crashing shortly after game start.

[captainsparkelez]

i have been playing blockland since about 2010 with zero issue. but lately, the game has crashed within seconds whenever i open it without fail.

i have removed prefs folder, re-opened steam, re-booted my computer, re-installed the game,and downloaded the game from the blockland website. none of this has worked.

if anyone could help me, that would be great.

Yeah, I have the same issue, however, once the Blockland Launcher has finished loading, the Blockland window doesn't show up, causing the game to crash. Here's the log: (NOTE: Very long)

@ALLAN_Buzzy
looks like it can't write to the correct paths
this seems to be a glitch on the mac steam version, instead of trying to write to the BL folder it's trying to write to the root folder

i'm curious if running it as administrator would let it write to the paths, but would probably be safer to run BL without steam if possible
another thing you could try is making symlinks to the correct folders from root, that way when BL tries to write to the root folder, it gets redirected to the BL folder

[captainsparkelez]

i have windows, i have tried running windows without steam, and im gonna need a more thorough explanation of creating symlinks, but thank you for the help youve given so far.

@ALLAN_Buzzy

you are not ALLAN_Buzzy, you are captainsparkelez
he probably should be making his own topic for his own problem, since it is not the same problem
that and for some reason I can't quote his post


also just installed BL on steam, and it appears that the console logs are similar
yours is crashing after receiving stats and achievements from steam, and doesn't make it to the authentication success

something strange that I see with yours is that yours is loading Support_Garage
I'm not sure why this is happening, since you say you have no add-ons and it's a clean install
it doesn't appear to be a default add-on now, since I have just done a clean install and I am missing it

[captainsparkelez]

i deleted support garage and im still crashing, is there a way to remove my stats and steam achievments?
