low disc computer space yes, but not at the time when it freezes

OS is operating system, most likely Windows XP...

Maybe give a 2.0.5b a try? (in the Releases and Versions forum)

I assumed it is Windows because of this line: "im so rry im not very literate at computer stuff"

Well, when most people don't know their OS (or what it stands for) they just bought a computer and figure it's the only thing out there, all there is is Windows. Just like the "Blue E" is the Internet to some.

I'm not being mean, I'm just catering to the normal, non-geek person. Please, no one take offense.

)

Anxiety, this is what worked for me. Quit playing for about 9 months then come back and it works great!

CVSing mite help too.

What is "CVSing"??

Winny · Post by **Winny** » Sat Mar 25, 2006 10:55 pm

CVS:

basically a place to download the code of bzflag, it is updated more often the realeased builds of the game.

(you must build it yourself)

Therefore, you'll need Linux, and / or a (expensive ?) software from Microsoft.

You can also use Dev-C++ or Microsoft's Free Visual C++ Express (I am not sure if BZFlag supports the latter, though).
