Cannot see servers. Cannot join servers. Cannot even chat via IRC.

I'm at a total loss as to what's going on. I've not played in a few months, so maybe something got past me that's important.
I build the latest download, version 2.4.24.20220705-MAINT-linux-gnu-SDL2 (gcc 8.3.0) on Devuan (Debian) Linux. I tried to search for servers and it just says, "Searching" without giving any names (I can normally call up a list in about 10s or less. I waited at least 30s). I tried to connect to the last server I went to, Platent-MoFo.com . I connected and was kicked because I needed a "global registration". As you can see, I have a username here and I did fill out the password section.
--I thought I'd ask on librechat, but the server was not listed in hexchat's GUI (at least that I saw,) so I entered it and tried to join only to be disconnected.-- This has been solved. Librechat requires SSL/TLS support.
I cannot even imagine what I should be googling to find a fix.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Are you seeing our three "Message of the day" messages in the chat box right after starting the client? Currently you'd see these three lines:
Code: Select all
Having issues with the server list? Try upgrading your OS and check the forums
BZFlag 2.4.24 is now available. Download now!
Due to recent turmoil at Freenode, we have moved our IRC chat channels to Libera.Chat
For the server list, pull up a terminal and see if "curl -vI
https://my.bzflag.org/db/?action=LIST" works. You should see an "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" in there and it should look like this:
Code: Select all

For the IRC connection, make sure you've told hexchat that you're connecting using TLS.

"Message of the day not available" is what I see. I just did a full dist-upgrade. I'll see if it's possible to do another...
The curl connection works. The output is just like yours above.
libcurl is version 7.74.X.
Hexchat now connects just fine, thanks!

I tried with Devuan 4.0 (with the default Xfce environment) and compiled 2.4.24 from a git clone. It worked fine with all three of the libcurl4-*-dev packages. Try running the game client with debug level 4. That will write out detailed information about the curl connections being made. Just the MOTD request attempt should be enough since it's all going to the same web server.
From a terminal
Code: Select all
blast@devuan40:~/bzflag$ src/bzflag/bzflag -dddd 2> log.txt
Then post the log here. Mine looks like this. Some of the output might look different for you since this was after I tried building with libcurl4-nss-dev (which isn't the default).

Here's the error:
Code: Select all
* ALPN, server did not agree to a protocol
* Failed sending HTTP request
* Closing connection 0
Addendum, I'm on Devaun 3.1 currently. I attempted to switch to 4.0, but there's been some changes (in the dependencies) and I'll need time to figure out what's up with them.

Hmm, are you saying the system is partially upgraded to 4.0? I do notice that curl in Devuan 3.1 is only 7.64.0, but you have 7.74.0 which is from Devuan 4.0. That partial upgrade is likely the source of your problems.

It was in the backports repo.
What I did is change my sources.list to 4.0 and then run apt in download (-d) mode only until I could sort out the problems it's having with the dist-upgrade.

I decided to re-build bzflag just in case. I'm still experiencing the problems described above.

Dunno. It all worked fine for me when I built 2.4.24 on Devuan 4.0, 3.1, and 3.1 w/ curl from backports. Maybe just use our
flatpak version of the game for now.
