I play BZflag normally in fullscreen, but i have played it once in Window-mode- Since then BZFlag has a bug. I start BZflag in fullscreen but the BZflag screen doesnt fill my desktop, ders a great border around at the right and bottom. Nothing works, i installed it new, i started it in fullscreen, Window, fullscreen, as admin, but it doesn't work. But if i change the videoformat, it lokks as normal. Also the older version (2.0.

Nvidia Geforce 8500 GT

Is htis bug known? If yes, can someone post me a link how to fix it?

The easy fix is to go into 'My Documents\My BZFlag Files\2.0' and delete/rename your config.cfg file. The slightly more work way is to open your config.cfg file with your favorite text editor (Notepad on windows) and look for a line that looks like 'set resolution "1680x1050 @60Hz 32 bits"'. Change it to your correct fullsize screen resolution and you should be all set.

PS I usually just delete my config.cfg ...

And your English was very understandable, nothing to be sorry about.

I had this problem too, the way I fixed it was to press F1 twice each time I started it. That changes the screen to windowed and back again, and when it comes back it's fullscreen.

Deleting the config file will reset my key mapping, correct?

Yes it will reset your key mappings, but you can copy them out before deleting it, then paste them back into your new config file.

The issue was probably that you had used -geometry at some point, and had that geometry setting saved in your configuration file.
