Ditto for me too re screen going dark and same fix. Windows 10 x64, fully up to date. I get it on my Surface Pro 3 (Intel HD Graphics Family). My "fix" was to change the cfg file to read only and that seemed to stop it from happening but since the latest Win 1903 update it's started again, at least...

+1 for me too

Given that people are moving away from PC's for tablets and phones for pleasure then maybe the "use case" has to change with the times? 10 years ago it was great, now it's being artificially limited by "use cases"? BZ is haemorrhaging players left, right and centre and sticking to Windows & Mac only...

...Even so, the game experience wouldn't be great on a tablet... -Zehra I'm running the Huawei mate 10 which has built-in desktop mode (similar to Samsung Dex) so it "should" run with external keyboard and mouse. I managed to install Debian Linux on the phone via a QEMU emulator and while it's not ...

I'll probably be moving away from desktop to Android tablet in the next wee while and was looking for a way to continue playing BZ.

The only solution I've found so far is to run Linux on an x86 emulator but there are no precompiled BZ packages to download.

Has anyone tried it? Did it work?

I was playing on Ziggurat today when Gauss appeared; his usual abusive self. He's boasting that he has access to 200 vpn's with options for more. He was poll banned and reappeared within a matter of seconds. Do any admins ever appear there? I don't think I've ever seen any. The server owner is jnoob...

As most of you will know there is an unregistered player, Gauss, who has been doing the round for the last few weeks. He / she uses many random nicks, different IP addresses, vpn's etc to get on to the game, flag run, team kill and hurl abuse at people. I've also heard stories about him making unsav...

Think of it as a Microsoft version of the Chrome Book.

So, will we get a Windows 10 UWP version of BZ?

Windows 64 bit.

WADS does the same as the arrow keys.
How to change weapons?

What are you planning on implementing in this?

All fair comments.

Back to the drawing board then

It runs as one package. All files etc are stored within the .appx file. There is no "setup" to run. Windows 10 treats it as an app rather than as a Win32 application. When I first created it the app was 22MB in size. Now, after playing on different servers it has grown to about 70MB with files being...

Blast - No changes made to it. It's simply been "wrapped" in an appx wrapper for Windows 10 (and potentially the Windows app store). I've rechecked the link and it works fine.

I've cobbled together a Windows 10 UWP version that seems to work well.

Some questions though - What, if any, are the command line switches for the installer?

What about licences?

If you want to try it out then have a look at my post here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bzflag/?fref=nf

I'm an @ on a few servers and seem to be added to more as time goes on. Today I played on Urban Jungle and saw that I was a "+". An hour later I went back and discovered I was now a "@". I'm not complaining about this but I'd like to know just what servers I *am* a "@" on. Is there a list I can look...

Done.

Almost certainly a stupid question but if the maintainer doesn't want to be involved then why not get another maintainer?

Or am I missing something so bloomin obvious?

Without a doubt Manu - never a cross word from him and he is /was always willing to listen and help. RIP viper.pimpi

Who else? Alcatraz, Viking and all the other 'old timers' from Two Castles. I had many years of good, playful banter with them and always enjoyed their company.

Using the keyboard only...

When in observer mode and I press A i get accelaration and decelaration which is good - i could be used to jump up on some towers (ie the cake tower on viper.pimpi) but when playing the game the A key simply slows me right down which is bad....
