Author Topic: key.dat no longer works.  (Read 1290 times)

After getting Invalid Packet = 1 in my friend's server, I figured it was time to reinstall Blockland, so it would come off as clean. Before that, I was looking in the Blockland files, seeing what they would do. I accidentally launched key.dat and it was opened with Nero Showtime. I thought it was harmless, so I proceeded to launch the game. While the console was loading up, it said "Blockland could not write to key.dat file. This can be caused by running the game from a Read-Only directory or  a CD-ROM" I thought it did nothing. Later on, I uninstalled so I can reinstall. After reinstalling, I opened up Blockland, typed my key in and got that same message. Can anyone help me out here?


Try deleting it.
It said:
Cannot delete key: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use.

Bump. Seriously need help here. If I don't get this solved, I won't be able to play BL ever again. :/

Close Blockland.

Close Nero Showtime.
Not just the window but the entire program.

How am I supposed to do that with Windows XP?


Forgot to mention in the processes tab.

Doesn't show up in the processes.


You opened a file that's read and writed to in another program and then couldn't understand why blockland couldn't read it?

And then you thought the best solution would be to reinstall blockland!?

i know this doesn't help but the stupidity makes my brain hurt.

Right click, open with, blockland.exe, set as default.

Noedit: Or perhaps notepad, so your key isn't a link to Blockland.

Right click, open with, blockland.exe, set as default.
Seems like it worked. Thanks.
