Ive installed it, but when you click on the soldat icon the screen just changse as if its changing resolution, you hear a beep then it just closes! No error messages or anything! Its an Nvidia fx5200, ive tried changing drivers and updating direct x, hav no clue as to what is going on! Please help!

1. The game does not run! I get an error: cannot initialize 3d hardware, or something like that.

It's a hardware compatibility error:
- Make sure you have the latest DirectX drivers
- Try to run the game in window-mode
- Change the Windows desktop colors from 32-bit to 16-bit
- Try to change some Soldat Config settings (turn off Antialiasing, check 16-bit)
- Install the latest or different video drivers
- Try changing the windows desktop resolution and bit-rate
- Try turning down or up the graphics hardware acceleration (My Computer/Properties/Performance/Graphics)
- Try updating your motherboard drivers
- Check also this this topic on the forum - 3d initialization problem
- If you have Windows NT/2000 install the latest service pack

I know you didn't get an error, but try to do those stuff, it might work.

Ok try 2 press esc all the time! I must do it! Untills soldat start!

Sounds strange.
What graphic card and processor do you have?

Ive tried all that in that list, even taking of the beginning intro. Nothing seems to work, its so strange. Its hardly like Soldat is graphic intensive!

Does nobody actually know how to solve this then?

Restart computer

I have an FX5200 graphics and its an AMD 2500.... well i think i may have restarted the computer a few hundred times since then anyway ;)
