Author Topic: CONSTANT Crashing or Lag Out (Read 845 times)

Okay. To play Blockland, I had to upgrade my driver. Not sure if that has much to do with it, but I installed it. It was a while back, and the first week I played, I had no problems.

However, this week, EVERY server I go to except offline ones eventually crashes for me and comes up with the bullstuff message "Blockland encountered a problem an needs to close." If not that, I lag out to the point, where I cannot move, I cannot communicate, and I have to disconnect and rejoin and replay. It's only lag for me, because others type, the area where it shows who's typing shows up fine, others can move, and everything. But for some reason, I lag out.

I run on a Windows XP with a decent graphics card (not great, but decent).

What the forget is the problem?

How the hell do you even know that he has dial-up? Trying to act smart by assuming someone has something doesnt make you look cool.

Anyways, it may be that the driver you installed on your graphics card is not too good at being compatible with blockland, try rolling back the driver.

No edit button >.> This should belong in off-topic. You said EXCEPT offline ones? Thats weird, has there been a recent storm? As you should always have your router plugged into a surge protector.

I don't have dial-up.

We haven't had any storms and it has been in a surge protector. The old one recently was slowly dying to we got a new one, but it worked for a little while after we switched them.

Drivers are fail, join the club, its getting worse with every Driver update. I just recently updated my Drivers yesterday and they crash if I go full screen on flash video players.

Rollback your drivers.
Note: It has nothing to do with your connection.

Didn't think it did.

To fix have an admin d-wand you, or a friend wand you during lagouts. Try using IRC to be saved.

Caution · September 03, 2009, 08:44:42 PM

I can't chat. Kind of hard to tell them to wand me when you can't talk to them.

Just IRC your friend. Also you can be /killed

Being killed doesn't do anything for me.

I just recently downloaded RTB so I can now use IRC, but that isn't a proper fix to the problem. He knows I keep crashing.

Is it on a certain server or on most servers?
If it's only on one, it's not a problem on your end; the internet connection/computer of the host must be bad.

Every online server.
