Hi everyone, hope somebody could help me,

Ubuntu 22.04 has a buggy version of SDL2 that broke BZFlag, and Ubuntu hasn't resolved it by either fixing SDL2 nor applying the patch to BZFlag that I provided.

I would suggest removing the version from apt and instead installing the snap version via:

Code: Select all

snap install bzflag

Thanks for your help!

I tried to remove the version installed and install via snap but bz doesn't start anyway, if I try to run it from terminal it returns

Code: Select all

$ bzflag

That error feels like your Ubuntu upgrade isn't 100% complete. The snap worked for me on both a virtual machine and a new install on a physical system.

Thanks for the hint blast, I'll try to find out what's wrong
