The master server shows that you're using a laptop. When playing an intensive game like Blockland, make sure you are on AC power rather than battery power. Some laptops will limit the performance of your graphics card and cpu to save battery power. Also, make sure your laptop is not getting too hot as that will also cause the performance to be dialed back. It's best if you prop it up a little bit to allow air to flow underneath.
I should probably make this a FAQ entry.
Sillyjuly:
Both were alright. My power plan is on High Perfromance also. Can you please help me?

Your problem has nothing to do with the graphics. However, it would be nice to be able to choose, because of features in Direct3D, such as 3D-movie style graphics, so you can wear 3D glasses and have things pop out of the screen. I'm sure OpenGL has it's own advantages, but I don't know what they are.
