Blockland has the insanely bad habit to take ages to launch when I close it...

[Gragoyle]

...ESPECIALLY if I (in)voluntarily terminate it's process (due to some alt-tab crashing related shenanigan). And considering I need to keep BlocklandLauncher focused at all times when it's booting, this can lead to alot of wasted time. Anyone else has this? I swear I get the weirdest, most non-existant issues (according to Google and such) when it comes to computer things.

This doesn't happen with any other application;

All of my drivers are up-to-date;

The BlocklandLauncher.exe IS on the process list when I execute it, it just takes a thousand years to do anything;

I never had this problem with previous BL versions;

This stops happening when I restart my PC, which leads me to believe that Blockland develops some sort of anti-addiction measure for the user whenever it's exited. No, I'm not willing to restart my computer every few hours, or every few MINUTES if I forget something up;

Here's a related issue of mine.

Maybe I should format my computer since it's been... quite some time since I last did. But that's unrelated.

Sorry for the double post but there's no editing in the Help section, most of my computer's details are on the link I put up in the OP. My Blockland is on the My Documents directory if that's important.

Check if any of your Blockland files are read-only, if they are, make them not read-only.

Other than that, I have no idea what could possibly cause a problem like this.

Hey people, it's been a while.

Alt-tabbing seems to randomly crash or disconnect me out of servers, and in worst case scenario Blockland stops working altogether until I restart my PC. This never happened in v20. Any ideas?

Details:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1

CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 255 @ 3.1 GHz

RAM: 4 GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 669MHz

Motherboard: ASUSTeK Computer INC. M4N68T-M-LE-V2 (AM3)

Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD6850 (Sapphire/PCPartner)

Addons: Will list tomorrow.

Other details: UPnP is off. I play on Windowed mode, Shaders on max, 1280x720 resolution, 100 FOV.

I've went ahead and checked if the game's folders had any read-only files by clicking the folder's properties, and I found out that there was a square on the read-only checkbox. So I selected the whole Blockland folder, set it to read-only and it's sub-things, then set it back to not-read-only. I'll test it in a few minutes to see if that fixed it.

Doing that seemed to have sped up the Blockland reboot process by a minute or so. I'll try again later.
By the way, while testing, I found something funny.



Documents\Blockland//Blockland.exe is a bit... weird.

Is it the launcher that takes forever to work, or the game itself?

It's weird, but it's fine.

Good question. It sounds like he is talking about the launcher though.

If it's the launcher, I have one theory.  But, I need to ask you one question to prove or disprove this theory.

"How many non-default add-ons do you have?"


A while back, I had A MILLION add-ons installed.
This always caused Blockland to take five minutes to load up.
But then, I discovered that the number of add-ons was the problem.
I deleted all my add-ons...and Blockland loaded in five seconds!


If you don't feel like counting, just delete all of your add-ons and see what happens.

No need to delete them. Just rename the add-ons folder.

Right!  Why didn't I think of that?
