bzflag 2.0.2 and windows XP
I can get bzflag 2.0.2 to work correctly on windows XP Pro. It runs so slow that the servers kick me off for "to much lag"
Version 2.0.4 I can't get to connect to the server to see if it would work.
Pleas help...

What kind of connection do you have? T1? DSL? Modem?
Are you running through any proxy's or gateway's? Are you running a firewall?
Do you get lag if you ping something else?
What server are you trying to connect to?
What is your lag exactly? 500ms? 1000ms? 1500+ms?
Where do you live in relation to the server?
These are all questions we will need answers to, before being able to give you an exact reason.
I have a DSL connection
PIV, 2.4GHz, 512 ram
I live in atlanta, GA
any server i try i get lag, it veries but today it is 563.
their is a proxy server in place
Version 2.0.4 says "server not found" and nerver connects, 2.0.2 works but very slow and i never get to play.

s4c: You have my curiosity peaked. There is A HTTP proxy in place for me also. However, It does not support bzflag. I cannot connect to the list server, or to any server.
Does your http proxy require user identification and auth?

You get the server list via port 80.AlliedArmour wrote:Baron, you have my curiosity peaked, how does your proxy not allow BZ? What happens with the list server?

for some odd reason, Its blocked, via bzflag. But as you can clearly see.... I can still reach Http://my.bzflag.org.AlliedArmour wrote:Baron, you have my curiosity peaked, how does your proxy not allow BZ? What happens with the list server?
Basically, in my limited understanding. A http prox Blocks UDP/TCP connections. Bzflag uses that so Consequently bzflag doesn't work.
changing the line in the config so as to use port 81 doesn't work either.

Its a combination of the proxy not using UDP, and the router having ports either blocked... or forwarding them to the router, and not to the individual computer.
