This has happened before. I promised just to fix bugs in the next version but I`m terrible at keeping promises. The next version will be called 1.4 and will have some major improvements.
Apart from bug fixes (like hit registering), completely rewritten lobby server code (which means faster servers list with more options), ability to resize the Soldat window without use of external programs, full support for UNICODE (asian fonts included), there will also be some new features for registered players. If you`re registered you will have the possibility to change Soldats resolution! From default 640x480 to 1280x1024 for example. Also there will be an option for a minimap which shows the whole map and your teammates! (the minimap won`t give special advantages, nothing will be displayed beyond what you see with the name tags on the screen borders).
If you want to see how this all looks like, check
this page. Amongst the features there are screenshots. So check it out and remember that once 1.4 is out the price of registration will go from 9$ to 12$ and later even more! So hurry up.
