Stop.</b><br> A: The .depend file is broken, simply 'rm .depend' and 'make depend' again. If the problem still occurs, you will need to 'make' without making dependencies first.<p> <b>Q: Does Stratagus work with ALSA?</b><br> A: Yes, if you compiled SDL with alsa support and you compiled stratagus using SDL video mode.<p> <b>Q: What ports does the Stratagus network protocol use?</b><br> A: 6660 by default, you may start stratagus with '-Pxxxx' flag to use port xxxx instead.<p> <b>Q: Does stratagus support internet/metaserver play?</b><br> A: Not yet, but this is a planned feature and may be added for 2.2<p> <b>Q: I get only a black window after I have installed it on windows. What have I done wrong?</b><br> A: Install Stratagus to the C: drive. This has solved the problem for everybody who has had this bug.<p> <b>Q: Stratagus runs really slow in large resolutions, what can I do?</b><br> A: Versions of Stratagus from 2.1 update the screen every frame, and are designed to be used with OpenGL support. Using Software/SDL to update large screens is too slow and will cause the game to be slow. Use OpenGL if possible, or play in 640x480.<p> <b>Q: I have installed the windows version, when I start Stratagus I get only the splash screen and the game stops, but consumes 100% CPU. What have I done wrong?</b><br> A: Please wait for a couple of minutes for the game to start. There are some machines (Win98 and Win2000) that will still not start after some time. On all machines I have tested it, it works. I have no idea where the problem is, any help is welcome.<p> <b>Q: My question isn't answered here.</b><br> A: Submit a <a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=84903&atid=574266">support tracker item</a>.<p> <hr> (C) Copyright 1998-2004 by The <a href="http://stratagus.sf.net">Stratagus</a> Project under the <a href="gpl.html">GNU General Public License</a>.<br> All trademarks and copyrights on this page are owned by their respective owners.<br> </body> </html>
