This issue has been resolved.
Hello,

I'm running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on a mid-2013 Macbook Air with Boot Camp. After installing BYOND as an administrator and allowing all the executables through the firewall, I'm stuck on a popup that says "Loading game information..." and can't figure out what to do. I don't have an AV installed, and I have another computer on the same network that works without problems.

Please let me know if you need more information.
Do you have some tome tomorrow to debug this live? We are looking for people that have this very issue. It would involve getting some debug builds to you and iterating based on te results.

Additional note: I know there's an older thread on this issue. This is the one I think the new build solves, whereas there appears to be another component in play for some users. Those still having issues after this fix are encouraged to contact me. Per the instructions in that thread, please setup an AIM account (you can use Pidgin as the client) and get me your contact info so I can add you to my list; I'm available to chat most weekdays during daytime and some evening hours EST.
