Important Notes:
-Health Packs and Canteens
Make sure to either walk into or center your view on and
activate the "use" key on these items when in need of
health. Health packs are rectangles with a red cross and
restore a large amount of health. Canteens also have a
red cross on them and restore a small amount of health
and can often be found atop eliminated Germans.
-Mounted Machine Guns
There are several mounted machine guns that you can walk
up to an activate with the "use" key. To stop using the
mounted gun, type the "use" key again.
-QuickSave
QuickSave is an important feature that allows you to save
a game by hitting the "F5" key on you keyboard. After
dying you will restart at the point of your last
QuickSave (or AutoSave). This will help the player save
their progress, especially after any tough part of the
demo.
-AutoSave
At various points in the demo level the game will
AutoSave. This prevents the player from having to start
all the way back at the beginning of the level or at the
spot of their last save game.
-Secondary Attack
Two weapons use the secondary attack. Sniper Rifle zooms
with Secondary Attack. Grenades are thrown a much shorter
distance with Secondary attack.
-Binoculars
In some situations, the Binoculars can be used to call
in an Air Strike in the event you run out of Panzerschreck
shells. Simply bring up the Binoculars and put the target
in your sights, then hit the Primary Attack button. Within
a short amount of time, an Allied plane will destroy the
target.

==================================================================
Installing DirectX 8.0
==================================================================
If you declined to install DirectX 8.0 when initially installing
Medal of Honor Allied Assault, you can directly run
"dxsetup.exe", located in the DirectX directory on the install
CDROM. This is found on demo disc under the "redist\directx8"
folder. Just double-click on "dxsetup.exe".

==================================================================
Improving Gameplay Performance
==================================================================
Some machines will benefit from experimenting with your
video/sound options:
- From the Main Menu choose the "Options" menu signified
by some electronic equipment towards the left side on
the table. Then select the "Video" menu, select "Texture
Detail" and choose "LOW". This is particularly useful
for computers with less than 128 MB of RAM.
- Also from the "Video" menu, uncheck the "WALL DECALS"
check box. This will prevent the game from creating
bullet marks on walls and should improve performance.
- Try reducing your video resolution to 640x480 or even
512x384 in your "Video" menu. The lower the resolution,
the easier it is for your computer to run the game.
- From the "Video" menu you can try lowering your color
depth from 32 to 16 bit.
 - Video cards with less than 64MB Video memory cannot set
texture detail to high and texture color depth to 32 bit
simultaneously. These cards can get very poor
performance at times, so lower your texture detail
and/or lower your texture depth to 16 bit.
- From the "Advanced" menu under the "Options" menu try
turning the "SHADOWS" down to "simple" or "none".
- In Advanced Video Options you can change your View
Model. This allows one to choose how much of their own
player model is shown.
NONE means player's arm and weapon will not appear.
GUN ONLY means the gun and not the arms of Powell will
appear.
FULL means that you will see both Lt. Powell's hands
and the weapon he is holding during gameplay. The less
of Lt. Powell that is showing, the faster the game
should run.

==================================================================
Troubleshooting
==================================================================
Safe Mode
Safe mode can be accessed from the "MOHAA Safe Mode" link in
your "Start" menu. It is provided as a means of isolating the
cause of problems you may have with sound or video card drivers.
When launching with safe mode, you can disable 3D video
accelerator support or hardware support for sound cards in its
menu.
DirectX 8.0
It is highly recommended that you install DirectX 8.0 during
Medal of Honor Allied Assault install, as DirectX 8.0 is
known to resolve a number of video card and other issues. Previous
versions of DirectX are not fully supported.
Video Card Drivers
Some video card drivers do not support OpenGL correctly. Typical
problems that may occur with these drivers include:
- Crashing on starting up
- Crashing when changing video resolutions
- Corrupted textures
- Artifacts on screen
- Unexpected bright flashing on screen
- Unusually slow performance.
The solution is to go to your video card manufacturer's website
and download updated drivers for your card. It is highly
recommended that, given an option, you download and install
Microsoft-certified (WHQL) drivers.
3Dfx Menu fix:
Go into the Options menu from the main menu. Then choose the
"Advanced" menu. Check the "3DFX MENU FIX" checkbox and click
the "Apply" button. This will fix the problem of the menu being
corrupted when running with a 3Dfx Voodoo3, 4 or 5 card.
Video Resolution of 1600x1200:
A resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels is not fully supported and has
been found to have problems with various video cards. If the game
crashes you can run in safe mode and adjust your resolution back
to a stable and desirable setting.
Sound Card Drivers
Diamond Monster Sound MX 400
How to fix the MX 400 for use by Medal of Honor Allied Assault:
1) Exit from MoHAA if you are running Medal of Honor
Allied Assault.
2) Open up the "Diamond Monster Sound" utility from
the toolbar; this is a small red and white icon
near the clock.
3) Make sure the "Enable DirectSound Acceleration"
checkbox is off.
4) Click on the "Apply And Exit" button. You should
be able to run MoHAA without a problem.

==================================================================
Other Issues
==================================================================
Keyboard Controls:
Some PC keyboards cannot recognize certain combinations of 3 or
more simultaneously pressed keys. This is an inherent problem
unrelated to Medal of Honor Allied Assault.
Advanced Console Commands from the Advanced Options menu:
By default the advanced console will not be available
unless the option is checked in the "Options" menu. From this
console you will be able to make advanced console commands. The
normal console is active by default.
Texture Compression from Video menu:
Texture compression has been disabled for the demo but is in the
full version of the game. In the demo it appears on the Video menu
but is missing a checkbox.
