I recently installed soldiers of Anarchy after found the case somewhere amidst random PCPlus superCD's and for some reason it doesn't work.
It gets up to the part with the spinning gears but it kind of freezes. It keeps spinning but leaves a wierd trail and if I move the mouse, it leaves a trail. Can anyone tell me what's up with that?

Is it possible you don't have adequate space on either your memory storage or your random access memory? Sometimes games will look rather peculiar when that happens.

Thanks, I'm going to have a clear-out now. :)

It didn't work.
For fun, I'll post a screenshot of the crashed game.

IT's not a bad game, considering I only paid a fiver for it.

Good luck with it. Although it gets unreasonably hard at some points.

:headbang: It's a complete bastard to try and get it to work. :headbang:
I used to have it installed a while ago, and it was very hard as I remember. So I started making maps, that was fun. Helicopters gunning down hordes of monks....:D

Let's see.....
850Mhz AMD Athlon
612Mb RAM
GeForce FX5200
Windows XP
If I missed anything out it's because I don't have a clue.

That's around the same as mine (actually, yours is better :(). But SoA worked perfectly.

Odd :confused:

does anyone else find it mildly amusing that a game with "anarchy" in its title is doing this?
Ankhmet
10-02-2005, 18:33
Yes.

Now you're on my:'kill horribly' list.Just because.

Ummm...I tear off their fingers and toes then stuff them in various orifices, then leave my helpless victim in a pond full of flesh eating minnows.

It's most likely the nvidia drivers, as was already mentioned. Look about for patches.
