"C:\BYOND\bin\dreamseeker.exe" "byond://BYOND.world.1705441940"-pager

is exactly what i get, then i press "accept" and i receive

Could not run dreamseeker.exe (error 000002e4). Perhaps you should reinstall BYOND?

my BYOND folder is in C: because onedrive was causing problems with it, and it had to be somewhere that onedrive wasnt synced to

So Microsoft says this is ERROR_ELEVATION_REQUIRED, meaning you don't have privileges for byond.exe to launch dreamseeker.exe.

This means there's something borked with your permissions and/or your BYOND installation. You shouldn't need elevated permissions for the pager to launch another process.
