I can't get shaders anymore.

[Thé Lord Tony]

So I use to have shaders and now the game doesn't allow me to enable shaders anymore. I don't understand why and console is not saying anything anymore.

Yes I updated drivers.

Can you use shadows? Exactly what options are greyed out?

If you can't even enable minimum, you can turn them on with $shader::enabled = true;

Everything is greyed out and nothing about it shows up on console.

Try going to your Blockland folder and then deleting the folder called "shaders".

I'm not sure. Let Badspot know about it.

If he ever reads this topic.

Does anyone else know?

Have you recently updated the drivers on your GPU?


Some people say that there is sometimes hidden small updates done to Blockland that change the requirements for shaders.

However in the console it looks like there is something wrong with your shader files, have you considered completely reinstalling blockland?Make sure everything is unchecked from read only, even if you have been using some sort of texture replacement.

Would this actually work, have you tried it before?

I don't think you have to reinstall.

Try deleting these files:

Code: [Select]

cache.db
shaders folder
This will force the game to download a new copy of the shader files from online.
