First off, you shouldn't use DreamDaemon to connect but DreamSeeker. Join games directly from the hub. DreamDaemon is for hosting, not joining games.
It appears that your firewall may be blocking the communication between the BYOND Pager and programs such as DreamSeeker and DreamDaemon. This causes you to login as a Guest on any BYOND game you try to join. Try configuring your firewall to allow both the byond.exe program as well as the dreamseeker.exe program to have full access. They need to be able to talk with each other as well as with computers on the internet. Right now it seems that they can talk with computers on the internet just fine, but not with each other. | |
how do i do that, i just got avg firewall and i dont know anything about it. Plus I am not that good are computers.
On the setting they both are set to: allow to all. is this the correct settings for it? | |
Unfortunately, AVG is not within the firewall tutorials and I personally don't use it.
You might try to convince Tiberath to write another Tutorial, or you could try posting in Computers&Technology for advice on AVG. | |
I got a question,
is dream seeker a different program or is it part of byond now? cos i can see it on my firewall settings but i cant find it on my computer. | |
There should be a dreamseeker.exe in your bin directory, though, it is not to be executed directly anymore.
| |
Since Android Data kind of rushed to a possible problem, I'd like to take things a bit more step by step, if I may.
First of all, did BYOND ever work for you? If so, what did you change around the time when it stopped working? Could you please try to carefully go through all ten steps of this article (including cfg)? | |
ok there is no byond folder in the appdata. it says i should try recreating the folderbut how do i do that, because if i make new folder it will have nothing in it.
| |
You forgot to answer on the important first question in my posting.
Has BYOND ever worked for you? If the answer is no, there would naturally be no such folder, as it is only created 'on the fly', soon as you log on BYOND the first time. If the answer would be yes, then I'd say search for 'BYOND'-folder globally on your HDD. You should find two. One where you installed BYOND, the other in your own document's. | |
yes byond use to work. it still work execpt it dont log me in a game as my character but a guest.
Through my firewall options, i can see a byond folder in documents but its not visual in my document. there is another folder in the program files. Which one should do i need to copy? | |
How did you search for the folders?
If you used the 'Explorer', did you set to see hidden documents/folders? You should be able to properly see the folder first before we progress and try to figure out what went astray. What exactly do you see in your firewall options? I would not have guessed that you'd see and set up specific folders there. | |
dont worry now, i fixed it. well basically, i couldnt see the folder in my document. But on avg firewall when you try to add and new program to be enabled, it goes through your whole computers so you can open folders and until you find a program i want. I cant could see the byond folder faded in my document. so i manually made a folder in %appdata% and started adding the folders to it then making new folder for any other faded folders.
i also add then delected the folder in myu documents, copied the new folder i made and paste in document so i can see it. after i delected that folder then reinstall byond. when i started byond, it started to download the files in delect to returned to normal. thanks | |
I can not really follow you there, but if it works for you... I hope everything is fine...
I wish you much luck in the future ;) | |
