"Medal Of Honour AA" Mouse Problem/Dial Up Irritation

[Zak33]

I had this on Demo, now my mate has it on his Full Retail version.

If you got a Modem this is SO MADDENING. It asks to Dial Up, you say No, then you have to click the Window in the bottom and it either boots in Small Screen/Window mode OR the mouse is no go....

NASTY

OK this is how to get shot.

Either a: Disconnect Auto Connect so it doesnt dial up (Cntrl Panel,Internet Options, Connections Tab )

or b: Try leaving it, just sit back.......seems to load the game anyway and leaves the auto dial box open doing nothing!

One bloke just posted on a Forum about Clicking to shut it down and then just SITTING AND WAITING and when the game boots the screen comes back

Perhaps we are all too impatient!

hehe

Hope it helps someone!

It's a bug in the netcode - a legacy from the early Quake3 code they used as the basis of the game(if you remember the retail release of Quake3 did the same thing until it was fixed in one of the point releases).

Basically the game ALWAYS wants to get on the net, even if you're not playing multiplayer. If you have autodialup enabled in your Windows Internet settings, Windows will try to dial the Internet whenever ANY application requests a TCP/IP connection.

Until they fix it in a patch, the quick fix is to disable autodial - you'll just have to dial your ISP manually when you want to get on the internet.

In the demo, i just went to settings, and changed my resolution. This, in turn, refreshed your screen, then you could change it back. Faster than re-loading the game in my opinion.

if youre still having this problem, its been fixed in the 1.11 update
