Well i can't connect to ANY FREAKING SERVER AT ALL! It just shows "connecting to ip"...but then it never connects. And when i start a new game by myself i just get this:

Hi,

This is a common bug in 1.4.
You can try changing your video settings with the config.exe but chances are big that you'll just have to wait until 1.4.1 is released.

And how long is it gonna take before 1.4.1 is released?

[DePhille]

I'm guessing it'll be within two weeks or something.

EDIT: Let's make that a month.

Didn't MM say a few days...? A long time ago?

[DePhille]

Yup, but you got to give a developer a gigantic margin for a release date. Release date's are one of the worst nightmares for a developer .
That's why I will be happy when it is finished within a month.

I think MM should take a lesson from kevan. Instead of providing a release date just release it when its done without even telling anyone. Then instead of complaints about being late you get woo hoos for making something new.

- AND -

...
- Fixed access violation errors when starting game (no need for compatibility mode)
- Fixed resolution change and minimap not working
- Fixed lobby error messages
- Fixed unicode fonts under Windows 98/SE
- Fixed no secondary on server join
- Fixed kicking on servers with disabled weapons
- Fixed flamer spamming and ban
...

These fixes are done in Soldat 1.4.1, so waiting until it's release might also be a god idea.

Also, you need 16-bit.
