Author Topic: Can't start BL on Steam  (Read 1499 times)

First off, I'd like to say I'm on a mac, just to avoid further confusion. So. Whenever I start BL on Steam, the icon shows up in the dock. But after a couple seconds, it vanishes without opening any windows. I've uninstalled and re-installed multiple times. At this point, I'm clueless.

Are you video drivers up to date? Are you using a proper monitor? If so then you may have to go into a config file to change the resolution and/or drop out of full-screen mode.

Apologies for the delay. I've done everything you suggested. I've checked the drivers, dropped the resolution, and changed to windowed mode. All of which lead to nothing.

Would you mind posting the console.log of attempting to start the game even after dropping the resolution as well as in windowed mode?

As requested

Lol wrong config. Go to your Blockland directory and navigate to the config/client/prefs.cs file, using any basic text editing software open it up and find $pref::Video::resolution and set it to something like $pref::Video::resolution = "1280 600 32 60";
Also find and change $pref::Video::fullScreen = "0";

After doing so, if the problem persists please paste both this configuration file as well as a console.log please.

although you should follow thorfin's advice, i should share the fact that this happened to me and i resolved it by just restarting my computer once or twice. i am running windows though, so i don't know if it makes a difference.

The fullscreen thing worked! Thanks mate. All good.
