Yes it does.
What's the name of your graphic card?
Have you tried disabling anti-aliasing?

I changed my graphic card recently its: Matrox Millennium 2.. its pretty old

That video card seems to only have 4 MB of video ram. That may not be enough for Soldat.

Ha! My video card is 3.5 MB (yes, there's actually a decimal there), and is the Intel Graphics Controller that came with my Windows ME!! B) Want to test a game's requirements? Send it to me XD

But see, it's when I disabled Anti-Aliasing through the Config (like b00stA said) when Soldat stopped having a FPS of -5 & played normally (seriously, they were just still images that changed every ~5 seconds or so) :P

ARR...I'm new here and need some help. I havent played soldat in about 3 monthes now because it sais error initializing 3d hardware. Is it my video card? dx? I just need to know cause i need to play!!!

Actually, from what I could glean from the Intel website, the Intel thingy steals some RAM and pretends it's video memory. But then again, I know nothing about video cards...

I think it might be my video driver but when i went into properties, settings, advanced,adapter it showed that it didnt even detect a video driver...??? This may be a bigger problem then what you guys are used to and its alrigth if noone here knows what i need to do.
