MOHAA crashing with Epox8KHA+/Radeon 8500

[Accreta]

SOMEONE HELP!! I posted this over in Video too, but I thought you guys in here might help too!

My gracious wife bought me MOHAA for my birthday, but I can't play it!! ARG!

I just installed a new mobo, processor and memory, hoping to boost my performance. However, MOHAA crashes anytime I try to load from the missions screen.

Here's what happens. I load MOHAA. I see the EA intro screen. I see the opening scene for the game (looks great!!). I get to the main menu fine. I go to the missions screen. I click on "training" and it begins to load. Somewhere in the middle of loading.... it crashes! I get this blurry, fuzzy error message that I can't read.

Any ideas?

My rig is listed below... the easiest thing to blame is my Radeon 8500....

Anyone got some good hints on BIOS settings for an Epox 8KHA+ board running the Radeon 8500??

MOHAA has the habit under XP to flash a network sth window every time you load training or a new game and gets stuck there. If this is your trouble just press Escape button an d it will load normally. Hope I helped....

Great game BTW:

Tried latest vid. drivers? Patch for the game?

I have the Epox 8KHA+ board as you, but have Ti200.....

Once again great game, just wished there was more and more to it, never ending.....

Normally that's a problem w/the video drivers. Try and d/l the newest drivers because I think it uses OpenGL too. I too love that game ... good luck!

Do you have problems in other games or regular applications???

have you guys used the OpenGL program that comes with MOHAA?? It's that link to a website that tries to set up OpenGL for you... i have not used it.

are there any special settings for the Radeon 8500?
