This is what I sent him last night. Maybe it will be enough. A 50 50 chance are not good odds, ha!
Blockland will not load.
« July 05, 2012, 09:22:27 PM »
I'm new, so please excuse my noobie-ness.
I bought this game for my son. I updated his video drivers to the most current and we are still having issues. When he starts the program, it goes through the process of downloading, etc on the screen with the clouds. Sometimes it will not load the 999 +/- items. It stops at 998, or something like that. When it does download, etc. a command box pops up, along with another box that is blank, no picture, and has Blockland in the top left corner. This is in the command box that pops up:

After that has loaded into the command box, nothing else happens. I can't type in the command box. I go to close out the cmd box and game by clicking on the top right hand corner of the command box and the black Blockland box disappears. The command box doesn't disappear. I try to close it by Ctrl+Alt+Delete, but task manager will not shut it down. My web browser wont even connect to his homepage, so I have to restart the computer. I read somewhere about opening up port 2800 but that didn't work either. Like I said, I've updated his video drivers. He installed the AMD patch. His video card is a couple of years old but mine isn't. I've downloaded it and tried it on mine with the same result and my drivers are up to date as well.
I am not a complete idiot when it comes to this stuff. I know how to port forward. I had to do it for Minecraft and Teamspeak so he and I can play on our server. When I try to run Blockland on my computer, the Teamspeak or Minecraft server is not active.
I've searched so many websites trying to find an answer. I've even e-mailed Blockland support and never got a response. He wants to play it and it's so irritating trying to get it right. I didn't think it would be this difficult.
I think I've explained this the best I can. If anything is unclear, let me know and I will try my best to explain it better. I thank you in advance for any and all information that has us heading in the right direction, my son will deeply appreciate it, as will I.
