BZFlag 2.4.6 is coming soon, and today we're releasing the second release candidate. Since the RC1 build, this just fixes some issues with brightness/gamma not being restored properly.

Downloads:

• Windows Installer
• Mac OS X 10.7+ package
• Source tar.bz2
• Source tar.gz
• Source .zip (Ideal for building on Windows)

Added a Mac OS X 10.7+ package from Constitution. Since we also use SDL2 on OS X, it also seems to have taken advantage of the brightness fixes.

Tadah.........

Fixes the windows 10 AMD drivers issue and restores the Gamma......

Many thanks

Installing this version brings up a malware error in Windows Defender.

Windows Defender points to this being installed:
https://www.microsoft.com/security/port ... terprise=0

Any idea if this threat is real, or a false positive? For the time being, I've removed 2.4.6 RC2.

Details:

Category: Trojan

Description: This program is dangerous and executes commands from an attacker.

Recommended action: Remove this software immediately.

Sounds like a false positive to me, or your system was already infected with something when you downloaded it. I just scanned the directory with an updated Windows Defender and it found nothing. And on VirusTotal, only one generic hit from some AntiVirus from China:

I have a brand-new machine (Windows 10) and Windows Defender flagged the installer as the same Trojan reported above.

Sucks, because I really wanted to play it

I replaced the 2.4.6-RC2 installer with a new one that doesn't trigger a false positive in Windows 10's Windows Defender.

I just wanted to see if the change to the machine gun flag was intentional. On 2.4.2, for example mg is like a regular flag and shoots when you "fire". 2.4.6 RC2 on Mac, when I shoot with mg, it continues to shoot as if I were holding down the key until I either click, or press one of my keys mapped to shoot. I also have scroll wheel mapped to shoot but scrolling again does not make it stop. I'm not sure if this is a semiautomatic machine gun feature or a bug

That's been an issue for a long time with MG for those who map fire to the mouse wheel. The mouse wheel does not trigger a "button up" event, so the MG never stops.
