Pinocchio and his crazy lag...

Hello, I'm writing to apologize to all of you and ask for your continued patience. For several months now the only thing bigger than my nose has been my lag (my "gaming" rig is connected directly over Ethernet, not WiFi as some have suggested). I've worked with CenturyLink, my DSL internet...

Is there a way to minimize or window mode bzflag?

Hello, I'm running Devuan (Debian) Linux. I'm using icewm for my window manager. I'd like to be able to minimize or widow mode bzflag so that I can play a bit, join as a spec, do something, and then jump back into the game. I've read through the settings multiple times without finding anything to mi...

Re: Cannot see servers. Cannot join servers. Cannot even chat via IRC.

I decided to re-build bzflag just in case. I'm still experiencing the problems described above.

Re: Cannot see servers. Cannot join servers. Cannot even chat via IRC.

Hmm, are you saying the system is partially upgraded to 4.0? I do notice that curl in Devuan 3.1 is only 7.64.0, but you have 7.74.0 which is from Devuan 4.0. That partial upgrade is likely the source of your problems. It was in the backports repo. What I did is change my sources.list to 4.0 and th...

Re: Cannot see servers. Cannot join servers. Cannot even chat via IRC.

Here's the error:

Code: Select all

* ALPN, server did not agree to a protocol
* Failed sending HTTP request
* Closing connection 0
Addendum, I'm on Devaun 3.1 currently. I attempted to switch to 4.0, but there's been some changes (in the dependencies) and I'll need time to figure out what's up with them.

Re: Cannot see servers. Cannot join servers. Cannot even chat via IRC.

"Message of the day not available" is what I see. I just did a full dist-upgrade. I'll see if it's possible to do another...

The curl connection works. The output is just like yours above.
libcurl is version 7.74.X.

Hexchat now connects just fine, thanks!

Cannot see servers. Cannot join servers. Cannot even chat via IRC.

I'm at a total loss as to what's going on. I've not played in a few months, so maybe something got past me that's important. I build the latest download, version 2.4.24.20220705-MAINT-linux-gnu-SDL2 (gcc 8.3.0) on Devuan (Debian) Linux. I tried to search for servers and it just says, "Searching...

Re: Need help with Internet connection

Ok, I'm getting over 100fps at all times on every server I tested.
I connected to the closest server 1purplepanzer.mooo.com:4100 . I'm still getting 53 jitter which is really high. Too high for that server and, I'm sure, others.

Re: Need help with Internet connection

I'm using a wired connection. "Energy saver" is on performance (technically this is linux, so it's not the same thing as windows, but I can translate for you). In game energy saver is off. Anti-aliasing is off. I can't find a way to display the fps. But if I turn down the settings my ping ...

Need help with Internet connection

Hello, I'm having trouble with my connection. It's the lag. It stays within the range of 60-150 with 40-60 jitter. I don't think It was always this way. I used to play this game about 4 to 6 months ago. My connection was still not the greatest, but it worked. Since then I've had no changes to my HW ...
