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.

GameSpy online services have been shut down (see Network for solutions).

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.

General information

The Linux port is an incomplete conversion.

Essential improvements

Patches

The latest version of Allied Assault is 1.11. The game is automatically updated to this version when installing Spearhead or Breakthrough. It's available in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Dutch.

The latest version of Spearhead is 2.15. It is required to install 2.11 first, then 2.15.

The latest version of Breakthrough is 2.40b. If patch 2.40b was installed and the game crashes with a 'Pixomatic' error, install 2.40 over it.

GOG.com and Origin versions of Warchest have all official updates.

Unofficial patch

Fixes some visual bugs, restores cut content, and restores German conversations and greetings that were missing.

Medal of Honor: Community Launcher

The launcher is designed to Launch MOHAA & Expansions from any directory of your choosing, replace the Gamespy Master Server with the Community Master Server (xNULL), provide a Compass fix for Widescreen in SH/BT and automatically apply High Settings & 1080P Screen Resolution by Default.

Widescreen resolution

Edit autoexec.cfg^[4]

Open (create file if needed) <path-to-game>\main\autoexec.cfg in a text editor.
Add the following entries, and save the file with the resolution desired.

seta r_customwidth "1920"
seta r_customheight "1080"
seta r_mode "-1"

Notes

For the expansions, copy autoexec.cfg to <path-to-game>\mainta\custom.cfg for Spearhead, and <path-to-game>\maintt\custom.cfg for Breakthrough or add the lines to the existing custom.cfg in these locations.

Do not change resolution from the in-game options after setting a custom resolution.

Vert-: Image is cropped on aspect ratios wider than 4:3. Increase the FOV to have a Hor+ image.

Increasing frame limit

Edit autoexec.cfg^[5]

Open (create file if needed) <path-to-game>\main\autoexec.cfg in a text editor.
Add the following line, with another number if desired:
- seta com_maxfps "120"
Save the file.

Notes

For the expansions, copy autoexec.cfg to <path-to-game>\mainta\ for Spearhead, and <path-to-game>\maintt\ for Breakthrough or add the lines to the existing autoexec.cfg in these locations.

Field of view (FOV)

Edit autoexec.cfg^[6]

Go to the configuration file(s) location.
Open <path-to-game>\main\configs\autoexec.cfg in a text editor (create it if it does not exist).
Add these commands to the file:

seta ui_console "1"
seta developer "1"

Once in game, press the tilde key, next to the number 1 on the keyboard, and type in fov 110 (replace 110 with the desired FOV).

Notes

For the expansions, copy autoexec.cfg to <path-to-game>\mainta for Spearhead, and <path-to-game>\maintt for Breakthrough or add the lines to the existing autoexec.cfg in these locations.

Vertical sync (Vsync)

Edit autoexec.cfg^{[citation needed]}

Open <path-to-game>\main\configs\autoexec.cfg in a text editor.
- Create the autoexec.cfg file if it does not exist.
Add the following line:
- seta r_swapinterval "1"

Notes

For the expansions, copy autoexec.cfg to <path-to-game>\mainta for Spearhead, and <path-to-game>\maintt for Breakthrough or add the lines to the existing autoexec.cfg in these locations.

Due to the DWM, the game's Vsync implementation is broken in Windows 10, the framerate limiter will work but there will still be tearing.

To solve this: either force Vsync through your graphics card control panel, or choose 16-bit mode for color depth and texture color depth in the game's options.

Max quality graphics settings

Edit autoexec.cfg^{[citation needed]}

Open (create if not present) <path-to-game>\main\autoexec.cfg in a text editor.
Enter the lines in the box below and save the file.

seta r_uselod 0            // Disable level of detail for entities
seta r_roundimagesdown 0   // Better smoothing for unpure ratio textures

Notes

When 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 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" (r_subdivisions 3) to 'Lowest" r_subdivisions 20) in autoexec.cfg.

