Why does it seem unfair to you? Just be grateful that you get to play for one full hour instead of not being able to play at all.

Your having some tiling issues still, because it looks like what you're doing is just applying some sort of noise or texture effect to your layer, which very rarely works in hi-res texture packs, as has been stated already. Tiling is really simple, and once you get the hang of it, you can do some pretty intricate designs that tile really well.

I'm assuming you're at least using Paint.NET, but any programme with layers will work.

It took me more time to crop and upload the images than it did to do this texture:

Start off with your texture in the size you'll be working. Give it a solid base colour, just so you can see what you're doing.



Expand the canvas (the image SIZE; not resolution) by 200%.



On a new layer, start outlining the bit that you want to tile. Go out of the boundary of your coloured square. Sometimes by a lot, sometimes by just a little bit.



Copy that layer and make it invisible. We'll need it again in a little bit. On the copy of the layer, move the bits of the outline that went over the canvas over to the very edges of coloured square. The square select and nudge tools are your friend, because they keep everything lined up perfectly.



Go back to the INVISIBLE layer and make it visible again. Using the bits that you moved over, fill in the gaps. The layer we cut up, we're going to ignore for now. You can make it invisible now, if you want, but don't delete it. You'll need it again later.



Now, do all your colouring and texturing. Don't texture anything that's broken up. Texture the bits that go outside of the lines. You can do this on as many layers as you need, and then just flatten them later. Or, if you're really patient, move all the layers separately.



Which is what you do now. The same way you moved the guide layer, use the square select tool and nudge everything over so it matches up with your guide.



Now resize your canvas back down to the proper dimensions. You can use the crop tool, or if you expanded it 200%, just cut it by 50%.



And last, if you still want to, you can use texture or noise overlays. But be very careful, because even though the bits that I've drawn tile perfectly (even if it is poorly laid out), the texture very obviously doesn't.
