Along with this release there is a new dedicated server version 2.6.2 available (download (http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=18614.0)). With new Script Core v2 by EnEsCe! Be sure to check the readme cause there are some changes in the scripts directory structure.
Not bugs:
Music playing after intro is a feature so you can listen to the music while browsing the menus.
If minimap is disabled on server you can still see the map overview, this is a feature introduced in 1.4.1.
Known issues:
Lobby server might need 2-3 request clicks to work. This is an issue that will be fixed later.
If there are any problems with fonts in the menu please restart the system after installation.
If there are any font problems or low FPS please turn on Video Compatibility in the Setup, if it is not the case please don`t turn it on.
If you experience freezing every 10 minutes on Vista turn Video Compatibility on.
Old demos are not compatible with this version.

-
dl the battleye update? :o
-
Nice MM :D
-
hey, i returned today from algarve and this is one super kickass news :D thanks MM great job
-
Amazing job, MM! Not all I have to do is wait for all my favorite servers to update to 1.4.2, but that's no problem. Keep it up!
You might want to sticky this thread: this is big news!
-
Yay no more fucking mid respawns and no more fucking invisible bullets!
-
YEA! Good job to all the beta testers and whoever were working with it. No offense, but thank god ctf_Conquest is gone...it made me lag a lot, and lowered my FPS.
-
well.. i get 2 access violation errors on the profiles screen (with this OK button)
-
YESH! Thanks michal ;)
-
lol it is my fault or why is the ordner name soldat131 and why soldat 1.4.1 on the startscreen o.O
-
Yeah! Nice job, MM.
-
For KC.
Alpha-teams base in Nuubia is totally kewled up, I mean the lowest part of it, behind the flag. It's bouncy as hell!
But away from that, well done!
-
I'm getting low fps caused by font problems again in linux, video compatibility/force software fail to help. Trying a wine update.
-
Good job MM an enesce and whoever else was involved. Ill download when im not lazy lol.
-
wow random :P.
Nice though, love the seamless server thing.
-
Thank you MM thank you <3
-
lol it is my fault or why is the ordner name soldat131 and why soldat 1.4.1 on the startscreen o.O
firstly, theres no such thing as an "ordner" in english .. its called a directory or a "folder" :P
secondly, If you called your old soldat directory "soldat131" and used the update.. then it does of course not rename your directory. you can however do that yourself without breaking anything, far as I know.
For KC.

