SOLDAT 1.6.8 RELEASED!

Not necessarily stupid, lazy.

Weird, pretty similar to the devs.

Also the 'integration' you're talking about was in a beta release, so how can you say it wasn't used lol??

People didn't use it because you couldn't join the only network that had Soldat related channels, Quakenet.

I forgot about that.

The ingame IRC was called "lobby chat." We ended up running an internal IRC server just for the Soldat client to connect to. It was intended to just be a chat room for the server lobby rather than a client that could connect to arbitrary networks.

Makes sense.


Not surprising no one used it then.

Everytime I play 1.6.8, I have this screen after a while:

And I can't play like this, because I don't see anything. Do you know how to fix it?

Might be related to your graphics drivers.

What's your GPU?
Driver version?

I have the same issue, I cannot remember getting these issues before I reinstalled windows so I guess the drivers windows installs by default have some issues.
Running Soldat inside a virtualbox with windows xp works without issues.

Could you tell me which driver and gpu you have. (windows key + r then write devmgmt.msc and press enter, then look for the "Display adapters", right click on each one in there and select properties and click on the driver tab in the window that opens)
Mine is:
Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600
Driver Date: 2015-03-16
Driver Version: 10.18.14.4170
Digital Signer: Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher

and

NVIDIA GeForce GT 730M
Driver Date: 2013-10-28
Driver Version: 9.18.13.2762
Digital Signer: Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher

But I think I'm using the Intel one for soldat (not sure)

Ok, I've just done what you said and got this:

Intel(R) HD Graphics Family
Driver Date: 2014-09-29
Driver Version: 10.18.10.3960
Digital Signer: Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher

and

NVIDIA GeForce GT 840M
Driver Date: 2014-04-29
Driver Version: 9.18.13.3311

I'm going to try out your tip with the Oracle Virutal Box (Windows XP 32). I use this anyway to do projects for my IT studies.
