Hello!
I just bought a new computer and when I start Soldat the menu is flickering...I dont know how I should describe it but it's like all the graphics are moving fromt eh left and the right contantly.

My graphic card is ATI Radeon 9800Pro and I have directx 9.0, In the config file I've also chosen "ATI Radeon 9800" and not "default"...either I choose it's still flcikering.

Im in desperate need of help!

I forgot to add one thing. If I start the Dedicated server ther is no flickering at all in the menu. But If I start the normal game it flickers alot....how come?

Just discovered another thingy...when I start my computer it's also flickering before I have gotten to the win xp login section (when its loading up with DOS-commands and BIOS)

hihihi CbbLe have troubles nananananaaanaa :P

dunno if this would help but in setup choose Force Software - runs the game without hardware video acceleration. ??? or choose video adapter default aaarggh bye nvidia card...

btw nice signature >:)

my ass:
( | ) <--how it is now
( 0 ) <--how it will be when barret is useless in 1.2

Download the latest drivers of your pc card and it supose to work.

Update your drivers

Are you running the game in fullscreen or not? And what screen resolution?

Maybe the refresh rate is too high for your monitor. I heard that if the refresh rate is too high it can cause tearing on the screen.

have you gotten the latest drivers?

and in setup for soldat, i think there's some option you're supposed to check or sumthing... dur... maybe soldat just doesn't like you. :p j/k

Cbble - I run a 9800 pro without any troubles :)

First of all, make sure you have all the obvious stuff...

DirectX 9.0b
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=141D5F9E-07C1-462A-BAEF-5EAB5C851CF5&displaylang=en

Catalyst 3.9 driver set (Win XP)
http://www2.ati.com/drivers/wxp-w2k-catalyst-7-95-031028m-011774c.exe

Then do some more obvious stuff, like make sure your monitor is plugged in properly, so the cable isn't loose.

My config stats:

Graphics
Fullscreen - ON
Dithering - OFF
Antialiasing - OFF (always leave this off, you can turn AA on in the display properties menu for both ATI and vNidia cards)
Bitrate - 32
Refresh Rate - High (but put yours on Average or Default to try it out)
Video Adapters - RADEON 9800 PRO

More
Video Compatibility - OFF
Force Software - OFF
Blank screen while bonus fix - OFF
Texture Filters - Linear (just as with AA, set Anisotropic Filtering in your display properties)
Backbuffer Count - 2

Set your to that, coz we know it works :)

It's weird that it works with the dedi and not normally...

You got any sort of weird set-up going on there Cbb? lol

Also in my 3D settings for the card:

Direct3D:
Anti-Aliasing - 6x
Anisotropic Filtering - 8x
Anisotropic Filtering - Performance
Texture Preference - High Quality
Mipmap Detail Level - High Quality
Wait for Vertical Sync - OFF!!!!11one!!!!!!!11111eleven!!!!11 lol
TRUFORM? - off

oh hmmmmmmm

"Just discovered another thingy...when I start my computer it's also flickering before I have gotten to the win xp login section (when its loading up with DOS-commands and BIOS)"

There REALLY shouldn't be any problems at all at this stage...

Go into your BIOS and check to see if you've set everything right in there...

Nightcabbage I love you...marry me! =D

woooooooooooooohooooooo, now it works thanks to mr.cabbage here...I think it was that the refresh rate should be average instead of default as I had....
*gives tons of hugs and kisses to cabbage then once again starts to own at Soldat* :)

lol :)
