Authentication: Validating Key never ends (except sometimes)

[GrenadeBoy]

Posted a topic like this before, but I got BL on steam and now whenever I launch BL it either says Validating Key forever or it launches successfully. Heres a traced console.log of me typing auth_init_client();

Also OS is Windows XP and ISP is Verizon Fios. Dont flame me pls

Also a clean install doesn't work so don't tell me to rename my addons to addons1 and verify game files

I have this same problem but it never authenticates. For me I think it's because of a parental thing messing up the game.

RTB doesn't load either :C

==>trace(1);
   Console trace is on.

Did you turn trace on, or are my eyes fooling me?

It appears you are having a hard time connecting to auth.blockland.us and when you don't authenticate RTB doesn't load either.

I thought it was fixed for a second because everything was working for about 5 times in a row and then it stopped

Blockland has been DDoS'd a lot lately, RTB is basically down for good now. It's happening to all of us.
