Unexplained crash on game load
« on: August 31, 2007, 02:36:35 am »
Hi all,

I just got given an oldish laptop, but Soldat doesn't work.

It loads the menu and lobby screens ok, but whenever I go to play a game, it crashed to desktop without any error message or explanation at all.

I've tried all possible combinations of 16/32 bit, video compatibility, texture filters, fullscreen/windowed, the lot and nothing fixes this problem. I've also briefly scanned and searched this forum but couldn't find any obvious answers.

I'm pretty sure the laptop is just running an integrated graphics driver, and it has played older versions of Soldat so I know it can hack it stats wise.

If someone could give me some answers, even if the answer is "your graphics card wont play the new version of Soldat", I'd be very grateful.  :)

Thanks
Carpe Diem!

Try updating your drivers for the graphics, many old drivers have issues.
