My Troubles accessing servers
« on: June 12, 2007, 02:21:10 am »
Hey all

So this morning i was able to play soldat in servers all i wanted, a few hours later i decide to play soldat again and when i try to access GameArena 3 Ctf which is a common server i go in because im in australia and i get in but i dont see the game at all, i just get a monitor full of grey, the kind of background on menu's while changing your settings or looking for servers, it just stays like that, i did Esc, clicked around, f9ed or whatever that button you can press is to minimize soldat and in the end i had to press the start button on the keyboard and cancel out of soldat, i tried going into enecse servers and other foreign servers and it happened again.

I tried getting rid of my soldat then reinstalling it and it still happened. Does anyone know how i can fix this because ive looked on SF and there was nothing on this that i had seen, has anyone had this problem or know about then plz tell me. On some australian soldat forums i go on they said it could possibly be my graphics card but that wouldnt explain why i could go on in the morning that time then not go on since then.

Anticipating your responses.

This may sound obvious, but did you try to restart your computer? This kinda stuff happens to me sometimes (rarely but still happens) then everything works fine after a restart.

@Kryp -- go buy some skills. use /command to bring up the commands.

Sorry forgot to say that, yea i tried that as well but it didn't work. Plus my mum did it a few times not to help me but because our printer was stuffing up again, we got it working though.

Anyone though know how to fix this?

Can you start yourself a local server from "Start Game"?

It's very wierd that it all suddenly stopped working on your system. Have you tried compability mode on Soldat?

Most likely a driver issue of some kind, or perhaps an older version of DirectX. Update all of said things and try again.
