: Spearhead Addon - Mission is always starting at the beginning
Change settings of Origin |
---|
If you can't load savegames the proper way, which means you always start at the beginning of the map, then you will need to disable "Origin In Game" in the Origin's "Application settings". This will fix the problem. |
Unstable frame rate and stuttering
- This performance issue can occur with newer graphics cards supporting OpenGL 4.0 and newer. It is most common on Windows Vista and Windows 7. Since the game is based on the Quake 3 engine and is using the same or a similar OpenGL version, the graphics card driver will handle the game correctly if it thinks that it is Quake 3.
Change level of details |
---|
Set shadows to "Simple" (cg_shadows "1") and curve details to "low" (seta r_subdivisions "10") in advanced options.
