Re: BZFlag freezes
Thanks Blast, I dont know the different graphics systems on the other software whether it is Metal or which version of OpenGL. I think Im resolved that it won't work on this system.

Re: BZFlag freezes
The problem is I can't recreate it anywhere but in BZFlag. Every test and use I have done the only app that has any issues is BZFlag. Since I work in 3D, I would have thought when throwing multi million polys at it that there would be some failure if it were a driver issue.

Re: BZFlag freezes
I have tried to recreate this issue with other software and games and have been unable to see anything fail. Is there a similar game you can think of I can test with?

Re: BZFlag freezes
Ok, ran temp monitoring in the GPU and CPU while running BZ, and they barely budged from idle.

Re: BZFlag freezes
I ran it under energy saver which was 27fps, lasted about 1min until it had issues. Interesting note, it buffered the option screen and 2 other play frames and cycled between the 3. Odd to see the option screen frame cached. I have run it through stress testing without issues. Geekbench and other GP...

Re: BZFlag freezes
Yes, I was able to play longer, like 1-3mins, but it did happen when windowed.

Re: BZFlag freezes
It is a modified machine, yes. mostly looking to track down if there is an issue or if it is an incompatibility. So far, all openGL and Metal tests I have performed have been fine, this is the first item I have run into with an issue.

Re: gg
If it is any consolation, I do not play apoc because I got kicked for commenting on feature changes. There are a lot of good people in the games and best to find times and arenas that you enjoy.

Re: Chickenfarmer's BZFlag Game Play Tips for Beginners (and anyone else)
I guess my number one tip is DONT JUMP! Practice dodging bullets so you don't jump. If you do need to jump, jump somewhere... don't jump to avoid bullets. In addition, study our opponents. Watch how the play... all players tend to have a pattern. You can predict their actions and their favorite chic...

OS X 10.5.5
BZFlag crashes constantly under OS X 10.5.5. not constant reason, but usually within a couple of minutes... but sometimes a lot longer.

I dont play leagues because of time constraints... I cant dedicate enough time to be an asset. So I wander through the public maps... I prefer different maps for different style of playing... I usually only haunt a few maps because I dont like the random shoot maps, prefer maps that require some sor...

OS X 10.5.3 and BZ 2.0.10 crashing
It specifically has to do with 10.5.3, but ever since the OS upgrade, BZ crashes regularly. Usually about 1-2 minutes into play.
Curious if anyone else is having issues?
