What version of BZFlag? What operating system? Is this a specific server, or any of the servers?

You must only remove all cache files

When you use windows, then: My Documents/ My BZflag Files/cache

thats all

Or you could delete all the cahces, and simply reinstall it.

Hmm, try creating a new world cache with the command prompt (if you're in windows) use Terminal if you're in mac

I'm Not familiar with windows, so i cant tell you how

Reinstalling it will not remove your offending cache files. You must delete your cache folder:

Code: Select all

C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My BZFlag Files\cache

Drag the whole "cache" folder to the Recycle Bin.

If you don't do this, it's gonna keep on complaining about your cache files.

BZFlag will recreate that folder when you join a server. You do not need to create it.

I recall that storing BZFlag's files on a network drive has problems...

Someone else with a little more expertise with this area will have to answer, sorry.

k thnx for trying tho

Yes, BZFlag cannot read or write to My Documents when it is set to an UNC path (such as \\SharedServer\SharedFolder\YourDocuments). You either have to change My Documents to point to a local directory, or you have to map a drive to that network share and adjust your My Documents location appropriately. Ask the one in your family that set up that functionality to help you further and/or use the Windows Help system.
