Recently today, I have been playing a game and throughout the entire day, the BYOND Version 334 software that I have has constantly been crashing.

I don't know why or what or even how this is happening, but I can assure you it has begun to tick me off. I can stay in the game for a while, then all of a sudden the Dream Seeker just dissappears. What I mean is, there is no sign of freezing or crashing, just, dissappearing. The complete window of Dream Seeker just goes, kaput! As though I closed it, but I haven't.

So, I am going to E-Mail Dantom the .txt file it makes when a crash happens now, I just thought I would post this and see if anyone else has had something of the same problem as me.

Dog Man	Ok, Im no expert on stuff like this. But I dont think its BYONDs fualt. Run a virus scanner. This has happened to me before (Programs just 'poof' dissapear while running), and Im pretty sure its a worm causing this. But like I said Im no expert. -DogMan

Mellifluous	Thanks for the thought Dog Man, but I don't hold any Virus' of Worms that I know of on my System as I regularly check for them. Thanks for your idea though ^_^ --Lee

Dog Man	Ok. Have you tried reinstalling BYOND (Making sure to have no other programs running at the same time)? -DogMan

The only times I've ever had an installation program majorly screw up (unless it was just a terrible installation program :) ) was when I had an antivirus program running. Quitting the antivirus program made it install fine, no problems at all.

Mellifluous	Nah, I found out what was wrong thanks to Tom ^_^ He E-Mailed me back saying he didn't know exactly what was wrong but he said that a corrupted users 'cache' can cause problems like this. So he told me to delete 'byond\users\[me]\cache', so I did. Now it works fine... Thanks Tom!!! --Lee
