Hi Gamers!

I have a SB Audigy and solved MY problems by adding the following command line option to the MOHAA shortcut:-

-wavonly

This instructs the Quake3 game engine to disable DirectSound & use windows WAV file output only. I can't hear any difference in sound quality, but my copy of MOHAA now plays like a dream, even at 1280x1024 on my GeForce3 with every detail level turned up full! ;-)

PS. For those of you interested...

My System Spec:-
- ASUS A7A266 Motherboard (ALi Magik1 chipset)
- AMD Athlon 1.4 GHz
- 256 Mb PC2100 DDR RAM
- 10 Gb UDMA100 Hard Disk (C http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/smile.gif
- 40 Gb UDMA100 Hard Disk (D http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/smile.gif
- Toshiba 16/48 DVD-ROM
- Teac 12x10x32 CD-Writer
- ELSA Gladiac 920 (GeForce3)
- SB Audigy Player (OEM)
- 2 x 100mm Case Coolers
- Twin fan drive cooler (on 40 Gb drive)

OS/Drivers:-
- Windows 98 SE with IE 6.0
- ALi Magik1 v1.06 chipset drivers
- DirectX 8.1
- NVidia DetonatorXP v21.83 video drivers
- Latest SB Audigy drivers

Optimizations:-

This is almost IDENTICAL Hardware & Software to my PC and I've been having similar lockups. Sound card combination is what I'm betting on...

Example: Starting the game - big grey screen. Other times the game locks up with the last sound repeating and resetting to the Windows desktop, I could only see the top left portion of my desktop. I managed to get to a command.com and run the famous "@RUNDLL USER.EXE,ExitWindows" to get my PC to power off. (Reboot is "@RUNDLL SHELL.DLL,RestartDialog")

RTC Wolfenstein ran FLAWLESSLY with the highest game settings! I've also enabled the game highest game settings in Allied Assault... I don't like the solution that would "lower" such extras. I didn't spend so much money on such a hardware so that I could turn down the detail!!! FIX THE GAME (soon please)!

I'm going to try the suggestion of "-wavonly" and report back on it.

PS. I have the latest game patch

Game runs flawless for me..I get 60-90 fps http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Specs:

Athlon-tbird 1.2ghz
Abit KT7a 133
256mb pc133 ram
8gb HD
SBlive value
40x CD
GF2 MX 32mb Hercules (Det 23.11)

Those having probs, what kinda shit you got running in the background? Virus software is pretty hard on intense FPS's (first person shooters) Also.. bios being setup properly helps alot with stability..

Can't speak for everyone else, but I disable as much as possible before running any hi-end game. So that eliminates one possibility.

I tweak my BIOS settings for greater performance/stability and have had the game crash. I've played my the BIOS quite a bit, even tried running in stability mode (100FSB) and still got crashes.

My "little rig" is as follows...

AMD TBird 1.4
MSI KT266
256MB Micron DDR, pc2100
Hercules GeForce 3
2x30GB Maxtor HDD's (RAID-0)
1x40GB Seagate Baracuda HDD
SBLive! 5.1

yep, could very well be SB-related. Though the crash does seem to occur with other audio brand setups, it seems to be much more frequent with SB. A buddy of mine run MoH on a Radeon 8500 w/ onboard audio and NEVER gets crashes. The jealousy is unbearable...

Hey all you people with problems. I once had a freezing problem. If any of you have installed a weapon skin or player skin some of them are bugged. I installed a weapon skin for an SMG and every time i used the SMG it froze. If you have that problem get rid of all your skin downloads. If that doesnt work, you might need a different video card
