Title: Everything is messing up in soldat
Post by: Kaabi on July 04, 2007, 11:46:00 am
I don't know what is wrong.  So many things are going wrong, I can't even play anymore!  First, I put that BattlEye fix in my soldat folder but I still get kicked from games for no reason.  Second, often when I request servers nothing happens, and I have to try multiple times.  Third, 80% of the servers I get have pings of 9999 and I can't join them, and out of the remaining 20%, I get kicked from 10% of them for no reason, and then 5% are these Deathmatch games with "No limit" that just go on forever and I hate them, and then lots of games are full of stupid bots and no real people.  It's been a long time since I've genuinely enjoyed a game of soldat, what's wrong?

did you actually install the update?

u13 is messed up, so it isn't worth playing.

What update? I downloaded 1.4.1 from here:

http://www.soldat.pl/download.html

And I also put that BattlEye patch in the folder but it doesn't do nothing.

Did you put the version.txt file into your Soldat folder as well? It came along with the update.

What with everyone saying that they put the battle eye update in the soldat folder? I just ran the exe and it did what it needed to. I have no problems.


Edit: Wait.... are people coping the patch exe into their soldat folder without running it thinking that thats how you update it?

I've had a few connection problems including having to retry requesting servers. A very odd problem I had was yesterday on a #frac server, where I was unable to disconnect from the server, then later after a few tries kept connecting on with 2 gosteks - 1 red, 1 blue on a CTF map. It resulted in getting kicked. But that coulda been more of a problem on the server end.

The biggest headache for me is when servers change maps. Almost always I get the "wrong map version detected" error. When I connect back onto the same server, everything is fine until next map change when it happens again.

Otherwise Soldat is running like a charm and Battleeye hasn't given me much grief well unless it causes the wrong map thing, but I can live with that until the next version comes out.

There was only a zip file at first; my installer was added after a week or two. So probably not.

Where is this version.txt file?  And I forgot to actually run the BattlEye update, lol, I just put it in the folder.  Maybe that should fix stuff.

Ah, ignore my post then. I was assuming you did the manual install, before Toumaz made his installer.

That's why people need to start doing the [SOLVED] thing in their thread subjects in here after its been solved. But I think that's been mentioned before.

So, it's good that it was just something that you forgot and not something more serious.
