MOH:AA crashes HARD!
Most important question:
On occasions Medal of Honor crashes REALLY hard. It even crashes OSX. I'm running MOH v1.12 and OSX.2.3 on a G4 iMac, 700MHz, geforece 2 mx 32mb, on 640Mb of RAM. My hard disk is partitioned into 3, OSX, OS9, and the one with MOH on it. Any ideas how to sort this out...
Plus, what do you think of these specs for an iMac, cos MOH runs quite badly, even when I set texture colour depth to 16bit like it says in the manual. Surely i should be able to run it on fairly high settings.
Second question:
I've played the game through without cheats, now i wanna play with um. So... i activate the cheats and type in 'wuss' and i get all the weapons. I whip out my BAR for a laugh, but no sound! It seems that the game only loads sounds for weapons that are naturally used in each level. This seemed a bit odd, cos i've played MOH on a PC and all the sounds were there on levels thats didn't use the weapons. Can i force the game to load the sound files through the console?
First question is much more important than the second.
Thanks.

Re: MOH:AA crashes HARD!
you NEED more RAM, dont know if it will solve it, but it will make things run faster. you need to at least double it.

Re: MOH:AA crashes HARD!
What games don't crash your iMac? 
Theres definately something wrong with her..
Red faction crashed it, Alice, MOH, Myth 3, Otto-matic? Quake 3? And all of them in X... you did wipe + partition it recently, didn't you? It has crashed suspiciously often. Might it be a bad RAM chip?
Peace

Re: MOH:AA crashes HARD!
i used techtool on my RAM and it didn't flag up anything...
alice crashed in X.1, myth III still crashes, red faction crashed loads and eat my hard disk... but in 9 onl, otto-matic did once... quake III and starcraft are about they only games that my iMac can run with any kind of stability.

Re: MOH:AA crashes HARD!
Has your iBook ever crashed in X? It's just strange that your iMac does crash so often (neither my iMac or iBook ever crashed in X). Is it only games?
Much of the weirdness

Re: MOH:AA crashes HARD!
I would say bad ram chip...my g4 800 crashed with every game when i had 1024 mb of ram 
It turns out the cheap so dimm ram I bought was causing it. Try removing all the ram that you installed (for a test) and only keep the original ram inside...might help. Btw, after removing (now have 512 sdram that was from apple) never ever crashed...decided to stay away from cheap ram.
Signiture goes here. OOOPS!
