i just downloaded it and everything is working fine, in fact i just played for an hour. on my desktop theres soldat and soldat dedicated server, what is the dedicated server.also how do i play online, i tried goin to join game and i waited and waited but nothing came up, is there like apopular level that every1 gos to?just tell me how to play online.

Well, welcome to Soldat. Wierd how you became a forum member before you got the game. Anyway, to play online you go to the tab "JOIN GAME" and click request server, and select one and start playing. A dedicated server is a server that you run from your computer, but you don't play in it; just run it. And no, theres not exactly a popular "level" everyone goes to. There may be favorites of maps though.

do can i just delete the ds because i dont really fell the need to host a server?

Well, if you want. It's just a shortcut. The actual thing is in your soldat folder. But of course you knew that...right?

if the "tutorial" magniitude gave isn't working, you should make sure that in "options" the connection is set to "internet", not "LAN"

also make sure you have "register in lobby servers" ticked

that's only for hosting, but it's usefull when it comes to that ;)
