Title: Game Crashing
Post by: Flatulent_One on June 22, 2006, 04:39:16 pm

Soldat keeps crashing on me. It just started today.
I get in a room for like 3 seconds and it crashes.

I'm running a XP with a S3 Graphics ProSavage 8A26. I don't know how much ram I have but I know I have a lot.
Please, someone help me.

Do you have DirextX installed?
Has this ever happened before, or has Soldat worked but the crashing has just started recently?
Have you tried re-installing Soldat?
I don't have much else, but at least it's a help. I hope you fix it.

update your video drivers and directx if there are newer versions of either out.  If it still happens, please get back to us and we'll help you out more

I've been told I needed to update my drivers, but have no idea how or what that means.

I did that directx check thing.
Here's what I got-
