Disasterousc	I choose the game both from the web and on my pager. I did not join a friend.

Schnitzelnagler	Unfortunately, you ignored my first question. Does the pager log you in (do you see the Logged in as Disasterousc [Public] message)?

Nov 17 2009, 1:13 am In response to Schnitzelnagler
Disasterousc	yes I am logged into my pager.

Disasterousc

I have done all ten steps as followed and nothing has changed.
Step by step

I closed out the byond pager and went to my start up to the run option.

I then typed %appdata% inside which lead me to the application Data folder.

There was no Byond folder inside so I made my own as it instructed.

I then tried playing a game as usual and it had did the exact same as before.

This time I closed out the pager and opened up my computer document.

I clicked program files and fowund the Byond folder. There was no Cache file to delete so I renamed "cfg" to "cfg_old"

I retried to play a game onc more and the exact same thing happend as when I started this forum.

I put the name back as was

Is there any other problem that might be accuring?

Sorry, I just realised the article got outdated. I informed Tiberath that he should change it ASAP. The correct location of the folder you were searching is YOURDRIVE:/Documents and Settings/YOURNAME/My Documents/BYOND

Disasterousc	I have found the folder and done the same process but still It is the same. Is there soemthing else I could do?

Schnitzelnagler	When did the problem first occur? What changes were applied to your system or BYOND around that time?

Nov 18 2009, 1:02 am In response to Schnitzelnagler
Disasterousc	the only changeds I have made were to add and delete morzilla but since then I uninstalled and reinstalled Byond continuousley. I have removed Byond completely and reinstalled it yet nothing has changed.

Schnitzelnagler	To test if you can join games without a map and thus rule out hardware acceleration/driver issues, could you please try connecting to Chatters? Thank you in advance.

Nov 18 2009, 2:04 am In response to Schnitzelnagler
Disasterousc	hey the chatting thing worked. So does that evaluate my problem and if so any ideas on how I should fix it?

Nov 18 2009, 2:15 am In response to Disasterousc
Schnitzelnagler	When you select 'File' -> 'Preferences' -> 'Games', is 'Use graphics hardware' selected or deselected? Can you connect to LastRobotStanding?

Nov 18 2009, 4:11 am In response to Schnitzelnagler
Disasterousc	yes it is checked and no I cannot get into that game

Nov 18 2009, 4:25 am In response to Disasterousc
Schnitzelnagler	Please deselect that checkbox and try connecting to that game again. That should ensure that there are no driver/hardware related issues involved.
