Something interesting I found

I think the graphics should be updated, but Soldat should stay usable at full speed to a broad range of users, desktops up to 8 years old, laptops for however long they can last,  linux or mac users through wine(I'd like to note weather effects currently lag in this case), etc.

I think we need to make sure Soldat works well with higher resolutions.
I was thinking about how to make Soldat future proof (gfx wise) and I'm not sure if there is another option than Vector style gfx.
The question is if that is a style which fits Soldat.

About fps: I think soldat isn't really optimized (we didn't look a lot into the rendering code - its ugly). Newer DX versions could help (or a general cleanup of the code).
I have a 4+ year old laptop which I don't plan to replace soon so if it will work on a core2duo 2.2 ghz (because it's my dev computer).

Give the Soldat engine Vector GFX and you can have my babies.

The biggest part of visuals are the maps. Improve the maps, improve the visuals.
