Access violation error... again.

[Rabbit]

Hey, I know there's a lot of topics like this one and hope you'll forgive me posting a new one.

Alright, I havent played Soldat for about 9 months and I decided to play it again. I installed it and every time I try to join a server or start my own, it shows me that goddamn error: Access violation, blah blah blah.

I've read the ElSpec's tips:

1. Never cheat, or attempt to cheat - it's the most common cause of this problem.

I have never tried.

2. Do not use 'Reg. Cracks' On Soldat.

I don't.

3. Uninstall Soldat.

Done.

4. Delete the Soldat folder to remove any leftover files.

Done.

5. Restart your computer.

Done.

6. Install the latest version of Soldat.

Done multiple times.

7. a) For Windows NT/2000/XP: Delete the file cmodule.dll in the 'Windows\system32' folder. *

There's no file like that over there so I think it's fine.

8. Delete the file dxlog.chk in the 'Windows' folder*

As above.

Alright, what do I do? Do I have to wait for Soldat 1.5 or have you got some advice?

Thanks in advance.

Also, for people that get an error after pressing T or F1,
go to Soldat\Txt, open fonts.ini and change FontMenuSize
to FontMenuSize=13 (or higher number)
if that doesnt help change
FontConsoleSize=9 (or 10 or higher)

Tried that? Pretty much, just try messing with the font sizes, see if that fixes it.

I tried a few vary values but unfortunately it didn't help. Thanks anyway.

I unistalled Soldat once again, installed 1.4.1 and it worked. Then I installed the 1.4.1->1.4.2 patch but it still doesn't work. Any more ideas?

[SpiltCoffee]

Are you running Fullscreen? Have you tried running in Windowed mode? (and vice versa)

Have you tried setting your display's bitrate to 16?

[Rabbit]

Still same bollocks.

I hope you're not running out of ideas, are you?

[SpiltCoffee]

I'm starting to.

Could you post your system specifications please? (If you don't know them, you can run "dxdiag" in Start > Run, which gives you a good description of your specifications, including CPU, RAM and Graphics.)

[Rabbit]

I attached my DxDiag report.

 I know I've got the worst PC in the universe but I never had any problems with Soldat... I'll yet try to install the latest DirectX (I thought I had the newest one but the newest is 9.0e right?).

Edit: oh, I see I've got the latest version of DX, damn.

[SpiltCoffee]

Just wanna make sure... you have tried putting your display to 16 bits, right? (I don't mean Soldat, I mean your actual display. Like, right click on the desktop and click Properties, in that.)

Have you been able to play Soldat before on this PC?

Yes, I have.


Yes, I have been able to play Soldat before. Dude, I have no problems with playing Soldat 1.4.1 (tried it yesterday). This goddamn 1.4.2 doesn't only work. My idea was only to install necessary files of the 1.4.1->1.4.2 patch, and keep gostek, weapon etc. files of 1.4.1. You know what I mean, to find out which file makes Soldat crashes. But I dont know how to do it, lol. If the patch was packed in .rar, damn...

[SpiltCoffee]

Well, I'm out of ideas. It might just be that this version has a bit of code that doesn't work right on your architecture, but I'm going to suggest you hold out to 1.5, and see if you can play that version. Someone else might be able to suggest something, but other than that...

[Rabbit]

Ok, well... Thanks anyway bro.

*wacks forehead*

Completely forgot about that...

Ah well, good to know it all works now.
