Author Topic: Windows 10 killed my Blockland  (Read 2560 times)

*First post warning*
So my computer decided to update to Windows 10 without my permission while I was at school.Everything was pretty much normal until I attempted to launch Blockland.Instead,it gave me a popup saying
   "Blockland could not detect any suitable display device-Most likely because you do not have the latest drivers installed for your video hardware"
Yesterday,it was working a-okay with no lag/glitches ect.Not all of a sudden Windows 10 comes along and kills my Blockland.
 They also gave links which I went to.It said something about updating my drivers and hardware.Of course,mine is already to the latest version,so now im clueless.
I would really appreciate some feedback or help.Thanks


Ok,I will try to re-install

Hopefully this works

update/install some video drivers. Windows 10 is supposed to do that automatically but there had been reports for nvidia cards not properly updating.

if you run an intel catd, you will notice that after the update you can run shaders, albeit slowly.

Okay,so I re-installed Blockland (also saved my add-ons and maps) and tested it.
Sadly,it didn't work...

Windows 10 is fun

again, update/install video drivers. first figure out what graphics card you are running (check System Info or something like that), the google "[card name here] drivers", find the right one for your system, and install it.

also if your comp runs a nvidia card windows 10 may have "broke" it. theres fixes/workarounds out there on the internet so look them up

Currently surfing the web to find some drivers for my computer

So just now my computer just did an Automatic driver update to find updates available.Of course,it said all of my drivers are up to date.
So now im just plain confused.
I also tried to find Graphic Drivers for Windows 10,which both did not work...

you dont find graphics drivers for windows 10, you find drivers for your video card that is compatible with windows 10.

try rebooting the computer if you install something and it doesnt work/fix/change anything

Windows 10 keeps demanding i update.

Now I wont.

Yep,I wouldn't recommend to upgrade if you really love Blockland unless your going to buy a driver of some sort.

Loving this fight against the power, but i updated a while ago and the only problem was having to boot BL as admin. Total Annihilation isn't a guarantee.

You probably should know that a large majority of us didnt have to install new drivers to run blockland off win10, right.
Also, the problem is your video card drivers are probably outdated. You dont find Windows 10 drivers, those dont exist as far as I know (Someone correct me if im wrong about this, thanks). What you need are video card drives for your GPU that are compatible with Win10

Open the start menu and type 'dxdiag' and hit enter.
When dxdiag finishes loading, click the 'Display' tab.
Tell us all the information in the 'Device' window. We should be able to point you directly to a download for the driver for that hardware for you to try.