With 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 seta r_roundimagesdown "1" to solve this issue.

For the expansions, copy autoexec.cfg to <path-to-game>\mainta\custom.cfg for Spearhead, and <path-to-game>\maintt\custom.cfg for Breakthrough or add the lines to the existing custom.cfg in these locations.

These settings, with r_forceClampToEdge "1", can help with black lines in the main menu and skybox in-game.^[7]

On Windows Vista and later, first restore legacy audio effects.

Retrieve missing 3D sound providers^[10]^[11]

Download HRTF for MoHAA.
Extract the archive to a temporary folder.
Move the contents of MOHAA to <path-to-game>.
Move OpenAL to %APPDATA%.
Open <path-to-game>\autoexec.cfg with a text editor.
- Create the autoexec.cfg file if it does not exist.
- For the expansions, create an autoexec.cfg in <path-to-game>\mainta\ for Spearhead, or in <path-to-game>\maintt\ for Breakthrough.
Add seta s_milesdriver with one of the options below that is supported by the sound card. DirectSound3D Hardware Support with DSOAL for MoHAA is recommended, otherwise set to Creative Labs EAX 2 (TM) if using Creative ALchemy. For non-Creative cards, see here or use other wrappers.
- Aureal A3D Interactive (TM)
- Aureal A3D 2.0 (TM)

Save the file.
Make sure that Windows sound output is set to 44.1 kHz to avoid audio distortions. Refer to the instructions provided here, but use 44.1 kHz 24 bit instead.

Notes

Aureal A3D 2.0 (TM) may not work properly during gameplay. The problem can be related to card detection bug in binary.^[12]

EAX 3 with Msseax3.m3d library from GTA Vice City works (also with its Mss32.dll), but spatialization quality is decreased in comparison to EAX 2. It can be obtained here (EAX 3 wasn't released in 2001 yet^[13]).

To avoid crash on startup for Spearhead when using DSOAL with DirectSound3D Hardware Support, use an older version of DSOAL, attached in True 3D Sound for Headphones v1.1. Otherwise download this DSOAL package which contains audio settings and snddrivers for MoHAA.

GameSpy alternative

Replace master server lookup^{[citation needed]}

Download the MOH: Server Browser Fixer.
Extract the package and open MOHGSFixer.exe.
Select the <path-to-game> directory.
Click Patch Detected Games.

Notes

Confirmed to work with GOG version of the game. Alternative is to connect directly via IP address by using GameTracker or to use the Query Launcher Utility.

The in-game server browser for the Origin version does not work; however, connecting to a server via direct connect or the Query Launcher Utility does.^{[citation needed]}

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]
Download the two EXEs in this forum post and replace the ones in `<path-to-game>`.

Rename the expansions' executables^[16]
In `<path-to-game>`, rename `MOHAA.exe` to something else. Rename an expansion's executables (`moh_spearhead.exe` or `moh_breakthrough.exe`) to `MOHAA.exe`.

Use an OpenGL to DirectX translation layer

Download the latest version of GLDirect from here.
In the archive that was downloaded, go to gldirect5\bin\release\.
Extract the DLL from this folder into <path-to-game>.
Alternatively, an updated GLDirect that enables fog is available on GitHub.
Download and copy opengl32.dll (and optional gldirect.ini) to <path-to-game>.

Notes

It can alter visual fidelity of original graphics.

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]
Find an older version of `OpenGL.dll`. Place it in `<path-to-game>`.

Disable in-game Origin overlay by forcing the 3dfxgl graphics driver^{[citation needed]}

Go to <path-to-game>.
In the three folders named main, mainta and maintt, edit each autoexec.cfg with a text editor.
In all three config files, insert the following line: seta r_gldriver "3dfxgl".

Notes

This possibly works since Origin fails to detect the 3dfxgl graphics driver, and as a result disables the in-game overlay.

Works for both expansions and the base game.

