# FAQ for Bos Wars

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 Bos Wars work with ALSA?
A: Yes, if you compiled SDL with ALSA support.

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

Q: Does Bos Wars support internet/metaserver play?
A: Not yet, but this is a planned feature.

Q: Bos Wars runs really slow in large resolutions, what can I do?
A: The engine has to update the whole screen every frame. Use OpenGL or play with a smaller screen resolution.

Q: My question isn't answered here.
A: Ask your question on IRC #bos on freenode.org.
