Question: Will you put a clan tag option beside name, because, with soldat portal(just guessing) you register you whole name, and if you change it slightly, eg clan tag or letters, then it wont be the same, so soldat portal will not work.

Your username is the only thing that cant be changed, and your username is irrelevant to your ingame name.

Right, so its just to be able to play online(iirc). That seems very unnecessary. Whats the reason behind it all.

Aside from that, yes, this does look like a major leap forward for soldat. GJ.

I have to say there are som amazing updates made, like the F2 menu in F1, maybe have some feature like end game screen shot to take screen shot on both.

also, for those competetive players that whine about the maps: this is the 1.5.1 beta maps list, they may very well be changed back. and in worst case, it's just for each league to have their own map packs.

I feel as if the soldat portal is only the beginning.

next, you'll be required to buy soldat to play online at all.

etc etc ;ç

Or you can create an account for FREE but you must have bronze premium account to be able to pick up healthpacks and nades, silver premium account to unlock barret, m79 and 2 other secondaries and golden premium account to be able to use all power ups and all weapons.


Bronze Premium - 4,95$ per month
Silver Premium - 7,95$ per month
Golden - Premium - 11,95$ per month


You get what I mean?

I really think that everyone needs to stop being so negative and be more constructive.  This is a beta, there are things that you can help test and get fixed.  Complaining about the login and making speculations about it are not helping anyone, at all.  Please stop spreading misinformation and half-baked ideas as well.

Lastly, as EnEsCe said, please don't mirror the installer.  It is going to be hosted solely on enesce.com for now since updates are happening so frequently, and once the updates become less frequent it'll end up on soldat.pl in the downloads section.  Unnecessary mirroring will only hurt the progress of the beta.

Just a thought about this new login system. If and when it does go down, does this mean that you cant play online until the login servers are restored?

[DorkeyDear]

In my opinion, I think it would be best for accounts to exist, as it is already implemented, but not to be required. Having a registration would require an account for it to attach to (possibly transferable). Special features would require having an account (including the name saving service, and possibly future script features which need those account identifiers). Having a server ability to only allow those with accounts and logged in into the server could be a possibility.

Just a thought about this new login system. If and when it does go down, does this mean that you cant play online until the login servers are restored?

a reason why I believe it should not be required.

Just know everybody that if you keep playing the beta, the beta will keep getting updated with bug fixes and things. If the beta keeps getting updated, you'll keep playing the beta. Don't break the chain, as it is necessary for the non-beta version of 1.5.1 to have a better outcome than how the previous post-beta came out. Express your opinions in a constructive manner, and not yell saying everything in it sucks, which it might, but that's the whole purpose of the beta, to make it get better for the post-beta version(s).

@ jaakarhu- eC stated already that if it happens, the servers will be down for 2 minutes at most, read what he said: http://enesce.com/428/soldat/about-the-soldat-portal/

redudancy is builtin to the system meaning that if one login server is down you will authenticate against another one.

Holy fucking shit.. I can't even play the game at all, every 2 seconds I get a 1-second-long FPS freeze. Normal FPS with 1.5.1 beta for me = 20 as opposed to 60+ usual, and then it drops to 3 during the freeze.

yeah in a way it gives the opportunity to solve that problem.

I still dont like this portal thing, if a meteor hits EnEsCe's house and blows it all up, soldat will be fucked for a long period until MM pulls it back up.

It just seems like this whole portal thing is another wall put between the players and the game. And I'm fully with Snow on what he said. I'm here for soldat and only soldat, not chatting ffs. I just want a game, not a fucking chat program.

Yay! Everything works fine for me! BattlEye aren't kicking uz nao! GJ EnEsCe!

If I move (hit A or D, my game freezes (but my player keeps moving in that direction), until I let go of the key and then my player instantly warps back to where I was when my game froze (so I am warping all over the fucking place for everyone else).

My FPS is like 2 consistently.

If I shoot, I automatically start trying to throw grenades (for example if I use m79 and shoot, I wont reload because I just keep trying to throw nades over and over)

On every map change, I get some sort of access violation. (no popup window, the game just freezes for a second and I hear a *DING* as if there was a popup error message)

I'll report more bugs I get soon.

Another function of the Soldat Portal that noone has mentioned is, that your account could be flagged as a hacker account, which may act as a global blacklist.

then do so in the right place.

@ jaakarhu- eC stated already that if it happens, the servers will be down for 2 minutes at most, read what he said: http://enesce.com/428/soldat/about-the-soldat-portal/

And what about if the server gets offline for unknown reason ?
In case of multiple servers 'around the world' I would consider it pretty stable, but then again, lot of fuss about login system in simple 2d game

Another function of the Soldat Portal that noone has mentioned is, that your account could be flagged as a hacker account, which may act as a global blacklist.

Useless, as it takes only about 5 secs to make a new account.

not exactly the accounts will be tied to your registration key. so then you forfeit that as well.

Holy f**king s**t.. I can't even play the game at all, every 2 seconds I get a 1-second-long FPS freeze. Normal FPS with 1.5.1 beta for me = 20 as opposed to 60+ usual, and then it drops to 3 during the freeze.

I noticed the hugest fps drop ever... never rly got it, even on 1.5 BE errors i got a constant 200 fps on 640/800/1024 resolution... but now, when some1 sprays, it drops to 80 or less, very noticiable with vsync off...

Btw, i found that replacing that: http://update.thd.vg/soldat/cl/1510/Soldat.exe instead of the default one from the instalation, makes the fps higher a lil (not much, but ok)... anyway i noticed that you cant chance the texture filter (even on Soldat.ini) to less than "linear", it cause a FPS drop too...

Replacing that Soldat.exe actually makes 1.5.1a playable, but I still get huuuuge spikes every few seconds from 50 down to 5 then back up.
