I have a friend who has soldat and is having problems exiting from the game. The game itself plays fine, but the display just goes black for a long time after trying to exit the game (and sometimes when just going to the menu). He has had to restart the computer in a few cases when he could not get it to work right.

His computer specs:
2.08 AMD XP 2600+
1.0 GIG PC3200 Corsair XMS Memory
Radeon 9800XT 256MB Graphics Card
17" Dell Flat-Panel Monitor

If anyone can help, it would be GREATLY appreciated!

Originally from Soldat's official FAQ

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



This should do it. Try everything on the list.
