Thread: Fix for MOHAA 1.11 Windows 7 x64 Crash to Desktop [Newer i7 Processors]

  1. #1

    Exclamation Fix for MOHAA 1.11 Windows 7 x64 Crash to Desktop [Intel Integrated Graphics]

    I recently bought a new gaming laptop, and whenever I tried to launch MOHAA, I would get a black screen with a mouse cursor. Then, MOHAA would just crash back to the desktop without any error messages.

    After spending hours searching online, It turns out that newer processors running Intel integrated graphics can interfere with older games. If you have an i7 CPU or similar with integrated Intel HD Graphics running Windows 7, you'll need to set your preferred main GPU within your Nvidia or ATI driver control panel. For some reason, both Nvidia and ATI default to the integrated graphics card for older games such as MOHAA. As such, you must set your preferences to always use the better video card. Here's a detailed guide on how to do it with both Nvidia and ATI video cards:

    Nvidia Fix:

    Step 1: Load the Nvidia Control Panel:



    Step 2: Go to "Manage 3D Settings", under "Global Settings" tab, pick your better video card under the "Preferred graphics processor:" dropdown.

    Original Settings:


    Final Settings:


    ATI Fix (No Screenshots):

    Open your catalyst controller (or equivalent graphics controller) and change the switchable graphics to manual (this willl make your screen go funny, but don't worry), click on the Power option, switchable graphics, select high performance GPU, funny screen again, run configure.exe again on the MOHAA games you have installed, and voila, Medal of Honor in all its glory!

    Intel Integrated Graphics Fix:

    If you don't have an ATI or Nvidia video card and have to use Intel's integrated graphics, try the following:

    Download these opengl fixes. To install, extract or copy bin/release/opengl32.dll to the MOHAA folder (NOT MAIN).[/B]

    Run MOHAA.

    Hope this helps.

    Some laptops don't have any dedicated GPU, only an Intel HD one.
    It's very difficult to get mohaa working with those kind of integrated GPU, because they have no support for opengl aplication prior to opengl 2 .
    I have tried many fix found on the internet, not all are working depending what kind of intel HD GPU/ Intel Drivers you have.
    I foung some opengl32.dll that can make the game run but with a lots of bugs and terrible performance.

    Btw it's not comon to newer i7 processors nor windows 7x64
    But it's for every computer that use an integrated Intel GPU

    Thanks for the share. I stickied this thread! BTW, HSB, do you not have the option to sticky threads? You should be able to as well, if not, then I will look over your permissions.

    Think I did have it James but coudnt see in the options

    Also just had this off Razer from LKW Clan may also help a few -:
    Maybe a bit late but just noticed this.



    Intel graphics DO support the game on laptops etc etc, the reason for the MOHAA STOPPED WORKING is your screen resolution in graphics....this happened to me a few times.

    Go into unnamed soldier and set the graphics up to suit you max screen resolution by adding this.

    seta r_customwidth "768"

    seta r_customheight "1366" (change these numbers to suit your max resolution for your pc or laptop or monitor)

    seta_r mode "-1"

    The mode is the main thing,..............when you look at you settings in the game waroom you will see -1, rather than 800x600 etc etc

    hum hum got to check this...

    Edit : Checked and it has absolutely no effect, i have an intel HD Graphics 3000 ( i5-2430M )
    Driver version : 8.15.10.2418 ( i've read on TMT that older driver can run the game properly without special fixes. )

    The only fix that work for me is GlDirect ( ownthemall post )

    Also a friend of mine an intel HD Graphics 4000 and can't run the game even with GlDirect (OpenGl subsystem error )
