Medal of honor allied assault windows 10
Hi Magua, I do have an old retail cd of Allied Assault myself. However – the version I use on my current Windows 10 Home machine is the “War Chest” version from gog. Should you buy the Gog version of the War Chest as a replacement for you retail discs? I would personally say go ahead and download the War Chest from Gog, and with a clean install of the game take a look at my earlier posts and links to get it going comfortably with resolution etc. The main important difference between Gog maybe Steam too and the original retail discs is that retail versions included a form of “Safe disc” drm.
Safe Disc is a very old form of drm and does not play too happily with Windows 10, or anything from Vista and above. In fact, in most cases the drm often causes crashes and various bugs.
There are methods to “disable” the offending drm from retail discs. Some are better than others, but they don’t always seem to work in my experience, and are not always worth it for the “cyber gymnastics” required for the vague possibility of may or may not work. So, the video you posted suggests using a “fixed”.
It is one option, but this is not always the cleanest of solutions, if it does work at all. And of course there is always the issue of where the altered.
In the end, for convenience and simplicity, the Gog version has no such drm. As a result it does not actually have these specific issues in the first place. It has been patched to be more compatible with modern versions of Windows “out the box” which removes a lot of issues from the start. This is not to say its the Gog version is perfect – it is still an old game so yes there are some issues un related to the drm like resolutions for modern widescreen etc.
But they can easily be resolved and the game can be played enjoyably and smoothly on a modern system. But the main reason for using gog was that being drm free, I could cheaply use one copy of the War Chest for two machines on my LAN.
This allowed for the co op campaign mod I wanted to try out with Allied Assault. Last edited by Iron Phoenix ; 25 Apr, pm. Incarnate View Profile View Posts.

That means you wont wander into a small workshop and find a gang of tank engineers equipped with rocket launchers, officers still carry pistols etc so it stays balanced.
Dogs can be made lethal by doing this, so I suggest default difficulty unless all players are familiar with the maps. Lastly, if you have all the dlc campaigns included in warchest edition , you may also play these campigns in co op mode. But additionally you can select russian player models and loadouts in addition to american, or just american with the standard campaign.
To anyone encountering bugs, or unable to launch the game with that or any other version – take a look here: Pcgamingwiki, is a great site that catalogues many older games along with fixes and workarounds to common problems as well as listing for example does a title use specific drm, is it widescreen compatable, etc.
It boils down to adding a few lines of text within the “unnamed solider. If you want the same resolution for regular deathmatch multiplayer, I believe there is a seperate folder in the game directory containing the multiplayer. Because the multiplayer is kind of like its own seperate app to singleplayer, the text resolution changes should also be done in that directory too, using the same method as above.

The retail discs for Allied Assault have safedisc drm which can cause problems with Windows 10 unless you look into specific work arounds – as some people here have wisely mentioned. If you are running a retail disc for whatever reason, then its going to have the drm. In that instance, your best bet probably would be using those kind of tweaks and edited.
Im not sure that Allied Assault is available on Steam at the moment either. However, for simplicity, you could consider the Gog “warchest” version? No drm, no registry tweaking, no cracked. However I dont know about online. I play Allied Assault on windows 10 home machines 64 bit , and the only issue I found was the resolution not supporting widescreen by default. But if resolution is an issue, that has a really easy fix I will dig up and post in a moment.
So to sum it all up, I think a really nice version for simplicity and compatability with modern hardware is the medal of honour warchest edition on gog. Last edited by Iron Phoenix ; 8 May, am. Also, there is a cool campaign co op mod for allied assault on mod db, did you know that?
If that happens there is some text at the end of the notification message that says: “We recommend you return to the download list and browse the links from there. When it asks if you want to over write, say yes. The installation will proceed automatically and complete the process itself.
Additional Notes All modification to the game files are strictly server side only. This should mean that it wont affect any of your progress if you are working through the single player campaign because this is in a “seperate box” from multiplayer mode even though they both share some of the same assets. But you can always back up your game saves to be sure:P Human players are able to join the hosted LAN match using the traditional in-game server browser method.
When the match is hosted, other human players join the selected map rotation. Originally designed and scripted for the single player campaign, copies of these maps have been made into multiplayer maps with the evil Nazi AI intact.
The standard difficulty setting will use the same amount of computer controlled enemies that the player encounters during the single player campaign mode. They are also set to be of equal toughness with identical weapons as found in these scenarios. Increasing the difficulty increases the number of nazi’s encountered and how cunning they are, in addition to their overall toughness in some instances however weapon loadouts remain the same.
That means you wont wander into a small workshop and find a gang of tank engineers equipped with rocket launchers, officers still carry pistols etc so it stays balanced. Dogs can be made lethal by doing this, so I suggest default difficulty unless all players are familiar with the maps. Lastly, if you have all the dlc campaigns included in warchest edition , you may also play these campigns in co op mode.
But additionally you can select russian player models and loadouts in addition to american, or just american with the standard campaign.
