So this basically sums it up Blockland wont run. I reinstalled multiple times.

HELP would be appreciated

Oh my gosh! This is the same exact problem I am having!

yeah I know it really bugs.
I just got it to work then joined a server then after about 1 hour it crashed and wont work again.

Its not very uncommon it seems. You can play, but you must delete your prefs.cs
Blockland/config/prefs.cs

Make a backup. I dont know when this will be fixed.

From what I've gathered there is a problem with fullscreen. And the reason why when you delete prefs.cs is it puts it back into windowed. Play in windowed mode and you should be fine..

K thanks so much man il give that a try I usually am able to fix my own issues with blockland but Ive had so many problems with the new update that I just dont have the time. :cookieMonster:

and your avatar gives me a migrane.

which prefs .cs the ones in server or in client

Client.

This removes all options.
Thus getting you out of fullscreen

Ok thanks guys I figured stuff out for now.
