BYOND Build Number:Current
Operating System:HP Pavilion
Video/Graphics Card:NVIDIA
Game Hub/Link:
Internet Connection Type:
Firewalls/Routers:Norton Protetor Center, Netgear but ive played BYOND with them on before

Problem Description:
Everytime i log into byond it says Logged in as DragonWarrior12[Offline]. I cannot change it to [Online] and ive done everything. Ive rebooted my computer, ive deleted and reinstalled, ive even asked my friend to send some missing files i didnt get when i reinstalled and still didnt work for some reason.
Steps to Reproduce Problem: I dont know how it just happened one day. I went to play a game and the screen on the game went black. I tried to relog but it froze my computer to crash

Greetings DragonWarrior12.

It could be your firewall blocking connection to the hub make BYOND an exception on your firewall.

Thanks You.

Are you also disabling/adding an exception on the windows firewall? it may of been turned on after you shutdown norton.

Also you may have this bug

Based on the dates of the posts, I believe this bug was actually fixed for 426.995.

Please post the version number you first saw this problem in, and any subsequent updates. One reason I ask people to post the version number is because "current" or "latest" is meaningless later on. Also, some people think they have the most recent version but don't.

Also, for future reference, HP Pavilion is a type of computer, not an operating system. The operating system would be something like Windows XP, Vista, or maybe something like Linux, etc.
