Sounds like you might be having more general networking issues if you're having trouble search for or installing software.

Flatpak does not use dnf or RPMs. It a separate software distribution method that works the same across distributions.

Try this from a terminal (since we use libcurl to talk to the server list): If that also works, make sure the game is closed and then try renaming your configuration directory and then running the game again:

If you're not even getting a server list, then your client is having trouble communicating with our main server. Try accessing the server list in a browser to see if that also fails or is unreliable. https://my.bzflag.org/db/?action=LIST

BMBZ.WHITELIST

Done.

What license is that map file released under?

It could be done, but not without some programming. One option would be to write a bzfs plugin that controls the automatic team selection. Another option would be modifying the client to adjust what team it joins the bots to.

We are pleased to announce the release of BZFlag 2.4.22. Platform binaries and the source code are available for download using the following links: Windows: https://download.bzflag.org/bzflag/windows/2.4.22/bzflag-2.4.22.exe macOS: https://download.bzflag.org/bzflag/macos/2.4.22/BZFlag-2.4.22-macOS...

Are you still having trouble or did you get this resolved?

From the second link:

I was able to fix all of my issues by switching to PCI-E Gen 3 inside my BIOS. If anyone else is or has experienced any of these issues try switching to Gen 3.

Worth trying.

Do other games work fine? Have you tried any other games that use OpenGL? Have you tried with Rage Mode turned on/off and with Smart Memory Access turned on/off? I don't have a system close in specs to yours. I threw a Radeon RX 570 into my Windows 10 1909 PC but that worked fine. I'm current updati...

Try going to Options > Display Settings and set Energy Saver to Vertical Sync.

When you're talking about stutter/jitter, are you meaning the graphics overall are not smooth? Or is this specifically about the network quality (as in, your movement is smooth, but other tanks are jumping around or you're seeing high numbers for packet loss or jitter in the /lagstats output)?

Are you playing over WiFi? WiFi can add network jitter, though I'm not sure if that's what you're talking about.

From looking at the BZFlag server logs, it does appear that it might just be a wrong password.

Or, on the server list, press the 5 key. This will load a filter that defaults to finding ducati-style servers. Specifically, it filters for no jumping, with ricochet, CTF, 2 shots, and 2 teams. Press the 0 key to reset the filter to show all servers.

Done.

He meant treads, not threads. The tank treads.

Bots might be okay. I honestly can't recall if that was tried.

Version 2.99 would be rather unplayable anyway. There were pretty serious issues with the networking code that would only manifest after you had multiple people playing on a server for an hour or two. And a lot of half finished features.

Which version of macOS?

2.99 is an abandoned branch that was rather broken and hasn't been touched since 2012. https://github.com/BZFlag-Dev/bzflag/tree/2.99

You'd have to run a 2.99 server as well. Regardless, from the server, you still wouldn't know if someone was using the third-party camera or not.

If you update to 2.4.20, you'll have an option in the GUI Settings menu to show coordinates. And there really isn't many/any options in the config that aren't in the menus now. The options in the config are commented out when they are set to the default value.

The server does not know what buttons you press. There also is not a third-person view in the game, at least while playing. Adding a third-person view to the game would also require forking the game to use a different protocol version, otherwise it would be a cheat client.

I'm not seeing any option to disable that in the code. It's only for CTF maps when you're on a team that has at least one team flag. And it's only for your own teams' flags.
