Problem Description:
I cannot play any byond game. Whenever I move, attack, whatever, in ANY game, there is no moving animations, and everything is VERY jerky, to the point of being in one spot, tapping the arrow key, and suddenly being in another. I've tried 15 or so games, all of them are like this. It's been this way ever since I downloaded byond, and it still is. Also, my firewall has Byond forwarded, and there are no viruses/new programs/ crashes of my computer.

Steps to Reproduce Problem:
All I did was forward byond in my firewall, and start the program up. It's been this way ever since.

G'day Bahamut2k456.

With the graphics card you have installed, I find it difficult to believe that this could be the solution to your problem, but I suppose we can give it a shot.

If you already know how, turn off hardware-rendering in BYOND. If you don't know how, read on and I'll tell you:

Open up your pager (byond.exe)
Click on the file menu and select "preferences"
Click on the Games Tab.
Uncheck the third checkbox down (Use graphics hardware for displaying maps...)

Thanks Much.

In response to Tiberath
Hmm, this doesn't appear to have done much....
Or anything, really. I've tried re-installing, but nothing seems to work....
