After recovering from some Hard Disk failure and all, I tried to join a BYOND game, but everytime I try to join it just says thats its loading and thats all. I wait for like ten or so minutes before giving up. Tried clearing my cache, reinstalling BYOND, and just tried to keep waiting for the game to let me in.

Have you made BYOND an exception in your firewall? Don't forget to allow Dream Seeker also.

For a test disabling your firewall and join a game, if that works enable the firewall and add the exceptions properly.

Nope I turned the Firewall off and tried connecting, but it still wouldn't let me, also added the exception for BYOND and Dreamseeker on the Firewall, but still nothing.

Hi Master Link,

Can you try uninstalling and reinstalling BYOND as an administrator(Right click > Run as administrator)?

If that doesn't correct the problem, try deleting the BYOND folder by opening the BYOND pager > File > Preferences > Advanced > Open user directory > Go up one level > Rename the BYOND folder to OldBYOND > Completely close the BYOND pager.

Good luck!
