Hi everyone,

i had the same problem that a lot of you had already encountered : the fact that the extensions Breakthrough and Spearheard crash if we don't rename their corresponding executable file in "MOHAA.exe".
So by doing this the problem of crashing is solved
BUT when the game is launched the sound "ea games challenge everything" is played 5 seconds before the logo begins.
AND when i arrive in the briefing room (see attached image) to start or configure the game, my mouse is moving pn the screen 5 seconds after i moved it.
AND the sound is cutting every 3 seconds
AND even if i reach the configuration screen (after several minutes considering issues described above) i can't change the screen configuration which is at 640x480)
AND when i try to launch the first mission in Breaktrough the progression bar remains blocked to about 5% or 10%.

I add that with Allied Assault i didn't have any of these problems. The configuration was set to his maximum and all was perfectly fluid.

I tried to add the third opengl32.dll from this site "fr.dll-files.com/opengl32.dll.htm" (i can't post if I write the entire url)but it was worse (even the cinematic form the logo EA Games was very slow : without this .dll the sound appears before the logo but independently none of them was lagging).

Thank you in advance if someone can help me.

You should provide more information about your system (hardware, OS, etc.) in order to get help.

Some users suggested to rename the expansions' executable files to "quake3.exe" instead of "MOHAA.exe", in order to make your video card drivers think that the game running is Quake 3 (whose engine Medal of Honor is based on).
Another possible solution is to use this alternative executable for Spearhead or this other one for Breakthrough, but these fixes are specifically intended for Windows 10, and that's why I asked you to provide information on your system.
Thank you for your answer :

configuration :

Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3217U CPU @ 1.80GHz
RAM : 4 Go
OS : Windows 10 21H1
Intel HD Graphics 4000.

in fact I already tried the alternative executable you suggest and it has the same effect on my computer than renaming the corresponding .exe in MOHAA.exe. I mean that it allows the game to launch (without that the game crashes) but I have the same problems with mouse, sound, loading of missions.

Did you try renaming the executable as "quake3.exe" instead of "MOHAA.exe"?
Have you edited the expansion packs' configuration files?

Yes I tried renaming "MOHAA.exe" with "quake3.exe" and it didn't change anything.

If you mean to edit unnamedsoldier.cfg in game folder/main/configs and add to the bottom:
[i]seta r_customwidth "1280"
seta r_customheight "720"
seta r_mode "-1"[/i]
Yes I've done it also without any improvement.

The "main" folder is for base game only. I meant the configuration files for the two expansions, whose directory are named "mainta" (for Spearhead) and "maintt" (for Breakhrought).
I suggest you to read this tutorial.

Sorry for my late answer and thank you for your effort to solve my problem, but I have already read this tutorial and tested it (as many solutions suggested on this forum) but with no effect.

I still have problem with sound cutting every 3 seconds, still have to wait 5 seconds for my mouse to move from one place to another on the screen and no loading of the first mission (when with extreme patience, considering the speed of my mouse, I succeed in cliking on the first mission in the briefing room.

I already said that with Allied Assault I have no problem but also no problem with Pacific Assault. So I think the problem is solvable but for the moment I didn't find any solution by reading the forum.

Since you said that you can't change the resolution from 640x480, my speculation was that you haven't edited the expansions' configuration files, but only the base game's configuration file. If it's not the case, I don't know if I can help you any further, sorry.
The resolution can be changed indeed with the previous tutorial, but I was thinking that the fact that i couldn't changed it directly in the option menu in the game could be a symptom of my main problem.
And this problem is the lagging of image and sound and the fact that when i succeed in clicking on the first mission "tunisia" (if I remember for Breakthrough) the progression of loading bar remains blocked at around 5%.

Anyway thank you for your attempt , hoping that someone else has the solution.
Nearly 2 months after, I found the solution...
It was simple, fast and explained here : https://support.gog.com/hc/fr/articles/214065105-Medal-of-Honor-Allied-Assault-War-Chest?product=gog
I just downloaded the glDirect5 archive as explained, extracted it, and put opengl32.dll in the main folder. And it works !
I didn't know the problem was already mentionned and solved on GOG client support.

Hi! I am having the same problem. When I click the link you provided it just takes me to the French version of the site for what looks like FAQ about MOH. Anyway you can send me what exactly you did? Thanks!
hey friends, one of the games not to forget is spearhead from the 1998 game, it needs to be cracked without using a cd-rom and a game with 2 games in one is spearhead and thunder brigade and it needs to be cracked without using a cd-rom
Don't forget to show something difficult to get on GOG, it's Spearhead from 1998 for PC, that's difficult