yah ... I noticed that too, Im hoping one of the mappers will fix it within the day, already posted in beta forums...
-
Why was ctf_Conquest removed?
-
Why was ctf_Conquest removed?
Never question a good thing lol
-
Why was ctf_Conquest removed?
Never question a good thing lol
I liked that map!
-
Conquest was awesome, why remove it?
-
Alright...so i have a problem....when i start soldat i get a message as soon as it begins to start up an error window appears and states "could not initialize directx graphics" and the game then closes.
i need help and answers....i'm not a computer whiz like the most of you, so i will need some good explanation.
thx
-
Please do not post problems in this thread!
Post problems in your own thread, but only after browsing the help forums
-
Conquest was awesome, why remove it?
Too much polybugs.
-
Couldn't Keron just fix them?
Nice job btw.
-
Aaaaaight! Let's sheck it out! :D
-
Not to mention laggy as hell.
-
Check out my thread in "Report Bugs".
Btw, nice work Michal!
-
- Added seamless server support (switching servers in-game by server)
Sweeeeet :D
-
Couldn't Keron just fix them?
I tried to nail down as many as possible, but in the end it was apparently too "Polyworks-perfect"; the bounciness was caused by perfectly connected vertices, most of which could only be removed by drastically changing the terrain. Some of us also thought that ctf_Conquest just didn't "feel" like the true default rugged Soldat style :P
-
Thank you very much! Cool!
-
hooray...
-
Could someone pls post the weaponchanges from 1.4.1 -> 1.4.2 ?
-
Good work MM soldaaaaat!!
-
No weapon changes i dont htink, still working on it.
-
Kampf is still here awesome
-
Nevermind. I'm probably downloaded the wrong file last installation.
But now I get access violations continuously and the fonts arn't work right.
-
Well, my reg-key doesn't work anymore, even though I haven't shared it with anyone oO
-
digg it: http://digg.com/pc_games/Soldat_1_4_2_Released
-
Zzzzzzzzzz Again these useless patches. When are you gonna add the real patch everyone is waiting, that you can change your nick in-game.
-
Everything works fine on my machine and the new DM map is sweet. ctf_Conquest was one of the maps I didn't really like and it was a bit laggy on my "uber-computer", so I'm glad it was removed. Good work!
-
So... Is there a clear explanation of how a seamless server acts in real-action, how it works (set it up), example?
-
http://mm.soldat.pl/?p=18
-
That is not the seamless server he added to Soldat. I'll get him to explain what it is and how to use it
-
YEA FUCKING no more invisble bullets
But fucking more "eating" in REALISTIC/SURVIVAL between EUROPEANS and NA.
A SIMPLEST knife hit doesn't reg..
Nade hits just bounce him off 40 meters but doesnt hurt or kill him.
-
YEA ****ING no more invisble bullets
But ****ing more "eating" in REALISTIC/SURVIVAL between EUROPEANS and NA.
A SIMPLEST knife hit doesn't reg..
Nade hits just bounce him off 40 meters but doesnt hurt or kill him.
Hmm, let's see.. I'm pretty sure it's called lag or something like that.
-
That wasnt in 1.3.1, explain why its in 1.4.2 now?
-
OK...i got a problem and its making me mad...
(http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b33/555scott/Notworking.soldat.jpg)
whats this mean...i re installed it and downloaded it about 20 times now..can someone help me
-
That means you need type in d3dx81ab.dll download in the address bar then download that .dll and put it in the soldat folder i think...
-
Awesomeness, just in time for me to come back from vacation.
-
That means you need type in d3dx81ab.dll download in the address bar then download that .dll and put it in the soldat folder i think...
way to confusing......
-
Thanks for the hard work during all these years.
Unfortunately, this doesn't solve my problems with 1.4.X... looks like knife don't reg and disappear a lot too.
Oh well, back to 1.3.1 I guess.
Good job on trying to improve the game though.
Edit: also there seems to be a missing scenery-gfx which belong to Veoto: jplite.bmp.
Bleah, ugly map. Those maps didn't have to be official in my humble opinion. I hope MM was the only one to decide about that.
Keeping track of map changes drive me nuts.
-
How does the seamless server stuff works?
I read about it in your blog MM, and now it's in the changelog... so how do we use/setup it?
-
Will someone please help me on this problem..that one guy tried explaining it..but its too confusing!
-
Wow, that was pretty fast. Of course, you'll say "Demos from 1.4.1 are not compatible with 1.4.2", right? Does it have to be so hard to make a one movie from many versions?
-
|MC| Blaze: download it and put it in your Soldat folder: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=d3dx81ab.dll&btnG=Search
-
i clicked the first link and its got a scan thign running..its says its gonna take forever and im guessing im gonna have about a thousand problems....i made a topic in the problem/bugs section for it..sorry to post here but thanks..ill post when it done to know if it worked
-
o.o i was registered in 1.3-1.4.1 now i'm not.
-
...ahh, so that would be why I can't connect to the lobby.
Thanks for the update! It's a shame about ctf_Conquest needing to be removed, hopefully the new three maps are just as good or even better.
-
It's out! At last! Thankyou MM and crew!
-
nvm about the registration thing lol
-
nooo. i downloaded it and many servers are still in 1.4.1 era...why dont they change:( i cant enter
-
nooo. i downloaded it and many servers are still in 1.4.1 era...why dont they change:( i cant enter
Most don't know yet probably, best thing to do is wait till tomorrow.
-
what about spawn bug after changing teams from spec to alpha/bravo at survival servers? :|
-
YAY soldat 1.4.2 :D Go MM W00t now to wait for servers to update XD
-
OK...i got a problem and its making me mad...
(http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b33/555scott/Notworking.soldat.jpg)
whats this mean...i re installed it and downloaded it about 20 times now..can someone help me
You installed in the wrong folder. Find your Soldat folder and install it there, if you can't do it download the full installation.
-
Yes all very nice etc.
But that doesn't fix the major non registring in R/S between europes and na
-
I got a direct X error (ofc I got the newest) so I cant say much about this version.
-
hurraaa!! now I cant even play soldat because I cant get any servers (only tried on dads comp so far) may also be that the lobby server is down...
-
Is there somekind of 1.4.1-> 1.4.2 weapon balance list?
-
Is there somekind of 1.4.1-> 1.4.2 weapon balance list?
No balance change was made.
-
except for realmode.
-
thanks MM i thought that was the problem..but its all fixed ty anyways...now u need to help out on that acces violations lol
-
except for realmode.
Details ,please ?
-
Download it, installed it, and went to Mike's duckhunt in INF and got banned for posible cheating...WTF...
-
Hey just a quick question. I heard that you were going to do something to fix nuubia's red spawn because its so bugged. Is this true?
-
woohoo! start working on the 1.5 now! ;D (j/k)
-
I heard that you were going to do something to fix nuubia's red spawn because its so bugged. Is this true?
Yeah, along with some other annoying glitches that somehow worked their way through the maps. I think we're unsure as to how we'll update the maps tho'... possibly through the auto-updating system
-
......woot im tired of 1.4.2 whens the next version out :D lol j/k...its fun and i love it
-
I wonder who invented that trampoline in the Nuubia alpha base ^^
-
Yeah what's up with that...? Its funny when you see the health packs bounce all around.
-
Good job MM!
-
1.4.2 is bad :( best version is 1.3.1 in soldat :P
this soldat like star wars
weapons effects bla bla bla
-
- Fixed knife could be thrown while invincible after respawn
NO!!
Goddamnit. ;_;
-
/pwn everything that moves
Oh yeah!
-
- Fixed knife could be thrown while invincible after respawn
NO!!
Goddamnit. ;_;
agreed, I owned so many spawners with that.
-