Graphics settings are lost each time when starting game

Start a mission and wait for the game to be saved^[18]^[19]
Launch the game. Select and apply the desired settings. Start any mission. Wait for the message "Game Saved" to appear.

Create autoexec.cfg

Copy the graphics settings from the <path-to-game>\main\configs\unnamedsoldier.cfg file to <path-to-game>\main\autoexec.cfg

Notes

Alternatively, set the maximum graphics settings.

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.

Add the line `seta in_mouse -1` to `autoexec.cfg`^{[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]

Right-click the game executable in <path-to-game> and select Properties.
- Base game: MOHAA.exe
- Spearhead expansion: moh_spearhead.exe
- Breakpoint expansion: moh_breakthrough.exe
Go to the Compatibility tab.
Near the bottom of the window, select 'Change high DPI settings'.
'Override high DPI scaling behaviour' keep the default (Application) in the drop down list.
- If the 'Override high DPI scaling behaviour' option is greyed out, first press 'Change settings for all users' in the Compatibility tab in the previous window.

Unstable frame rate and stuttering

Change level of details

Set shadows to "Simple" (cg_shadows "1") and curve details to "low" (seta r_subdivisions "10") in advanced options.

Notes

This performance issue can occur with newer graphics cards supporting OpenGL 4.0 and newer. It is most common on Windows Vista and newer.

Fixes nearly all performance problems in Spearhead, when FPS might go down 8 FPS in the first level.

Does not help for Breakthrough. Curve detail setting can be lost on restart. Game can crash on settings save, sometimes can be fixed when you press default button, and make changes afterwards.

Enable Reshade/SweetFx

Instruction^[21]

Install ReShade 3 or 4 as OpenGL. Works with the base game and both expansion packs. No in-game config changes are needed.

There is a bug when showing the OSD of MSI Afterburner overlay, which causes Reshade to stop working. Hide the OSD to restore Reshade.

Older Reshade 1.x/SweetFX 2.0 OpenGL injectors won't work automatically. To use them, install a OpenGL to DirectX wrapper such as GLDirect. Additionally, changes must be made to the game's configuration.

For Reshade 1.x/2.0, follow these steps:

Download gldirect5
Go to bin\release. Extract and rename gldirect5.dll to opengl32.dll
Alternatively, an updated GLDirect that enables fog is available on GitHub.
Copy the file to the <path-to-game>.
Run ReShade's Setup.exe and set D3D9 Mode.

Alternatively:

Open <path-to-game>\main\configs\unnamedsoldier.cfg
Go to cvars section:
Add the following line: seta r_gldriver "3dfxgl"
Search for and download gldirect5
Go to bin\release. Extract and rename gldirect5.dll to 3dfxgl.dll
Copy the file <path-to-game>.
Optional: Paste in "SweetFx preset file" into the MoH directory (found in link above).
Run ReShade (1.0, 2.0) Setup.exe and set D3D9 Mode.

May introduce graphical distortions in the Main Menu of the Game. Install GLDirect DX8 as a fix (it also increases performance a little; however, it produces a darker image). Rename the d3d9.dll Reshade injector to d3d8.dll.

"Game Filter" via Nvidia Driver overlay may achieve similar results as SweetFx, however Reshade is better at implementing ambient occlusion and bloom effects.

 '''Notes'''
-{{ii}} '''Warning''': When r_subdivisions is 1 or 2, the game bugs out when the player is located in certain areas. The frame rate feels like 5-10 fps and the mouse is not responding correctly. Solution: set "r_subdivisions" to something higher like "3" (max 20) in maxquality.cfg.
+{{--}} 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}} You can also do this for the expansion packs. Simply copy <code>custom.cfg</code> to <code>{{p|game}}\mainta\</code> and/or <code>{{p|game}}\maintt\</code>.
+{{--}} 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}} You can add in other settings such as custom resolution and this will fix any issues you have with saving settings.
+{{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.
