How to Fix Medal of Honor 2010 Errors, Crashes, Freezes, and Bugs

Here we are again with some of the most frequent errors, freezes, crashes, and bugs faced by people while playing EA Medal of Honor 2010.

Medal of Honor 2010 launch was full of issues. Some got addressed with patches; however, you might still encounter a bug, error, or crash. Since it’s an old game and we won’t get any more patches, we must rely on workarounds and possible fixes.

In this Medal of Honor 2010 troubleshooting guide, we will discuss different issues you might face related to the game and how you can fix them.

FYI

It won’t be surprising if you are still playing this old Gem. Based on the need, we have made some formatting improvements and a couple of new fixes so that this guide can stay relevant even after all those years.

1. Medal of Honor 2010 Controls Bug

Started playing the game but the soldier automatically starts moving to a certain direction ?. Can’t change anything on the menu screen because of repeated up/down movements of cursor ?. This issue is arising because Medal of Honor 2010 automatically uses your controller, so if you have any controller plugged in, unplug the controller and the issue will be resolved.

2. “You Have Been Kicked From the Server” at Class Selection

If you face this while at Class selection screen of Medal of Honor, make sure you have Punkbuster installed.

3. Medal of Honor 2010 Crashes and Freezing

If you are facing random crashes and game freezes while playing Medal of Honor Operation Anaconda, try running the game in DirectX 9 or 10. It happens because DirectX settings are set to auto.

  • Go to C:\Users\\Documents\EA Games\Medal of Honor MP
  • Open settings.ini file with any text editor be it notepad.
  • Now change DxVersion=Auto to DxVersion=10. If you want to run the game in DirectX 9, change the respective number, change 10 to 9 or 11.

5. Medal of Honor 2010 Crash to Desktop

  • Go to C:\Users\\Documents\EA Games\Medal of Honor MP
  • Open “settings.ini” and change “DxVersion” from “auto” to “9”. Also try running the game as admin in Windows Vista SP2 compatibility.

If you can’t resolve this crash whatsoever, then the only solution is to Open “settings.ini” and, under [WindowSettings], change fullscreen=”true” to fullscreen=”false” and play the game windowed for the time being.

6. Medal of Honor 2010 Freezes

If your Medal of Honor is randomly freezing, update your video card drivers will resolve this issue. On the side note, make sure your processor usage percentage is normal and you have enough available virtual memory to support/run the game smoothly.

7. Medal of Honor Low Performance Issues

The only probable reason is that the DirectX is set to auto and cause failure of graphics results, set it 9 or 10 manually and everything will be resolved.

8. Game Crashes After the Round is Over

Seems to be a problem with the crossfire guys mostly, if you are one of them, only solution to this issue is starting the game in DirectX 10. Or if it still persists, run it on one GPU.

9. Medal of Honor 2010 Xbox 360 Controller Fix

Apparently Xbox 360 controller on PC doesn’t go well with the Medal of Honor, turning and strafing commands are conflicting with each other. It seems like gamepad programming tab is broken in game, which makes the controller enable to work with the game on PC. There is also problem with the right stick sensitivity, it’s just too much to control or move player. You can try utilities like Xpadder to make it work, worth a try. I have been searching around for past two days now for the probable fix but no luck, will update once I have it.

10. Medal of Honor Blue Screen of Death

If you face BSOD, there are probable reasons for that. You are low on memory, virus, system drivers, overclocked PC heated up, or your power supply has gone bad. Checking every possibility may resolve this for you.

11. Can’t Join Any Server “Windows Vista/Windows 7”

If you are unable to join any server and you are on Windows Vista/ Windows 7, run the game as administrator to resolve this issue. It can be other connection issues reported above, but maybe you are one of the lucky guys who will have it resolved by running the game as admin.

12. Medal Of Honor 2010 Graphics Bugs

  • Update your drivers
  • Backdate your drivers
  • Running Crossfire or SLI?, Disable it.
  • If you have Overclocked your PC or video card? Back it down to stock.
  • Try a different resolution.
  • Play around with all the settings, one by one, see if there is a specific one that’s causing problems.
  • Make sure your card can handle the game and is not overheating they all may be due to overheating.

13. Connection Interrupted “EA Servers are not currently unavailable”

The problem faced by Steam users is that whenever they click Server Browser, this error pops up saying ea servers are currently unavailable. Close the Steam, and re-run it and now join the server and you will be able to enter into match.

14. Medal of Honor 2010 White Screen

Not really a common error but if you are someone at the receiving end, experiencing this error on loadout screens, update your graphic card drivers, directx and other hardware drivers.

15. Game Freezes on Server Login Screens

If you are game is freezing on server login screens or other instances while loading map or enter into the match server. It’s time to update your video card drivers.

16. Black Menu Music and Mouse Only

You start the game, and you can hear music and see the mouse. All else is a black screen. Another issue related to Steam, fix it by turning off the Steam community overlay for the game. In your Library, right-click on Medal of Honor and go to properties. The menu that pops up should have a check box with the option “Enable Steam Community In-Game.” Uncheck it and try again.

17. How to Uninstall Medal of Honor MP Beta

If your previous installation of Medal of Honor MP beta is getting in the way to install this game, just go to control panel and uninstall it. If you installed the beta through steam, and can’t see the beta in library.
Now, go to the installation directory and start the exe, it will give you an error as the beta is over, but now that you have done that, game shows up in the library. Right click and select to delete local content, to remove the beta from your system.

18. Multiplayer Stats not Saving

If you played multiplayer and stats didn’t save, log out, and log in back and the stats would show up. It’s not that stats are not being uploaded to ea servers but its the local client bug that is not showing the stats.

19. MOH SP Exe Doesn’t Start

Go to your game directory and run moh.exe as admin. If you bought the game off steam, go to game directory:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\medal of honor\Binaries

Right-click on moh.exe and choose run as administrator.

21. Medal of Honor SP/MP High Mouse Sensitivity

Find MouseSensitivity=x.xxxxxx

Change it to a value that suits you and Save.

Every time you want to change the sensitivity, you must close the game down and then restart it to apply the settings.

If you want to change the sensitivity for MP game, go to “GameSettings.ini”, in Documents/EA Games/Medal of Honor/Multiplayer/ and turn acceleration off.

22. How to Skip Intro Videos

If you want to skip the intro videos at startup for both Singleplayer and Multiplayer parts of the game, follow the instructions below.

Multiplayer

  • Download this archive.
  • Extract the contents to this directory: medal of honor\MP\Output\win32\movies
  • Click yes to overwrite.

Singleplayer

  • Navigate to this directory: medal of honor\MOHAGame\CookedMovies\movies
  • Rename MOHA_Legal_ID_Only.vp6 to MOHA_Legal_ID_Only.vp6.bak

Back Up first, before you go ahead to change the files.

23. Medal of Honor fov fix

The Field of View (fov) of some players starts to show errors in multiplayer and single-player modes. To fix this issue, simply go to the following file

My Computer> Documents > EA Games > Medal of Honor > Singleplayer/Multiplayer

Inside the folder, you will see a settings file. Right-click and open it with Wordpad. Go all the way down to ‘FOV=xx’. Write any other number higher than the one already next to fov, save it, and then run the game to test it out. It will take you some time to find the right fov but I recommend trying 80 as that is what most people go for.
