Under Windows my screen comes up with... nothing. I can arrow up and down, and hear sounds when I go through the menus blindly, but no graphics ever come up.

Is this a known issue with a known fix?

Still no joy.

I created the 2.0 directory in My BZFlag Files, and ran bzflag, no luck.

I then create config.cfg file in the 2.0 directory. Still no luck.

Then I added "set useBitmapFontRenderer 1" to the file, and again, no change in behavior.

What version of Windows?

What video card do you have? What version of the video driver?

It's an HP Compaq 6910p laptop in a docking station with external monitor.

The OS:
Microsoft Windows XP
Professional
Version 2002
Service Pack 2

Video card:
ATI Mobility Radeon X2300
Driver version 8.391.0.0


I try bring up BZFLag both full screen and windows, in both cases it is completely transparent. With the window, I see the window frame, but It's like nothing at all is being written to the frame buffer, as I still see the windows behind the bzflag window.

Where did you get your BZFlag installer from? Because you shouldn't need to create the directories or files you specified above. BZFlag should do it automatically when you run it.

It's version 2.0.10, and I downloaded it from SourceForge.net. The file was bzflag-2.0.10.exe

There's a newer driver for your video card available from HP. Install that and see if it works.

That seems to work. In windows mode it looks the view if suffering from a moire effect, but there is a picture now.

Thanks!
