Installation

Fairly similar to the steps for macOS, but with PlayOnLinux. However, it might be necessary to enable Video Compatibility in Config.exe in case the visuals are not loading properly, or getting an "Access violation" error after entering the game.


In order to open config.exe you'll have to click on the Soldat application configure button, and there switch to "Other"/"Misc" tab, then click on "Run .exe on this virtual drive".


Inside config.exe go to "More" Tab and check the video compatibility box.
