Author Topic: Validating Key...  (Read 1321 times)

Hey, I have been playing Blockland for around 5-6 years now. I have never had this issue on my old mac when I first started playing, but now once I got a new windows desktop this problem occurred. Many of the results I have found online haven't fixed my problems and I saw a post referring me back to the main forums to ask this question. Basically, all Blockland says once I load it up is Validating Key... I can't join any of the servers or play Blockland at all (except single player). A solution would be great since I want to get back into it. Blockland still works on an old mac that I have perfectly, but my Blockland on my windows desktop works neither at my school's network or at my home network.

Thanks, Gunnar

Hmm... Have you tried PMing badspot?

Sounds to me like your firewall is blocking Blockland.
Can you turn it off for a sec to see if that fixes it?

I actually tried to add him on steam, but I can do that.

To the second response below, I have turned off firewall and nothing changed.

Can you test to see if something else is blocking the connection?

http://master2.blockland.us/
http://auth.blockland.us/

The first one should show the master list, the other should just give "auth.blockland.us"

For me, the first one shows up with the master list and the other one says auth.blockland.us just like you said.

Okay that is good, that means it is something specifically with Blockland and not the connection.
Have you tried reinstalling it or validating game cache for Steam versions?

When you entered your key, did it connect then once or have you never been able to validate your key?

May I ask what antivirus you are using?

Oh and knowing your operating system would also help.
What version of Windows are you using? 7, 8 or 10?

Just started having this issue, I waited 2-ish minutes and it eventually athenticated.

I can't remember if it has connected in the past and I am using windows defender. I am also using windows 10.

Lol, badspot doesn't use his steam profile

Who's your network provider?

Lol, badspot doesn't use his steam profile

What does he use then?

Badpsot will be active via his email or PM here. That's the fastest way.

I use the same setup so it shouldn't cause issues.
Still, can you test with your antivirus off?

You are also using Windows build-in firewall right?
If you use a third party firewall and turned that off then maybe Windows firewall blocked it.

Can you wait 10 minutes to see if it activates?

An other thing you can try is re-entering your key.
