Fullscreen crashes blockland

[Pragmatic]

Hi, I play on a macbook and when I launch the game it works just fine, but when I go into options and I check full screen and press apply the game doesn't crash, but the window disappears, I can still see the blockland logo on the bottom of my screen but I can't see blockland.

My settings:
Display Driver: OpenGL
Resolution: 800x600
Bit Depth: Default
Refresh Rate: 0
Fullscreen [X]
Borderless []
Disable VSync [X]

Qualities:
Best

Have you by any chance, an other monitor connected to your computer?
A tv screen for example.
Even one that is not activated?

It could be that Blockland goes to fullscreen on the other screen and you don't noticed it.

Can you post your console.log?

[Pragmatic]

I don't have another monitor
how do I access my console.log?
(Sorry I'm new)

steam>steamapps>yourname>common>blockland
You'll find it in there.

Or if you have a retail Blockland, its in the Blockland folder in My Documents

Try turning the resolution up a little. On my previous computer, if I didn't have the resolution high enough the screen would turn white.

Didn't work

[LMS153]

Has it ever worked properly, or has it always done this?

[Pragmatic]

It has always done this

This whole back part is very important to solving the issue at hand. It seems that the failing pixel format caused everything to go downhill, causing everything to error or be invalid. Test somerthing for me: try to edit your bit rate, go fullscreen, and see what happens. Although it probably is not be the case, it might do something.

[Pragmatic]

I can't edit my "bit rate"
I assume you mean the fresh rate? When I click on fullscreen it keeps saying "0"

[Pragmatic]

Now that I've saved the "Fullscreen" option
everytime I launch blockland it launches in "fullscreen"
but of course, full screen doesn't work
and my blockland is messed up now
I can't even play anymore.

[Pragmatic]

I've deleted and re-installed blockland
all of my settings were deleted so I can play now, but full screen still won't work.

[Pragmatic]

Ugh, problem after problem
now that blockland works it won't save my preferences (settings), the way to fix this is to download the blockland launcher demo, put it in the steam folder and re-name it to "Blockland" but the launcher remembers my preferences so it's "stuck" on fullscreen mode again.
