Descriptive Problem Summary:
Upon opening the pager, the alerts for which games are online pops up. At that time the pager freezes.
And occasionally everything else I have going freezes as well.
Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
Not sure, I do know it started the same night that 500 was released. After downloading 500 it seemed to work fine, but now it's back again doing the same thing.

Does this also happen in 499.1204 (now, anyway)? It sounds like something tied to your account is causing problems and I suspect it's unrelated to 500 specifically.

It doesn't happen very often(probably 3 times in the last week). The first night it occured was the release of 500.

Before then- I don't really remember it occuring.

Although I did experience a problem with the compiler also having run issues yesterday. I'd attempt to run the game, and the dreamseeker would not launch no matter how long I waited.

Multiple frozen instances of the dreamseeker would run but never actually open the game.

After restarting my computer and clean compiling several times it worked fine. Not sure if that is related or not.

The version I was running when it first occurred was 499.1204.

There are zero pager changes in 500.1209 vs. 500.1208. Whatever the cause of the freeze was, evidently it cleared up after you shut down the pager and installed another version. I suspect this ties into the lingering feed tab bug from 499, and may be a website thing rather than a software thing (that is, maybe some info is being delivered that's confusing the software), but I haven't had any firm leads yet.

This has been happening to me on 500.1210 and 499.1204
A lot. I've no idea but I'm having a hard time connecting to byond with my Main account.