yea...its bad enough getting spawned...that would make it worse...
-
Tnx MM ;D
-
some changes are unnecessary some neither, but still - its Soldat.
Personally, I can't understand ctf-conquest deleting (my fav map)...
about knife fix- i wasn't even know, that i can throw it just after spawn, so i don't care :D
-
the new version of soldat is cool i rly like it
-
Personally, I can't understand ctf-conquest deleting (my fav map)...
Conquest was awesome, why remove it?
Too much polybugs.
-
The new version is ok. Occasionally I would encounter someone that if I blew them to bits, my screen would freeze up and I would have this invisible or visible violations error. And sometimes I cant even talk because the errors pop up in CERTAIN maps. (One of the Trench Wars maps....) But overall, the update is great.
-
Am I the only one who had the Access Code Violation error already in the previous version ?
-
no i did also...its pain in the ass..check in the bugs section on ways that may help you fix it
-
The new DM Veoto map is plain awesome. Great gameplay ndeed
-
The new DM Veoto map is plain awesome. Great gameplay ndeed
You must be joking... This is one of the worst maps which have been added to the official release.
Too bad the new version still has lots of bugs. Good luck MM! ;)
The chainsaw still looks ridiculously long and those bullets, grawr can't get used to them. Ugly.
Also it seems I can't use unicode taunts anymore... weird.
And I'm feeling lonely now, playing 1.3.1...
-
Yeah, I didn't like Veoto either, but hey...
-
actually...i think leaf is the worst map ever..plain and simple lol..but thats not this version lol
-
Hmmm, thanks.
I hope I haven't missed something but whats with the crouch-while-reload-bug?
-
i have somethign somewhat similar i dunno if its bug or just put it..when u type u automatically stand up? has it always been like that?..maybe i never noticed
-

