I was going to play byond when I see the update icon and press it.
I start a space station 13 server and enter and like 20 seconds on entering it crashes. I reinstalled it and did the DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image/scanhealth command but still, it says dreamseeker stopped responding.
now I don't know what changed but when i start byond it says:
[Content]
H:\BYOND\bin\byond.exe

The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.


I have no idea why you'd run that command. It probably borked your installation.

The crash is likely due to an issue with animations that's being addressed now. I'll have a new release out tonight.
I have the same problem as Alex
If you haven't updated to 514.1563 yet, try that. There still seems to be a lingering animation bug but hopefully it can be dealt with.

If you still have trouble you can try temporarily downgrading to 514.1561.
We have the same problem reported by all our players who updated the client from 513 to 514 today. Our server is running on 513 still.

how do I downgrade?
the only version I can download on the download page is the newest one
In response to Alexjbd
You can download 513 builds from here:
http://www.byond.com/download/build/513/

Or any of 514 builds:
https://www.byond.com/download/build/514/
The newest 514 build (1564) should get rid of the remaining issues.
No, I tried 514.1564 and crashes still reproduce
