Medal of Honor Airborne automatically selects a default graphical configuration that should be well-suited to your system's specifications. However, you may adjust the game's graphical configuration to suit your preference by opening the "Medal of Honor Airborne Setup". To access the "Medal of Honor Airborne Setup," click the "Start" button in the Windows taskbar, then click "Programs", then click "Electronic Arts", and then click "Medal of Honor Airborne" in Windows XP. In Windows Vista click the "Start" button in the Windows taskbar, then click "All Programs", then click "Electronic Arts", and then click "Medal of Honor Airborne." To achieve better performance, lower settings are recommended. ================================================================== Optimizing Multiplayer Performance ================================================================== The multiplayer experience can be greatly improved with better performance. To improve Performance, launch Medal of Honor Airborne Setup and set Post-Processing Effect s to Simple (if that option hasn t already been set for you). To yield the best improv ement in Performance, we recommend reducing your resolution. Again, to achieve better performance, lower settings are recommended. ================================================================== Known Issues ================================================================== You may experience problems attempting to run the game with a monitor set to "portrait mode"--that is, if your monitor is set to display content vertically instead of in a traditional 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio. Medal of Honor Airborne only supports monitors running in standard 4:3 modes or widescreen 16:9 modes. For users experiencing problems with Creative Sound Blaster Audigy cards running under Windows Vista it is recommended that they lower settings to improve performance. As of the date posted at the top of this ReadMe file, Windows Vista is compatible with ATI-based video cards with Radeon X1300 Pro chipsets and above, in addition to NVIDIA-based video cards with GeForce 6600 GT series chipsets and above. By extension, the game is compatible with these chipsets on Windows Vista machines. If you have an NVIDIA SLI or ATI Crossfire video cards setup, we recommend you not use the Force Split Frame Rendering option. This option actually degrades performance in Medal of Honor Airborne. NOTE: NVIDIA SLI and ATI Crossfire modes are not supported in Medal of Honor Airborne.

If you are having audio problems with SigmaTel sound cards, download the latest drivers and adjust your audio settings. NOTE: SigmaTel sound cards are not supported in Medal of Honor Airborne. ================================================================== Multiplayer Information ================================================================== When attempting to play Medal of Honor Airborne online, please note that the minimum character length for your "Online ID" is four characters. If you attempt to login with a nickname that is three characters or less, the "Login" button will remain inactive. Please also note that the maximum allowable length of an Online ID is 15 characters, and you cannot start your Online ID with any non-alphabet character. You are allowed to create one online account per CD key. ================================================================== NAT/Firewall ================================================================== It should also be noted that certain Belkin and Netgear routers have irresolvable issues specifically when attempting to connect to each other. If you are playing Medal of Honor Airborne behind a software firewall, you will need to add the game's executable to the "Exceptions or Allowed Programs" list provided by your software firewall. You will need to provide your software firewall with the actual path to the game's executable. This file is typically located in "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Medal of Honor Ai rborne\UnrealEngine3\Binaries\MOHA.exe". There should be no need for you to use Port Forwarding/Port Triggering to play the game behind your firewall. Medal of Honor: Airborne should work successfully behind most personal firewalls. Medal of Honor Airborne uses UDP port 10000 If you are experiencing general NAT connection difficulties, exit the game, rest art the game, and log back into your account. Additionally, if you are using a combination of a cable modem and a router, you should contact your ISP/cable provider in order to disable your modem's built-in firewall. If you are experiencing connection difficulties with your router, forward Port 1 0000. If your router supports UPnP then try turning it on. The following routers have connection difficulties and are not supported: LinkSys WRT54GX4 Netgear WGT624

NetGear WGR614v7 NetGear FV318 NetGear RP614v2 ================================================================== *Administrator Privileges ================================================================== Please note that you may not be able to add Medal of Honor Airborne to your software firewall's exceptions list if you are not logged in as an administrator in Windows.

To check and adjust your speaker settings if your operating system is Windows XP: 1. Click the "Start" button in the Windows taskbar. 2. Choose "Control Panel". 3a.
