Medal Of Honor Allied Assault Widescreen Fix %21%21better%21%21 Today

Set:

seta r_aspectratio "1"

(1 = widescreen, 0 = 4:3.)

The Quake III engine calculates FOV based on a 4:3 vertical lock. To get true Hor+ (Horizontal plus) widescreen without vertical clipping, you must force the engine to calculate a wider angle using a specific formula, then lock the UI scale independently.

The Golden Formula for MOHAA: cg_fov = 2 * arctan( tan(90 degrees / 2) * (4/3 aspect ratio) / (target aspect ratio) )

For practical purposes:

Add this to autoexec.cfg:

seta ui_menufov "90"
seta ui_console "0"
seta r_greyscale "0"

If still tiny, use +set ui_scale 1 in launch options.

To fix the widescreen resolution in Medal of Honor: Allied Assault (MOHAA) Set: seta r_aspectratio "1"

, you must manually edit the game's configuration file, as the in-game menu does not natively support modern widescreen aspect ratios. Step 1: Locating and Preparing the Config File

Launch and Quit: Start the game and then immediately exit. This ensures the configuration file is generated.

Find the Folder: Go to your game's installation directory. The standard path for the GOG version is typically:...\Medal of Honor Allied Assault\main\configs\.

Open the File: Locate unnamedsoldier.cfg. Right-click it and open it with Notepad or Wordpad.

Note: If you are playing the expansions (Spearhead or Breakthrough), you may need to edit the configs in their respective folders: mainta\configs and maintt\configs. Step 2: Applying the Widescreen Fix

Scroll to the bottom of the file and add or modify the following lines with your monitor's specific resolution:

seta r_customwidth "1920" seta r_customheight "1080" seta r_mode "-1" Use code with caution. Copied to clipboard

r_mode "-1": This critical command tells the game to ignore its standard presets and use your custom dimensions. (1 = widescreen, 0 = 4:3

Resolution: Change 1920 and 1080 to match your screen (e.g., 2560 and 1440 for 1440p). Step 3: Fixing the Field of View (FOV)

Setting a widescreen resolution without adjusting the FOV will result in a "zoomed-in" or cropped image.

Enable Console: While still in the config file, ensure you have seta ui_console "1" and seta developer "1" added.

Change FOV In-Game: Once in a mission, press the tilde (~) key and type:fov 106 (for 16:9 monitors) or fov 121 (for 21:9 monitors).

Warning: You may need to re-enter this command at the start of every new level or transition. Troubleshooting common issues

Settings Resetting: Do not change any resolution settings in the in-game options menu after applying these fixes, or they will be overwritten.

Blurry Graphics: If the game appears blurry or incorrectly scaled on Windows 10/11, right-click the game's executable (mohaa.exe), go to Properties > Compatibility, and check Override high DPI scaling behavior.

Unofficial Patch: For a more automated fix, consider installing the MOHAA Unofficial Patch which includes built-in widescreen support and modern compatibility fixes. If still tiny, use +set ui_scale 1 in launch options
