Bzflag not working

#1 Post by gary101 »

Hi

I downloaded and installed the bzflag.pup but when run all I get is a box with an option of solo or multiplayer. Whichever I select Bzflag doesn't open.

I am running 2.13 and have set up my nvidia card with the correct drivers and tested with the opengl mini benchmark (excellent tool).

Just noticed that the glquake.pup does the same but runing quake from quakelaunch seems to work fine. Also tuxracer and barrage do not run, is this a clue?

I love this game so any advice is very much appreciated. :lol:

I installed the LibSDL dotpup, and the BZFlag dotpet, but I get the following error when I run bzflag from the console (after the "solo/muliplayer" dialog):

Code: Select all

Could not set video mode: Couldn't find matching GLX visual.
(Of course, when I run bzflag from the menu item, I get no indication why it failed)

I'm running 2.17 (Frugal Install). Also, rebooting doesn't help.
