No server on Byond works for me. Every single server opens and says "connecting" then closes instantly after 2-3 seconds. I've tried 15 servers and they're all the same. Says connecting then closes. Completely reinstalling Byond including deleting all config files etc and still doesn't work.

Byond is completely broken for me.

Lummox JR	It sounds like something on your system is broken, or there may be some antivirus interference marking BYOND as a false positive.

Cartlord	Lummox, I'm pretty sure it's not an issue on their end judging by the sheer number of people who've reported their BYOND client crapping out lately.

Lummox JR	If it's happening to some people but not others, it points to a system issue.

Timberso	In this case I think it was something on my system. I swapped out my hard drive for one with a windows backup I made a few weeks ago and it worked fine. Something I installed/changed in the last 3 weeks broke byond and only byond because everything else works perfectly fine from what I can tell.
