I'm having a problem when I install Soldat, when I start Soldat it gives me an error, that is basically about DLL problems, some people said to me to install DirectX 8.1/9.0, I've already did that, but it still doesn't work [:-weepn] , can anybody help me?

Here is a pic of the error that shows up:

Upgrade to 9.0b, then try reinstalling Soldat with Fix, and if that doesn't work, install new video card drivers. If it still wont work, reinstall Windows, because GDI32.DLL seems to be the problem.

I am having that exact same problem, I recently downloaded soldat 1.1.5 and that error message comes up. I also have DirectX 9 installed .

After that, well I can't reas portugese - lol - but I'm guessing your GDI32.DLL is stuffed or the wrong version.

This file usually comes with Windows... Sometimes other Microsoft products.

Perhaps if you translated the error (only that top one, don't worry about the bottom one) to English for me ^_^

I can't read portugese either but it says:
"This application has failed to start because d3dx81ad.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem"

I can't tell how many times i have tried re-installing Soldat and it still doesn't work. This is driving me crazy! I've also tried re-installing DriectX 9.0b and it still isn't working.

EDIT: I definatly have the file on my computer, for some reason Soldat can't find it.

FDL - does your error have any GDI32.DLL mention in it?

I suspect that your error is different.

What video card do you have?
