MOHAA keeps crashing

GODGOYLE · **MOHAA keeps crashing -** 12-24-2002, 01:41 PM

I just got MOHAA & the Spearhead expansion.... I can't play MOHAA due to it keeps crashing.. I have no idea why its doing this although It seems to be atrend with EA games as my BF 1942 will crash 1s in a while.. Anyway.. Here is my specs...

Gigabytle GA7-VRX Mobo
Athlon XP 2000+
Win XP Pro
GF4 Ti 4200 with 41.09 drivers
SB Audigy
512 MB Ram

I can't get past the initial truck ride in MOHAA.... It will crash. I have the 1.11 patch. I have tried (Enable conformant OpenGL Texture clamp behavior) I've tried a lower resolution, & I have tried letting the game auto config... Any help or a possible fix would be great or this thing is going back to the store asap!

That used to happen to me a lot. So if you are just going to play the single player game do this... Before you start playing shut down all things running in the background with ctrl+alt+delete, Except EXPLORER and SYSTRAY. Then go to internet options and under the connections tab select NEVER DIAL A CONNECTION. That is what i did and my game never crashed after that. And you should be able to run it in normal mode too. I'm no computer expert, but that is what i did and it helped.

You you have any custom maps, take OUT Dasboot and any tank maps.

Should fix your problem.

What are you talking about? What patch?

I was just on the phone with EA & they can't even figure it out.. I think this is going back to the store..

To sum up what Butch said, he means you need to upgrade your video card drivers, But you already have them.

Hmm. . .

We can try to do a fresh install:

Do that, and let me know if there is any difference. Follow it to the T, plz!

Well I did a reformat... Not sure it fixed it but yes I have all the latest drivers, & RTCW runs fine.... I have no idea whats up MOHAA's arse except its got EA involved..... EA has the midas touch in reverse.. Everything EA slaps there name on has some sort of issue!!!!

GODGOYLE · 12-25-2002, 12:16 AM

BTW Butcher.. I looked at your opengl patch for XP but it says its intel based at least from the example but it is included in the XP service pack 1 which I do have...

BUTCHER · Location: BUTCHES SPEARHEAD MOD 24.28.11.58

my game runs fine and i use pretty much the same box as you. before you take the easy way out and blame EA try to fix the problem with your box. cause thats where its at partner...BUTCHER

Crpl. Crunch · 12-25-2002, 02:24 AM

GODGOYLE, have you tried what i suggested? I was having the same problem when i first started playing it. Give it a try!

pvt_hz · 12-25-2002, 11:15 AM

try running mohaa in compatibility mode as windows me, that should help, my battlefield 1942 used to crash a lot but when i did that it suddenly stopped.

You can try to use SP1, but I recommend that whomever plays games, espically using OpenGL, to just get the hotfixes. There's a .DLL issue for games like GTA3 and BF1942 that causes extreme slowdowns in video graphics with the SP.
