# FAQ for Stratagus Version 2.1

For any questions not mentioned here, please visit http://stratagus.org.

Q: gzseek already defined or undefined.
A: You have an incompatible libpng version, install the latest version.

Q: .depend:1: *** missing separator. Stop.
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.

Q: Does Stratagus work with ALSA?
A: Yes, if you compiled SDL with alsa support and you compiled stratagus using SDL video mode.

Q: What ports does the Stratagus network protocol use?
A: 6660 by default, you may start stratagus with '-Pxxxx' flag to use port xxxx instead.

Q: Does stratagus support internet/metaserver play?
A: Not yet, but this is a planned feature and may be added for 2.2

Q: I get only a black window after I have installed it on windows. What have I done wrong?
A: Install Stratagus to the C: drive. This has solved the problem for everybody who has had this bug.

Q: Stratagus runs really slow in large resolutions, what can I do?
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.

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?
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.

Q: My question isn't answered here.
A: Submit a support tracker item.
