Help Finding a server
Help Finding a server
Hello, I used to play BZFlag many many years ago. I have downloaded the game on my laptop and can not seem to find a server at all. Any ideas?

Hi jlobeck,
Welcome back.
Quick question, what happens when you do 'Join Game' -> 'Find Server'?
Are any servers appearing on the list?

Re: Help Finding a server
It seems to be something on your end, since I tried using a 2.4.12 client on Windows and had list server work fine.
There is something which might be preventing connection to the list server.
You might want to try to get further help on IRC.(Edit: Most developers are on #bzflag)
Quick tip: IRC is not instant reply chat, so replies might take a while, depending on who is on and active.
Edit: Forgot to ask, but is BZFlag permitted to go through firewall or is anything possibly blocking it?

Re: Help Finding a server
IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat.
So yes, it is for chatting.
