Blockland authentication problem: "Validating Key..." Forever.
Niels567:
Hello,
Recently, last 3 months I think, my Blockland has stopped working. It seems there is a connection problem between my laptop (17.x" Asus G73Sw) and the master server. Whenever I log on to Blockland, at the bottom, where my name should be present, it just says "Authentication: Validating Key...". It just stays like that, and it only changes to "Offline Mode" if I enter a singleplayer game. When I log on from my desktop, on the same network (LAN/WiFi) connection, it works. It can also fetch the server list,but not connect to any servers, without any specified reason.
I have tried:
* Restarting Blockland
* Doing a clean reinstall (Everything removed, then reinstall)
* Restarting my PC
* Restarting router/internet connection
* Shutting down Firewall (also Anti-Virus, Bullguard, firewall) and starting the game
* Reentering my keyI have attached my launcher and console log, crossing my fingers that you can spot the problem there.

You might have to port forward.
Niels567:
It automatically selects a random port to use, from what I have observed, which is why I didn't mention forwarding, which I have also tried.

Please try connecting to http://auth.blockland.us/ and http://master2.blockland.us/
Post the results.
Badspot:
Authentication happens as a normal web request on port 80. The launcher downloads files in the same manner and that is working for you, so this connection method works fine. You have some external program that is either specifically stopping the Blockland executable from connecting to the internet or removing PHP session cookies and breaking the authentication process.
