This issue has been resolved.
Descriptive Problem Summary:
When clicking on a new game to play, it takes me to the standard BYOND splash screen and simply says, "Your game will begin shortly." However the game never loads.

Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem: Unknown, seems to be working for other people. All I have to do is try to play a game.

Expected Results: Join the game.

Actual Results: Never connects

Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often? Select servers, not even game specific.
In other games? Some servers
In other user accounts? Not Tested
On other computers? Not tested

When does the problem NOT occur? Most other games.

Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? Yes, it just started recently after a series of power outages.
Happened to me as well. The Dream Seeker process would still be running with no window or any sign outside of the task manager that it was running.
Do you suppose that a simple restart would fix it? It's so sporadic that I can't even track any patterns when it occurs. I just know that it happens to some games, some of the time.
