It's not whether you live or die but how you played the game that counts.

Have you tried uninstalling your game and re installing it??
Let us make war, since evidently, you have found peace intolerable.

Video drivers

Post by Paul.nz »

I just did a search for the same problem you are having and it is happening in a lot of games.Firstly i would upgrade your video card drivers.Download the latest one for your card then uninstall the old ones then install the new ones.Also a few people say to check your settings in game eg open gl/3dfx etc but i cant remember is moh has that.
It looks like the game is actually loading and crashing when it trys to set your video 3dfx settings so it defaults back to normal and crashes.I hope this works but if it dosn't post back and i am sure the wise players can get you going again.

It's your video card drivers. For sure.

Viper is right though it does look like your missing packs but it would give you a different error if that was the case.

In 2002 when I bought my first computer and installed MOHAA that was the first error I encountered. Its your video card drivers.
