My BYOND pager seems to be completely unable to connect to the internet even though i can connect here just fine, i've allowed BYOND on my firewall and antivirus yet it still refuses to connect and i'm unable to log in (stuck on validating forever), or connect to any server. Currently using ver. 516.1652.
Do you have OneDrive connected to your Document folder? If so, try disconnecting it.
I did that and nothing changed, then i deleted the BYOND folder in my documents and it connected to the internet for a second until closing itself and when i reopened BYOND it continued to refuse to connect and i'm stuck on validating again so it clearly CAN connect to the internet but refuses to for some reason.

update: the pager seems to load the donation goal and clicking it along with update notes opens them up in my browser but I still can't log in and the games on the side are not loading at all.
Hrm. . that should have worked. Here's a random thing i've in the past that has had moderate success.

Remove the cfg and cache, then restart your computer. See if it persists.
I did that and now its stuck on "Loading game information...", still connected to the internet for a second and brought back the cfg and cache folders.
Are you using a proxy?
Make sure you have webview2 installed. 516 dropped IE.
No proxy and webview2 is installed as i had 5.16 work before it just stopped for no reason, webview2 is also the only thing that connects to the internet when i looked at my task manager closer, BYOND is just stuck on "Loading game information..." inside the task manager.
