Common Support Issues

The Common Support Issues page lists a number of the common problems with the game, and their resolutions.

Documentation

The game is documented via a series of manual pages ( or man pages ). On Linux and other Unix like operating systems they are installed by default and can be accessed by using the man command and one of the following pages.

• bzflag
• bzfs
• bzadmin
• bzw

On Microsoft Windows and Apple OSX the manual pages are in HTML format. They are installed in the start menu for Windows, or in the extras folder on the install DMG for OSX.

The man pages are also available online in HTML format: NOTE: As of June 2007 there is a problem with the man page conversion to HTML and the web manuals are NOT CORRECT! Use the man pages from source. Corrected versions are being made, and will be posted on this wiki.

• bzflag
• bzadmin
• bzfs
• bzw

Further Support

If none of these methods provide a resolution to your problem, the project maintains a support tracking system on SourceForge. New tickets can be opened at this URL:
