Noedit:

I actually didn't even need to change compatibility types. They run perfectly fine without any settings needing changed.

Did your device come preinstalled with Windows 8? In that case, the manufacturer will likely release a newer driver for it soon if not already.
Nope
Press Windowskey+R then type in "dxdiag", and enter. Go into display and see what you have.
What video card do you have?
If there's no video card, what CPU do you use?

I'm running Windows 8.1 on both computers and I changed the compatibility type on the Blockland executable and worked for me.
Same error.


Sadly it looks like your hardware is just too old to receive the needed compatibility updated. I'm sorry for you.

Help really needs to have a courtesy edit time.

I updated last night and I did not encounter any issues.

You have a pretty old integrated GPU from ~2009.