WHAT?! Explain please!
-
um....lol when you type you need to remove your hands from the crouch button....so when you type it isn't "sssssssss" and yes always been like that....also I've seen something I've never seen before people are taking one gun doing something then drop 2 guns...they are cloning guns idk if its a bug or hack though.....
-
we playtested Veoto for about half an hour and all the testers agreed it was great.
-
well, in my opinion, thaT map is good. Theres lots of space and lots of in-air action
-
and lots of spas places too. The map has one of the best gameplays I have ever seen.
-
Well,i like the new Soldat.
But some1 could help me with the ****ing registration?I cant register with the key and Im not registered anymore...I re-installed soldat 2 times now,nothing works...Please help,Im angry,10€...
EDIT:// FIxed.
-

well i changed mine cause my crouch is the down arrow key so it don't type anything and thats probably why i never noticed it
-
veoto is awesome
if you hate veoto you smell
-
we playtested Veoto for about half an hour and all the testers agreed it was great.
Can you consider inf_Undermine in the next version (if there is one)?
-
- Fixed knife could be thrown while invincible after respawn <- the worst update
-
- Fixed knife could be thrown while invincible after respawn <- the worst update
You an not shoot with weapons, you can not shoot with secondaries, but you could throw knife. WTF? Then they fix it and you say that it is the worst update?
-
who made the Swedish translation? there is some grammatical faults in it. as "Du tog självmord" where this would be translated to "you took suicide" while it is "you killed yourself" so it should be "Du dödade dig själv" also the team names was changed.
-

