Author Topic: Authentication: Validating Key...  (Read 5167 times)

I bought Blockland about a week ago on steam and every time I run it says Authentication: Validating key..., I tried multiple times to reinstall, restart and even updated my drivers, I put it on windows 7 compatibility mode, I set it to run on administrator I used an administrator account and installed it into another folder and... nothing, when I try to enter an online game it either says "Connecting to ####### or it says I can not connect to master server,  then I went to my grand parents house and tried my laptop there and it works fine there but it's a slow computer so I have to put everything on low and it looks ugly lol.

I really want to try out Blockland it looks like a really fun and enjoyable game and it kinda reminds me the old days of Roblox.

Oh and by the way I tried that Blockland.us thing and it pops up "Blockland.us" at the top left corner if that's what it's suppose to do...

doing a search on topics like this previously yields various results/solutions but nothing definitive

what is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? are you in the US or are you elsewhere? any antivirus software running?

My ISP is bell and at my grandmas its either bell or Cogeco I made sure that my firewall and Bitdefender trusted Blockland,
I live in Canada, Ontario.

This is the same problem I was just having.

Try the things I tried, specifically disabling superfetch service, then soft restarting your computer. It seemed to have fixed the problem, especially if you're like me and you tend to leave your computer running all the time.

I shut down my computer all the time and I have no clue what superfetch is...
 :cookie: I'm sorry I had to add this

Well I'm going to head off for the night see yalls tommarrow

Alright I looked a bit on the internet again and can't really find an answer to this problem for people it just "magically" gets better. So if this doesn't get better soon then I'm just stuck with my laptop until I get a new computer.

I disabled superfetch and soft restarted my computer and its still saying authentication.

Superfetch is when you wake up your computer the system starts caching stuff

I can't have it on because it constantly overloads disk usuage



Try disabling your antivirus program for a while and see if you still get stuck on authentication

I hope this will get fixed soon lol

worst comes worst, refund it and buy it off amazon. the amazon one uses an authentication key, which seems to be more reliable or at least easier to figure out what exactly is going wrong.

Well it might just be my computer because I find lots of problems with games lately, it might be windows 7, so like I said I might be getting a new computer soon but for now I'll just play on my laptop with windows 10...


Is there any other .exe files that I can put into windows 7 compatibility  (I'm too lazy to go thew all the files lol)
