MOHAA & Network window?

[YATLA]

Just bought MOHAA this weekend and really like it, but every time I load a game, a blank window with title "network conncetions" opens up and just sits there for about a minute then clears and the game works fine. How do I get rid of this? I uninstalled the SPY....software which I thought was for multiple player (I am just using single player), and I reinstalled MOHAA, but still have this window at the start. IS there some init file that I need to modify? Thx for any help.

Try patching the game to the latest version. I know when I got MOHAA it would sometimes trigger zone alarm when I started a single player game. Even worse, this would sometimes cause a crash. Patching the game fixed that problem, but you'll lose your saves. Also, it might be a big download if you have dialup, not sure because I'm spoiled by broadband.

Yuck, any ideas short of patching? I don't want to lose progress on missions completed and only have a modem connection.

Can't you just move the save files to another directory and move them back after patching? I do that alot on games.

OK, assume these are the files under ..\MOHAA\main\save\unnamedsoldier
directory?

You can get around this problem without having to install a patch.

When the Network window pops up press CTRL+ALT+DEL to bring up the windows task manager. Then highlight the Network connection activity and select 'End Task'. Then select MOHAA and select 'Switch To'. This should then return you to MOHAA. However, you might find that it isn't full screen - just press ALT+ENTER. It's also possible that even after you select 'Switch To' MOHAA, it doesn't seem to be the active window - if this is the case use just ALT+TAB until it's the active window and then ALT+ENTER if you need to maximise it.

Its' a bit annoying, but I can now do it in about 5 seconds, and you only have to do it once at the very start of playing.

Hope this helps,

Thanks, I was doing this with the task manager (though I don't have it down to a science as you do, nor as fast), but it seems abit ridiculous to do this when the game is started. Is this a common problem with MOHAA, and will a patch fix it?

Well, I downloaded the patch and it fixed the problem, just tired of messing with this every time.
