what the HELL HAPPENED?!?
« on: July 13, 2006, 10:09:05 pm »
Ok, so yesterday i accidently uninstalled soldat, first i accidently pressed uninstall and then without thinking i clicked yes.


So now when i re-install soldat the first "nag" message doesn't show the picture for the advertisement thingy, and when i click the ok button to play soldat it goes to the profile thing like its supposed to right?

well all the graphics are really messed up and when i click the
green button to go to the screan where you make a game all the graphics are messed up and there is no text and just weird stuff.



Heres a pic:

Happened to me.  I re-installed Soldat.  Works fine now.

This happened to me once and I was really scared. What you should do is delete the soldat folder everything related to Soldat and reinstall once again. Now I dont remember cleary what I did... but it got fixed. And if your on dial up then install it the hard way. I forgot what I did to fix it. I remember the soldat folder was in the recycle bin and I restored it hmm..

ight here's what i suggest:
uninstall soldat.  delete the soldat folder.  Go to your web browser click Tools -> Internet Options.  Delete all cookies and all Files (including offline files).  Go to soldat download page and download it off a different host.  hope it works!
Can't think of anything original to put here...

Also, restart after uninstalling, and after reinstalling; this helps some people.

Restart. Your. Computer.

Don't uninstall, don't delete the folder. Just reboot.
My menus don't have any text and its your fault!

This is commonly caused by installing Soldat and not restarting your PC. You can easily solve this problem by restarting, and if that doesn't fix it, then you need to uninstall Soldat, delete the folder,  restart your PC, reinstall Soldat, restart your PC again (just to make sure), and then start playing.

Read the god damn stickies.

This is going to sound really stupid, but how do I not make a poll?

when i left the options blank it kept telling me to fill them.


AND now i feel like a dumbass because I usually read the stickies on top of the forum topics.

and yes I restasrted and it works fine.

You don't make a poll by clicking the "New Topic" button, instead of the "Poll" button. They are right beside each other, so make sure you click the proper one in the future.  ;)
