| ==Global Login Not Identifying== | | =Index of issues= |
| If you get the following error upon entering or finding servers...
| |
| ERROR: Did not get token:
| |
| NOTOK: Invalid callsign or password
| |
| It may be caused either by the global login system being down (which you can check by going to [http://my.bzflag.org/bb/ the BZBB]) or your ISP putting a caching proxy on port 80. This means that when your client goes to get a token from global login, your ISP returns an old cached token which will not work. If there is a proxy, then the following steps will allow you to bypass it.

| |
|
| *Open your [[Config File|configuration file]]
| | {|{{Prettytable}} |
| *Locate the line that reads:
| | |- |
| #set list <nowiki>http://my.bzflag.org/db</nowiki>
| | | {{Hl3}} |'''Global Authentication''' |
| *Change the line to read:
| | |- |
| set list <nowiki>http://my.bzflag.org:81/db</nowiki>
| | |} |
| *Save the file and restart BZFlag

|
| If you continue to get the error above then either global login is down or there is a more serious problem (in which case you should get [[:Category:Support|support]]). | | If the following message appears: |
| | | NOTOK: Invalid callsign or password |
| ==Slow Performance==
| |
| The performance of the BZFlag client is very dependent on the performance of the system's video card. Slow performance is often a problem when the host OS does not have the proper video card drivers to provide the needed acceleration for the 3D drawing the game does.
| |
| | |
| It is always a good idea to get the latest video drivers from the chipset manufacturer for your card.
| |
| This as almost always either [http://www.nvidia.com nVidia] or [http://www.ati.com ATI].

| ==I can't kill anyone!==
| |
| If your shots seem to go right through other tanks without exploding them, you are probably experiencing [[lag]]. Tip: shoot slightly ahead of where other tanks appear to be.

| |
| ==Crashes==
| |
| If your client crashes on startup or some key mappings don't work you might try removing your [[Config File|configuration file]] and restarting BZFlag. You will have to set things like video mode and username/password again after removing it.
| |
|
| |
|
| If you are running Linux and get segmentation fault errors when trying to connect to a server, update libcurl3 to 7.15.5 or greater.
