- 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

Issues fixed

|
"GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem" error message on startup
Reduce the game's resolution |
---|
|
Use an OpenGL to DirectX translation layer |
---|
|
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.
- 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 it's expansions.
Replace the expansions' EXEs with patched versions[12] |

|
Rename the expansions' EXEs[13] |

Use an OpenGL to DirectX translation layer |

|
Use an older version of OpenGL's DLL[14] |

|
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 |
---|
Add the line |
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, disable the "Origin In Game" overlay. |
Disable in-game Origin overlay by forcing the 3dfxgl graphics driver[citation needed] |
---|
|
Can't load savegames in MoH: Spearhead Addon - Mission is always starting at the beginning
Change settings of Origin |
---|
If savegames can't be loaded normally, resulting in the game always starting at the beginning of a map, then it is required that "Origin In Game" is disabled in Origin's "Application settings". |
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.