/me raises hand
"Du tog självmord" is indeed rather sloppily translated, but in my opinion that looks better considering the actual layout of the text in-game than the somewhat longer "Du dödade dig själv". If you really want it changed, then go for it. I also believe Skoskav looked over the entire Swedish translation since he's a beta tester and could check for overflowing texts. Skoskav was also the one who suggested me to translate the team names into the Swedish military designations. So, meh. Slightly surprised you didn't notice that earlier when that translation has been in there since 1.4, though.
-
yeah I havent tried on any other langauges untill now. anyhow "gå med i spel" should be "Anslut spel" well I may PM you a version of my translation so you can make it better for any future versions. also it should be "Du begick självmord" :). but I have some difficulties to find a word for return and capture.
-
Don't PM it to me; instead PM it to Michal Marcinkowski (http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=20). And if you aren't aware already do note that you need to use a text editor capable of unicode. I recommend Notepad++.
-
hmm also should I ignore the english translation "Get 1 point for kill" as I think it should be "Get 1 point for a kill" or "Get 1 point per kill".
-
There's still plenty of bugs in this version.
I dream of a place where Soldat is bug-free...
You wish. There will always be bugs in Soldat.
I think 1.4.3 should be really worked on to get rid of most if not all current discovered bugs, even if it takes a decade or two.
-
Fixing bugs just creates more bugs though :), it never ends.
-
Fixing bugs in next version is invisible to us, as these bugs are already fixed when we get update. We can only complain about the bugs that weren't [still] fixed and about the new ones. And as we don't know how many were fixed, complaining about these few :P left must be really annoying to MM and rest of Soldat development work group.
-
Eh, this knife-thingy, it sucks. Kinda unfair if someone is spawning you, you cant even kill him with knife. And this Veoto, I honestly don't like it, it's too buggy for me.
-
Hurray for new Soldat. Thought i wish one day it was bug-free...
-
All of the bugs should have been fixed in 1.4. That was the version everyone was looking up to. It would that every map would have been fixed, no more lagging in servers (Although it would still happen), version would be bug-free, no more hackers, and so many new features. And it spent so much time in development. The longest version being worked on. But NO, it still contained plenty of bugs in it, the new graphics and everything was ugly and it disappointed everyone. Then we had to create two more versions to fix all the damn bugs and there's still bugs in it!
I'm sorry if I'm being an asshole but that's the cold-hearted truth.
AGREE with u!!!
Dammit since 1.4.2 came out, my soldat always freezes and dammit it annoys me has hell
-
Hey guys, instead of whining like babies, why don't you just stick to previous versions like everyone (should) do?
Go play 1.3.1, we need more players out there!
-
I miss 1.3.1 ._.
I were so stupid that i updated my 1.3.1 to 1.4.1 insteed of downloading the other file 1.4.1 and have 1.3.1 and 1.4.1 at same computer ._.
-
In all version we have little bug... See screenshot
(http://foto.rambler.ru/public/ddiya/_photos/1/1-web.jpg)
my english is not ideal ;)
-
I don't know if its just me being stupid but what are you talking about? I don't see a bug there....maybe zoom in the right one also. Maybe its just the picture being all blurry.
-
I think he's saying that the soldat's arm is detached...
-
(http://foto.rambler.ru/public/ddiya/_photos/2/1-web.gif)
Arm when you in left and arm when you in right is different
-
Yay!!!!!!!!
I LOV SOLDAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
-
Indeed, arm is weird. But it's just a detail. I never noticed that while playing.
-
Hahaha, I was at my cottage and when I came back and decided to play, all the servers were gone :(
-
yea its kinda hard to see anythign there....because of the blur
Date Posted: August 27, 2007, 03:34:21 PM
actually when u look at it close..it looks like a big lump on the one looing right
-
It's a little hard to see because of the dark background...
-
That's why the gostek is white-colored.
-
I think that is his helmet on his arm.....oh well i never notice it while playing too busy killing or dieing.
-
yay dzieki
-
It's September 11.
Today Soldat 1.4.2 turns 1 month old :D
-
for some reason it says i am no longer registered
Date Posted: October 19, 2007, 04:10:26 pm
EDIT: in the game
-
Wtf, I didn't play this game for a long time (got interested in MUGEN), and now I got to play it again and what did I say ?
Where the fu** are the secondaries ? Gimmie the secondaries right now !!!
What the fu** happened to my favourite maps "airpirates" and "blox" ?! Gimmie the maps now !!!
So, I went to soldat homepage and found NO OLDER VERSIONS !!! I good program or game has always to have OLDER VERSIONS on it's homepage.
Please somebody tell me how to enable the secondaries and where to get the older maps, since that is no OLDER VERSIONS !!! PLEASE !!! Without soldat I die (lolzorz)!!!
-
Maybe the server didn't have secondaries enabled?
-
I daresay I see some sig rule-breakage. >_>
-
I daresay you're taking an admin job on your shoulders.
-
I daresay you're taking an admin job on your shoulders.
Yeah, I think it's because of the admin rights because when I was installing it (in one of my school's computer ! :() it said it could not unpack 2 dll's. So installed it in my WinVista and it ran with a little graphic bugs but cool. Btw, when will soldat run cool with no problems on Vista ?
-
When Vista is stable.
-
Read: Not any time soon.
-
When Vista is stable.
Correction: Vista is already super duper stable, the problem I was talking about is that it runs soldat with 2 much graphic distortion :(. MM should make a new version to make the game run on Vista or a patch maybe. I can't even run soldat by double click on the icon, I have to right click and then "open as administrator".
-
I can't get Soldat to run, period. Thank god my good lappy still has XP.

Vista's super duper stable when you aren't doing anything. :P

if MM was doing anything wrong he would have fixed it. He has been trying to get Soldat working right on Vista since 1.4.0 came out, but he hasn't been able to. He's not doing anything wrong and it works on every other version of Windows just fine.
-
Vista sucks at the moment, but what program has on the first release! Soldat 1.4 had some problems on it's release, but when vista sp1(or whatever) comes out it may be good! It depends IF it ever comes out :D

Vista already came out for new computers. Theres Vista home basic, home premium, business edition and ultimate.
