Author Topic: Game crashes on Switching Window  (Read 669 times)

I'm running Blockland in window mode but it can also affect me in fullscreen mode. Whenever I switch from Blockland window to another window like 'My Documents' the game crashes upon returning to Blockland. The window doesn't need to be 'My Documents' it could be anything. I assume it has something to do with my graphics card. Also is anyone else having this problem?

Did it explicitly crash or just hang?
If it just hung, then try giving it some time.

It crashed.

"Blockland.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience." 

Try updating your display driver; I would have supplied you with a direct link, however I don't know your OS.

http://www.nvidia.com

Go to "Download Driver"

Then find your chipset and OS, then download the most recent driver.

Thanks, I'll see if this works.

Works, so if anyone else has my type of graphics card and is having the same problem download the latest driver for it.
