Default windows vista firewall. Hasn't Interfered with byond connections before. Problem Description: About 4 days ago tried to connect to the Dragon Ball Finale server and it connected but didn't initialize the interface it simply said dream seeker is to far out of date (get the latest and greatest version from byond.com). I don't think there is anything else that would of interfered with the problem like downloads and stuff because i haven't downloaded anything a good week or two before the problem occured. Steps to Reproduce Problem: I uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of byond and i followed all of the steps for byond crashes and incompatibilities. Can you help me with this please i have been having this problem since the server changed to patch 2 or w/e. Now it is version 26 but version 26 is probably just patch 2 with updates. | |
Greetings Rapidz.
As I wrote in my reply to the original poster: It seems that they are using an experimental build of BYOND that you can find [on the Announcement forum of the Developer section]. Yours sincerely, Schnitzelnagler. | |
So what you are saying is that i wont be able to join the server until the next update is available?
I don't know a lot about the codes and stuff in byond. And i also tried to join one of the DBF test servers a little while ago and it said that i must update to byond 430 or above to play. So it seems that the connection problem is different because dreem seeker actually opens up. | |
The "patch 2" servers of DBF seem to be using an experiemental build of BYOND.
So, technically, you could update right away, but I would not advice it, as these versions might contain bugs and unless you are a "tech-savvy" user, you might find yourself bothered using a non stable version of BYOND. That is something you'd have to discuss with the person who created the game I fear. | |
People don't care about bugs, or anything of that matter. As long as they can get into their favorite game and hit those pbags. =P
