hi, thanks for the quick reply, well i did some reading but i found that the text is an on going issue with the game and that cannot be fixed.

I have however come across other problems:

FPS of 6.1
Cannot play due to Wine and Battle Eye incompatibility
Res of 1024x768 doesn't work, nor does 800x600 for that matter kills the FPS

In any case it seems that soldat and wine 1.10 do not like each other. I think i may just forget about the game and look for an alternative.

I have open arena working fine on the PC as well as Wolfenstein but I dont like these games. I cannot find a simple 2d shoot em up unfortunately.

Ah well the search continues.
