|
||
|
||
These patches are required to connect to multiplayer servers and ensure a smooth, bug-free single-player experience.
|
||
|
||
## Downloading/installing OpenMoHAA
|
||
|
||
Ensure that you download the binaries compatible with your platform in the [releases](https://github.com/openmoh/openmohaa/releases/latest) section.
|
||
|
||
### Which release should be downloaded?
|
||
|
||
It depends on the OS that is installed on your device:
|
||
|
||
|OS |Kind of hardware (CPU, platform...) |Archive
|
||
|---------|-------------------------------------------|-----------------------
|
||
|Windows |AMD/Intel |`*-windows-x64.zip`
|
||
|Windows |Qualcomm/Snapdragon (ARM-based) |`*-windows-arm64.zip`
|
||
|macOS |Apple Silicon (ARM) |`*-macos-arm64.zip`
|
||
|macOS |Intel |`*-macos-x86_64.zip`
|
||
|Linux |AMD/Intel |`*-linux-amd64`
|
||
|Linux |Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 |`*-linux-arm64`
|
||
|
||
Once the correct archive was downloaded:
|
||
|
||
a) Extract the archive<sup>1</sup> to your MOHAA installation directory.
|
||
|
||
-or-
|
||
|
||
b) Extract the archive<sup>1</sup> somewhere on your hard drive, create a shortcut to each of the **launch_openmohaa_\*** executables (or omohaaded.exe), and set the shortcut's 'Start in' directory to your MOHAA installation directory.
|
||
|
||
Once you're ready, start one of the three launchers based on whether you want to play the base game, Spearhead, or Breakthrough, and then you can start playing.
|
||
|
||
----
|
||
|
||
**Notes:**
|
||
|
||
1. For servers, only the `omohaaded.*` and `game.*` binaries from the archive are required.
|
||
|
||
## Appendix
|
||
|
||
### Cleaning up the game installation directory
|
||
|
||
If you want to clean up the mohaa installation directory by keeping only what is needed for OpenMoHAA, the following files/directories can be kept:
|
||
```cpp
|
||
[MOHAA]
|
||
├── [main]
|
||
| ├── [sound]
|
||
| ├── [video]
|
||
│ ├── Pak*.pk3 // all pak files
|
||
├── [mainta]
|
||
| ├── [sound]
|
||
| ├── [video]
|
||
│ ├── pak*.pk3 // all pak files
|
||
├── [maintt]
|
||
| ├── [sound]
|
||
| ├── [video]
|
||
│ ├── pak*.pk3 // all pak files
|
||
├── All files from the OpenMoHAA archive
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Extracting GOG setup file on Linux and macOS
|
||
|
||
If your MOH:AA copy was acquired from GOG then this section will be relevant.
|
||
|
||
The MOH:AA Warchest installer files on GOG are Windows binaries. To attain the game files, you can quickly extract them using [Innoextract](https://github.com/dscharrer/innoextract).
|
||
|
||
- Install Innoextract using your preferred Package Manager (e.g. [Brew](https://brew.sh/)).
|
||
|
||
- Once installed run the command `innoextract setup_medal_of_honor_2.0.0.21.exe`. The MoH:AA game files will be extracted into a folder called 'app'.
|
||
|
||
Alternatively, you can use [WINE](https://www.winehq.org/) as well, but this process may take longer if you do not already have WINE installed and configured.
|
||
|
||
### Obtaining a demo version
|
||
|
||
Alternatively, free demo versions are available online. Here are the links to the demos:

## Ports and other systems
|
||
|
||
OpenMoHAA is officially supported on Windows, Linux and macOS. Below is a list of unofficial open-source ports that required custom modifications to the OpenMoHAA source code to build and run:
|
||
|
||
- https://github.com/Rinnegatamante/openmohaa
|
||
|
||
To stay up to date with the latest features and fixes from the official repository, these ports depend on their respective maintainers to synchronize changes with the main OpenMoHAA codebase.
