Does anyone know if MoHAA is cross platform? By that I mean can you play with guys with windows machines on a Lan network.
Before I bought the game from Aspyr I ask them if it was and they said yes. But when I tried to join in on a game last night my machine just couldn't see the server. I tried everything I know and it was still no good.
The other "Window" players were using a "cracked" version of the game and so were not using disks in there machines, could this have something to do with it?

I've got a iMac flat panel by the way, running OSX 1.5 and my version of MoHAA is 1.12

you should be able to play with windows players no problem..
be sure the windows server has been upgraded to the most recent windows version (1.10 I think).

can you ping to the server box?

I'll ask about the version they are running. As to whether or not I can "ping to the server box" I'm not sure. If by the server box you mean the box with all the lights that the Lan cables pug into all I can say is that there were six of us connected and there were six lights on. Is "pinging to the box" a process I can go through that will see if I'm connected? If it is I do not know how to do it?

By the way thanks for replying to my message.

if you are in OSX.
go to your utilities folder and open the "network utility"
Click on the Ping tab and enter the servers IP address, then click ping.
it should tell you if you pinged successfully. like so:

PING 10.0.1.204 (10.0.1.204): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 10.0.1.204: icmp_seq=0 ttl=128 time=35.833 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.1.204: icmp_seq=1 ttl=128 time=0.356 ms

if it doesn't, you have a network problem, not a MOH problem.

Thanks Corys
I guess that's why you're a senior member and I'm only a junior. Next time I see the guys I'm ping for all I'm worth.

What a POS!!!
Anyone know if it's possible to make this game stable on a Dual800
Sometime I can't go more than 5 minutes without a crash. Game will crash on the cut scenes, middle of the level, loading the level.
I have updated the program, might actualy be worse now.
Dual800/GF4/1.1gigs of ram

Dear OSX Abuser

I'm not sure that your reply actually follows this string's topic BUT I agree with you.

On OSX this game is a dud. I'm too afraid to run it because it locks up my machine so badly I have to turn it off and re boot. I contacted Aspyr and they told me to update OSX, I was running OSX 1.4, so I though how up to date do they expect people to be, my machine (flat panel iMac, 700mhz, 640 ram) was one month old at the time?
Never the less I updated to OSX 1.5, reinstalled the game and trashed the preferances as they suggested. It made no difference the game was still awful. It crashed, it was jerky, it just did not play well.

I gave up running it on OSX and went to OS9.2.2 Wow what a difference. I gave it lots of memory and it runs like a dream, its quick, smooth and has not crashed.

Give classic a go.

I'm sorry about being a little off topic with my rant.....
The game actually ran very well under OSX 1.5
It would just crash at times. (level loads, middle of levels)
I think it looks better under OSX, just unstable as hell
The game never forced a hard restart though, it would just crash to the desktop.
