Ok this first screenshot is what I guess the walls should look like ( got it from the loading screen ) and also for some reason even if I put fullscreen on I can still see my tool bar


and this is what my walls look like



and here is a picture of my blocks.. ( as you can see they do not apear to have any ridges in them :( )


and my sky and ground features are also a bit.. well screwed



also here is a pic of my avatar.. as you can see it has some strange lines on it D:



And my Text and in-game menu screws ( wasnt able to get a pic of the ingame menu but it has the same issues as with the text



and to top it off.. The light does not work ( making the tutorial damn hard )



Also a quick note: All these things happen on Multiplayer as well so :(


PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

Hotshot



1st suggestion is reinstall
im pretty sure badspot may have a more detailed solution but its best to try and start at the basics

Yeah this might sound a quite nooby thing just... can you reinstall?
I mean I don't wanna try and reinstall only to find that I can't re-enter my registration key :(

you can
just re download then re enter your key thing

Ok will try that...

I will post again when Im done :D

Nope hasn't worked :(

probably something to do with your graphics card or something
badspot will probably come here and assist soon as this is the first time this type of problem has been reported

Ah cheers anyway..

I just tryed redownloading and installing it but the same problems are still there :(.


Edit: Do you know what I think it might be..

When I click to the download of blockland 1.3 it downloads in like 0.00001 of a second, but its aparently 22.3 mb?! so either the PC is telling the truth or I think somthing has gone wrong with the download link or I have a mega 1337 cable going straight to the blockland server :/

Looks like you might be in windowed mode but at the same resolution as your desktop?  In the options menu, try setting your display settings like this and click apply.


Yeah I have done that :(

and I still get the tool bar

Badspot

maybe try 800x600?

I have tried them all... and no success D:


Also my screen runs at 1024x768x75

so D:

800x600 in windowed? It doesn't matter what your screen runs at, it can support anything lower.

Ok now I dont have the toll bar isnt in the screen BUT I still have all the other problems + I like to run my games with my full window D:

Ok and adding to the list of problems...


I can not see other players on the server straight away when I join I have to hang about for around ten mins before it loads them.. and also I can not see signs like letters etc :(
