When I try to start a game,load a saved game, view credits, or anything like that; the game locks up and my Network Connections box pops up on my screen. Is there anyway that I can fix this so I can play? It just started doing this.

yea even in SP MOH tries to connect to the internet when you start a mission - I don't think anyone knows exactly what info is being sent back and forth.

Yeah problem is, I don't want to be connected to the 'Net to play the game.

swingline 02-09-2002 06:36 AM

I turned off the firewall but it still doesn't work. Any other suggestions?

HUNTER - you will need to download new drivers for your vid card

swingline - the game tries to connect to the internet i think - have you tried connecting on your modem first - then starting the game? this way your network connections won't pop up because you are already connected to the internet.

Doesn't matter. For some unanswered reason, SP tries to access the internet.

Do you have this problem in MP?

Do you have XP's personal firewall enabled? Are you running another firewall? Your settings might be too high on either and that's locking it up...maybe.

swingline 02-09-2002 10:43 AM

Oh, I feel stupid. http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/smile.gif Yeah I do have the firewall running....will turn it off and see if that helps.

Try hitting Esc as soon as it locks up. I'm having the same problem. I hit Esc, then after a few seconds it takes off. Hope this works for you, and I honestly hope the publishers will start fixing bugs like this before worrying about patching multiplayer.

swingline 02-10-2002 09:30 AM

Alright, thanks a lot guys! Will try it.

The dial up deal is a bug. Some people with win 98/ME have changed their dial up settings to "never dial a connection" and that "fixed" the problem for them but I have found that that "trick" doesnt work on my Win XP pro system. I have sent emails to EA with no sucess and posted on many forums about this so I know that they are aware of this problem let's hope they patch it.

For now what I do to get by is as soon as I select the skill level I hit the space bar when the dail up starts and it will kill the connection. It may dial if your not fast enough but it will hang up as soon as it's done and the game will start. Not sure why this works but it does.

Not a fix but it is better than what EA is doing for us which to this point is nothing.

swingline 02-11-2002 12:18 AM

I press the SPACE bar and it works. Thanks/

try going to windows accesories and compatibility mode and select the exe from the list and run in win 98/me just a thought http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/smile.gif

HUNTER: Update ur video card's driver from the manufacture's site. That should fix it.

SWING: Try 1 of 2 things. I have XP, and it works fine for me.

1) Uninstall the 1.1 patch, if you have it. Then, reinstall/install it.

2) Try Uninstalling the game, fresh install it. Most of the time, fresh installs can fix alot of problems. Don't forget the run Auto-Configure before loading the game for the 1st time!!!
