the rage128 card has VERY little ram, most macs don't have enough ram to run openGL double buffered mode (the mode bzflag asks for) at a res higher then 640x480.

I have not been about to run 2.0 either. having the same, open, fade to black, app crash. Powermac G4, 10.3.8, Rage 128 Pro. I really hope this issue can get resolved.
