Hi, byond was working fine for me up untill yesterday, when I switched to a different computer. For some reason the pager is logging me in as offline so I can't play any games. I checked my firewalls and anti-virus and everything looks fine there. Any suggestions?
Have you tried clearing the cache?
Open up the BYOND pager, click File, click Preferences, click the Games tab and then press Clear Cache.

Okay I tried that but now I can only log in as a guest for some reason? For my account it is saying Bond HUB: Connection failed. I've tried making a new account and it's getting same message
Try to reinstall BYOND.
Have also tried that twice... I can login here and dream daemon just fine with no problems
Hi Kuja29,

Can you try backing up and deleting the BYOND folder?

To do this:

Open the BYOND Pager > File > Preferences > Advanced > Open User Directory > Create a back-up of and delete everything in this folder > Completely close out of BYOND > Start BYOND again, and attempt to login.

If that doesn't help, try reinstalling BYOND (and run the installation as an administrator) and double check to make sure that BYOND.exe, Dreamseeker.exe, and dreamdaemon.exe are not being blocked by a firewall.

Good luck!

We also discovered a common cause of this issue that seems to happen to some users, and there will be a fix for this in build 496. It is possible that your BYOND user data directory has some folders and/or files marked as hidden, which seems to be some kind of screw-up in Windows.

My suggestion: Open your BYOND user directory, and then go up one folder. Right-click the directory and select Properties. You should see options for setting the attributes: read-only, hidden, etc. If you see Hidden checked or partially checked, uncheck it and hit OK. This should unhide everything in that folder. If that doesn't work, try going into the cfg directory, selecting everything there, and again go to Properties and uncheck Hidden.
