Official forums for BZFlag.org

Hello! You've been linked to this post because you're likely facing some trouble connecting to either my bzflag.allejo.io, Purple Panzer, or Planet MoFo servers. Here is a list of questions I'd like you to answer so that I can start helping determine the cause of your connectivity issues.

• What OS are you on?
• What version of BZFlag are you running?
• What is your IP address?
• When you connect to a server, what happens?
  • You can connect fully and can see other players
  • Your client crashes; i.e. your BZFlag window disappears and you have to restart it.
    • If this happens, run BZFlag from the command line (Terminal for *nix or Command Prompt for Windows) and use the -d flag
  • Your client hangs for a few seconds and you see a message saying "Error connecting to server" from the join menu
  • Your client may appear to connect but you receive a red message in your console which some text. Tell me what this text says
  • Something else not on this list
• If you cannot connect to a server, attempt connecting to any map on *all* of these servers:
  • bmbz.freemyip.com
  • allejo.bzflag.io
  • planet-mofo.com
  • 1purplepanzer.mooo.com
