Happens to all games.

Internet Connection Type:

Problem Description:
Whenever I try to connect to any game, the BYOND loader thing freezes at the "Connectig to .......". I've waited for a half an hour, but it still like this, I've tried all other help methods in the the forum and "Help" but nothing helped me at all. My Firewall is Off and I have let BYOND.exe through Firewall to be sure, I've reinstalled BYOND, I've tried to rename "cfg" and delete "cache", but nothing seems to solve my problem, please help me. I really want to keep playing BYOND.

Steps to Reproduce Problem:
I just turned on the computer normally and started BYOND with no problems, and suddenly the problem occured.

If people experiencing the same problem, then it could be Byond that have crashed or something, but I SEE people playing games right now, soo...

I have exactly the same problem, and I've gone through the same steps.
Just letting anyone reading know that it's not just Yousef.

Please try again. There has been some trouble with the BYOND hub, but that should be back to normal now.

Over here, the problem doesn't seem to be solved. (And I'd like to believe my problem is similar to Yousef's, but I should probably start another thread.)
I still can't get past the "Connecting to ..." screen.

Close BYOND and all it's applications, Run: CMD and type ipconfig /flushdns and restart BYOND.

Flushing the DNS resolver cache fixed it. Thanks for the help!
