Author Topic: STEAM BUG: Blockland hangs as a process on startup.  (Read 1593 times)

I've been having this weird-ass bug since yesterday where I can't start up BL using Steam. Any time I try, Steam will freeze for roughly five seconds and then the blockland process will hang around, not starting the actual application or anything, at roughly 64,000 bytes of space.

Actually, as I was about to post this, it launched, but that still doesn't solve this in entirety-  I don't want to wait seven minutes just to start the game. Also, it seems to have strange problems ingame - the actual game will freeze up every 30 seconds, and my key won't validate.

This is really strange.
Managed to get a console log from the one time it actually started, it's attached.

This happened to me with Civilization V

I was pissed D:

Code: [Select]
winState.hGLRC does not exist
  winState.appDC does not exist
  winState.appWindow does not exist
  newFullScreen...
Changing the display settings to 1920x1080x32@60Hz...
  ChangeDisplaySettings worked
Creating a new full-screen window...
Acquiring a new device context...
  setting pixel format
Pixel format set:
  32 color bits, 24 depth bits, 8 stencil bits
Creating a new rendering context (2)...
Making the new rendering context current (2)...
  wglMakeCurrent worked

This seems to be something

It's changing the display. I think I did that in an attempt to not have my computer be unable to change programs when it lags.

This is still happening to me, so I'm going to try a reinstall, and replacing my saves, screenshots, addons, and cache.db after the reinstall.
If steam will ever loving open.

Sounds like a steam bug then.
How'd you fix it on there, if at all?

noedit: i'm going to try clearing out steam's caches and see if that'll help fix it, it appears to be a steam-related problem.

jesus christ it takes forever

Well, I found the problem.
My E: drive forgeted itself over and is no longer usable.
Gonna need to find a way to restore it. No clicking though, which is good, so it's not a physical problem.
Had Steam and a bunch of backups on there though. Gonna need to reinstall Steam, but hopefully I can restore the drive to get files off of it.
