Re: Medal of honor Allied Assault, can't launch expansions.

I cant boot any of them anymore, not only does it not show spearhead and breakthrough listed in origin, when i click play on allied assault it attempts to boot after i click boot in safe mode, then it closes after showing a grey screen.  i suppose there is some sort of workaround, but this is just unfortunate, i played these fine some time last year, now the entire game doesn't work.

    Hi everyone, 

    Apologies for the delayed response on this. 


    It looks like a fix for this issue went out some time ago. Has anyone run into this same problem recently? 

  • Hi Kent, I recently got the Warchest via EA Play. Initially I could get Allied Assault to launch, but now I cannot launch ANY of the games. Allied Assault and both Expansions crash and fail to launch. I've repaired, ran as admin, ran in compatability for Windows 8, 7, and XP, and in the game's "Safe Mode" option it gives after it fails to start. This game simply does not work on Windows 10.

  • Hi Kent,

    The fix that you're referring to... Is there a link you can provide?

    @EA_Kent  I have just installed the latest version of the EA app, and I can confirm that Medal of Honor Allied Assault expansions can't be launched. The EA app also keeps showing the wrong version of Allied Assault. I have the Warchest edition, but EA app keep showing that I have the standard edition. However, the two expansion packs show in the add-on menu, but they can't be launched from the EA app or even from the executable file.

    Also, there is a new serious issue affecting NVIDIA users where the game crash on startup claiming that it is related to a file called (nvoglv32.dll) which is related to NVIDIA GPU driver.

    Thanks a lot for your assistance.

    @Minimike96 @NATAS-FO-NWAPS Please install a much older NVIDIA driver, and it will work. I have just installed NVIDIA Game Ready driver 516.94, and the game finally launches now. Even the expansions now launch but not directly from EA app as it was in Origin. You have to open the game folder and launch them from the executable files for Spearhead and Breakthrough.

  • June, 26, 2023: My Medal of Honor War Chest was working on Windows 11 until the Nvidia driver was updated in April 2023.  Following the previous reply, I rolled back the driver to an older one.  I chose a driver a Windows 11 GTX 1050ti on Dell XPS8930 from before 2023.

    The drive roll back worked.  Medal of Honor is now working on the EA App on my desktop.

  • @tomdlt296 I'd rather not rollback. I'll play other games in the meantime until there is an official fix.

    Just commenting here to show this is a widespread problem that needs to be fixed as soon as possible.

    The game will not launch from EA play.

    Yea this is just embarrassing for EA. I had to buy the war chest from another company to get it to work. EA is a scam artist.
