Has Soldat worked before? Has it ever worked with your graphic card?

I don't think the Rage series supports DirectX 8... I tried on an old Rage II+ and it didn't work.

Psssst.. A signature may consist of both text and an image, but in this case, text may not consist of more than 2 lines, and 43 characters in length. The text in question should be aligned directly above/below the image to keep your signature small.
The first line in your sig has 57 characters :p

I had read forum rules and made my sig according to them, but that rule is new, maybe from the latest server change or even newer. If forum rules change it should be clearly advertised.

That rule has been there long before I joined the forums, palloco. Besides, rules are subject to change without notice.

Hmm, are we supposed to read 'em again every day to see if anything changed?

I'm just saying, the rules could change at any moment and you may not notice. The rules have been this way for quite awhile now, and it seems like palloco's situation has been solved.

I should hope that if there was a change, that everyone would be notified.
