Whenever I play online, I sometime get a little logo at the bottom that says "Slow Server".  This isn't my question, nor is it a problem, since I have a dial-up 56K, so I don't expect puch.  The best ping for a game I've seen is ~278.  However, since updating with the 1.11 (I think, it was the one I saw at the Official Site) patch, I get that same little logo during offline play.  I don't know how to turn it off either.  Which is the question, how do I?

PS: Sorry if all these Medal of Honor posts are annoying.  I recently was reading some posts at a Command & Conquer forum, and the freindliness was comparable to a hungry Tyrannosaurus.  Thus I'm tending to post all my questions here. Embarrassed Roll Eyes

You cannot turn that little flashing thing off without having a fast computer and a very fast internet connection Wink

Me and my brother sometimes play the game over a LAN and it will sometimes flash 'slow server'. Usually turning down some graphic settings stops it

No, I think you've got the wrong idea.  Keyword here is offline.  As in your base 6 missions.  I'm not even connected when I get this little bugger.  Prepatch, everything was OK.  I run everything maxed out except subtitles and shadows (set to simple) and get some good frames.

Sorry, I didn't see the word 'offline' in your original post Embarrassed

Try turning some graphic settings in the game and see if it disappears

If it's any help my version gets unhappy if I'm online when I start and if I'm offline it tries to make me connect to the net.  When I tell it rather firmly not to it tends to behave.

Other than that I suggest un-installing and then re-installing and not bothering with the patch. If you can find where the game stores saved game data you shouldn't lose your place.

Hi 605,

I remember this issue with my MOHAA a while ago, I cured it by finding a little patch to remove the "Slow Server" tag.
Where I got it from I don't recall alas. I'm quite sure,however, if you type "MOHAA slow server fix" or similar into Google, I'm sure you'll find it after a few searches.
Regards, Paul.
