==Slow Performance==
=Index of issues=
The performance of the BZFlag client is very dependent on a systems video card performance. Slow performance is often a problem when the host OS does not have the proper video card drivers to provide the needed acceleration of the 3D drawing the game does.


It is always a good idea to get the latest video drivers from the chipset manufacture for your card.

==Crashes==


If your client crashes on startup or some key mappings don't work you might try removing your config file and starting again. You will have to set things like video mode and username/password again after removing it.
