Hi,
My friend have the problem. He has never played in BYOND. And now he tried to start. But after installing and booting BYOND, he can't log in or do anything. He has the endless loading that shows the progress bar with 100% of loading.
How can we fix that?

The most likely cause is that his documents folder is linked to OneDrive. The BYOND folder in that should be unlinked from OneDrive, or else the BYOND user data directory should be put somewhere else.

A way to move the data folder is:

1) Open up the registry editor by typing "regedit" at the start menu.
2) Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Dantom\BYOND.
3) Edit the userpath value to something else like C:\BYOND instead.
4) Create the directory you just pointed to.

Be sure first to shut any BYOND programs down via the task manager.

We tried. It gave nothing. He still has "endless loading"

Can you offer more information? Screenshots?

Since Unicode support was added, OneDrive is pretty much the only reason anymore that this happens. I'd be absolutely shocked if it isn't grabbing the folder inappropriately and that's the source of the problem.
