Yesterday everything was all right, but today I tried everything possible that I knew but nothing worked.

The problm is, i put up all the settings for my game, then I press Start Game, and the map doesn't load, the screen stays black, but i hear spawns and reloads and stuf. How do i fix this?

Point 6 aka 1

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
- If you have Windows NT/2000 install the latest service pack
