Blockland Launcher stops at "setting pixel format"

[honytawk]

After doing a big update on Windows 10, I can't start Blockland anymore.
It worked perfectly before on Windows 10.
But it seems like the update deleted a couple of programs (yay).

So are there any programs necessary to run Blockland?
I got all .NET frameworks from 4.5 to 4.6.1.
And all Visual C++ versions from 2005 to 2015 (32 and 64 bit)

OpenGL should be default because of the graphics card.
And I updated all drivers.

I have reinstalled Blockland a couple of times, as well as use the files from my previous (working) version.

The launcher console stops at:

Code: [Select]

Acquiring a new device context...
 setting pixel format
The launcher log on the other hand, says this:

Code: [Select]

Trying to launch game with CreateProcess, binary is 'C:\Users\DoubleD\Documents\Blockland//Blockland.exe'
Shutting down the OpenGL display device...
Making the GL rendering context not current...
Deleting the GL rendering context...
Releasing the device context...

Anyone got an idea as to why this problem occurs?

No one?

I have generally run out of ideas as to what the problem may be.

I tried disabling my Nvidia GTX 860m driver so it could only use my Intel HD graphics and that worked.
So the problem definitely lies with my graphics card.
But like I said, I did update my driver and the driver is opengl 4.5 compatible.

After I disabled the Intel HD driver, Blockland worked too.
But then I had some weird issues with alignment of the window and could only select 1080p.

But it gave me more information about the problem.
I came across this topic:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/368500/discussions/0/485623406962634031/
Which has the solution to directly set the graphics card when 3d is used:

open NVIDIA control panel, manage 3D settings, global settings - choose High Perfomance NVIDIA - enjoy

And that worked!
Both drivers are enabled, the window alignment is correct and I can select all resolutions.


So hopefully this could help other people with the same issue.
