  • Anyone try the new Soldiers of Fortune demo ?

    So what's it like ?
    just thought to ask before downloading 90+ Mb on my crappy modem

    haven't played it too much but it looks nice. Has a good feel. Crashed on me though and I dont know why just booted me to desktop.

      Yup, tried it in win2k, and just starting the program results in a spontaneus boot by the computer. Not nice.

      Anyone else have luck with it?

        " G400 - works great with the beta drivers, just not the
        GLSetup ones. They are planning an update on Friday."

          that message was dated: 6/10 I think that Friday has passed long since.

          This game locks up my whole system while loading a level (singleplayer/tutorial). The menu and such just work. Any ideas?

                  The game will not start.
                  I get this error

                  Error

                  Could not initalise OpenGL rendering environment!

                  Make sure you have the latest drivers installed (GLSetup is recommended)

                  Im using v5.41

                    I'm not using the TurboGL drivers.

                    Just plain old 5.41.

                            I figured it out. Set your desktop to 16 bit.

                              No problems running the game with my rig. Set up was painless; I was impressed by this. No tweaking required. Set everything to "high".

                              Graphics are great, a fantastic looking game.

                              A3D sound is nice.

                              But gameplay? Hmmm.....c'mon! Another "shoot the zombie" game. Gosh, at least Duke nukem was funny.
