Dreamseeker.exe crashing moments after launch anytime I try to join a server in byond. No dreamseeker window appears and there are no visual indicators of it launching, however I can see it appearing in the process manager and crashing momentarily after. The issue seems to occur in byondcore.dll, however I have no idea what might be causing it. The crash occurs on byond 5.0.515.1636. Crash eventData from windows event viewer attached below.

You most likely don't have the Visual C++ runtimes installed correctly. They should've been detected and installed with the software, but you can go to the link on the downloads page to reinstall them.

If that fails to fix the problem, then the next step is to try to get a minidump of the process. Instructions for how to set that up are here:

Hey, thanks for getting back so fast. I am sure that the problem has nothing to do with vcruntime as I have reinstalled it using the link from the byond website multiple times. Here I attached the dump file and its contents below:

Lummox JR	I'll take a look. It appears that's actually a full dump rather than a minidump, which is usually too big, but I'll try to make sense of it.
