Today i got a notice of a new byond version so i upgraded to it and tried to enter a new game which failed (results bellow). After trying a few more times i logged into another account and got the same results. Then thinking with the update it might be some incomparable code i downloaded a new game and got the same results. After which i rebooted my computer and installed a fresh v479.1086 client and got the same results. Then i installed a v478.1085 client and everything was back to normal. Unknown if it does the same with a program compiled in v479.1086 as i suspect they where compiled under older versions.
Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
1. Install a fresh byond v 479.1086/ or update a previous version of byond to this version.
2. Log in
3. Try to enter a already loaded game or download a new one.
