That is intended to be the link to the game's hub, which doesn't require you to use the pager (a web browser should properly display the hub link). An example would be http://www.byond.com/games/DDT/LastRobotStanding. We need this information for that very problem, because we need to ensure that the problem is not with the game, but with your software.

Have you tried a single game (if so, which), or multiple different games?

Can you connect to Chatters (a test to see if it's a map related issue)?
Can you connect to Last Robot Standing (ensure that it's not a ban/server related issue)?

Unfortunately, you ignored some important part of the questions. You did not answer which hub you tried connecting to and failed and if you tried with multiple games, or just one.

if it helps any ontop of what iv already told.
when i first got this problem it came from me changing my pager port and when that port stopped working so did my pager now idk how to set it back to default.

Set the port to 0.
Why did you change the pager port in the beginning?
Could you describe every step that lead to this problem?

in the begining it was no real reason you know how when you get bored and you just wanna mess with somthing you have no reason to be messing with yea thats me idiot moment.

instead of leaving the pager port blank as it was normaly
i changed it to 0 thinking that seeing how in code 0 some times means the same as blank umm yea not the same.

so i went and tried to delete the pager.txt and all that cause iv seen that as an answer to it umm yea utter fail.

Close BYOND (and all it's instances), use the uninstall executable to uninstall BYOND, then manually search for any remaining BYOND folder (you should find two!) and manually erase both. Reboot your computer, then download BYOND and install it again. Ensure that you are logged in as administrator during the installation process.

Have you taken these exact steps in the exact order I suggested (not skipping or slacking on a single of them)? Have you ensured that your firewall and anti-virus software properly allow all four main executable of BYOND?

yes i have and for the fire wall i deactivated it so that it would work without fail. but my computer seems to remember the prefrences when i reinstal byond

In response to Bigj822 (#12)
That would hint at the fact that you skipped the step of manually searching and erasing both remaining BYOND folders, since that is where the preferences are stored and which are not automatically deleted upon uninstalling BYOND.

Please repeat the process and look how many BYOND folders you find this time. After you deleted them, search for BYOND folders again. Do not forget to search every partition and every hard drive.

i figured out the problem it wasnt with the pager itself i never had to delete it. for some weird reason my computer stopped accepting tcp ports so i cannot connect to byond anymore unless it uses a udp port witch i think it doesnt

In response to Bigj822 (#18)
Now I'm curious. How did you diagnose that 'your computer stopped accepting TCP connections', which would be rather strange by itself? Or did you mean that your router didn't forward to a specific TCP port, designed for BYOND?
