I arrived late and gay from my friend's son's 3rd birthday party and i didn't see anyone on at all in the game.
Somethin' happen?

I didn't arrive at all because I am on my vacation trip currently and I spent more time trying to install BYOND on this crusty ass Linux laptop (it keeps popping off errors) than actually playing the game itself.

Does the hellfoam grenade still work?

Iirc my old recipe was
- 2 parts chlorine triflouride
- 2 parts foam
- the rest being pyrocinium (forgot how to spell the chem, but it basically makes things even hotter for every I think 4u)

I used this guide to get it working. The lutris script is garbage.
Wanna get Goonstation (and BYOND broadly) running on a Linux machine? The good news is that as of BYOND version 516, we finally can!

Up until now, this has been impossible because of BYOND's reliance on Trident (the engine responsible for Internet Explorer) as the backbone of much of BYOND's UI. Unfortunately, Wine is not able to run the version of Trident used - but version 516 has finally ditched Trident in favour of WebView2 (a component of Microsoft Edge), which Wine absolutely CAN run.

Now, don't get me wrong, BYOND will still fight you every step of the way - but with a little gumption and a whole lot of Works On My Machine, we can do it!

PREREQUISITES:
  • Your Wine should be at least version 10. (Certain 9.x versions may also work but there's no harm in updating.) You can check your current Wine version by executing "wine --version" in a terminal. If it's not at least version 10, search around online for how to update Wine on your specific distro.
  • Winetricks. Many distros come with this pre-installed, and all good software centers & package managers have it regardless.
  • The most recent version of the BYOND installer. Note that you must specifically get the Windows version, not the Linux one - as mentioned on the website, the Linux release of BYOND is only useful for server hosting, not playing games.
  • The WebView2 evergreen bootstrapper. At time of writing the BYOND download page contains a link to it, but just in case: here. Make sure you get the 'evergreen bootstrapper' specifically.

STEP 1:
Open up winetricks and create a new Wineprefix. Call it whatever you like - 'BYOND' is as good a name as any for clarity. Both 32-bit and 64-bit should work fine, though I imagine that a 32-bit prefix might have less overhead or something. I don't know, I'm not an expert.

STEP 2:
Once the prefix is made, open up the 'Install a font' menu, select 'Corefonts', and confirm. What follows next is an eldritch dance where winetricks will throw meaningless error messages at you for a while - rest assured that this, confusingly, means it is working. Just continually dismiss the messages for a little while and eventually they'll stop and the menu will open back up.

If the messages continue their assault and you're sure that it's been a good while of dismissing them, try looking up winetricks font troubleshooting advice on your search engine of choice.

STEP 3:
Back at the winetricks menu, select the 'Run a commandline shell (for debugging)' option. The correct window will be a native system terminal navigated to the C drive of your new prefix. It should NOT be an emulated Windows terminal - that's a different option.

Then, execute the command 'winetricks dxvk vcrun2022' This will begin the install process for a pair of dependencies required by BYOND. This process can be a bit lengthy and will require you to manually confirm some things like SHA mismatches.

If for whatever reason either of these packages fail, you can probably find help online about it. Works On My Machine.

STEP 4:
Once more unto the winetricks menu breach, open up the 'Run winecfg' option.

With the 'Default Settings' entry selected, click on the 'Windows Version' dropdown and select Windows 7.

Then, click on 'Add application'. You'll want to navigate to wherever on your system you downloaded the WebView2 bootstrapper .exe, and select that.

Once this is done, there'll be an entry for MicrosoftEdgeWebview2Setup.exe - select it and then set the Windows Version to Windows 10.

Once you're done, confirm your changes and you'll be dropped back at the winetricks menu.

STEP 5:
We're almost done! The filesystem is now ready to install WebView2 and BYOND. From the winetricks menu, select 'run an arbitrary executable' and open up the WebView2 bootstrapper.

This will open up the WebView2 installer. In the same way that all good installers don't, it will silently close itself without a message upon a successful install. (If it fails on account of requiring Windows 10, go back to Step 4 and make sure you've set the compatibilities right.)

Now, at long last - we can finally install BYOND! Using the same 'run an arbitrary executable' option as before, open up the BYOND installer and go through the motions.

FINALE:
If all went well, BYOND should now be installed onto your system. The BYOND installer will close with an option to open up BYOND - if this doesn't actually launch BYOND for whatever reason, you have a couple other ways.

On at least some distros, installing a program this way via Wine will automatically add a system shortcut to your usual desktop environment's search bar, as if it were a native Linux program. BYOND web links from your browser will also work, so you can use Goonhub's 'join' buttons. (I know this is true on Mint at least, not sure about other distros.)

Otherwise, you can use the winetricks 'run an arbitrary executable' option to navigate within your prefix and launch BYOND's executable. On 32-bit prefixes this'll be Program Files/BYOND/bin/byond.exe, on 64-bit prefixes it'll instead be Program Files (x86)/BYOND/bin/byond.exe.

Congratulations! You can now log into the BYOND pager and play Goonstation.

I got BYOND 516 running on Mint today, but I'm stuck on "Loading game information" when launching.
I ran a windows 10 vm and got the same issue, so I have to assume that the launcher hangs because it can't access the login server due to the DDOS attacks?
I read that you can grab your auth key from previous logged-in installs, but unfortunately those no longer exist.

Does kiwistation allow guest users?
Does anyone know of any other ways to sign in to BYOND Hub besides just waiting for it to connect?

You used to be able to do it, this guy must have realized people were getting around it, or maybe the servers are actually down.

The time to join is now, be sure to join or a mysterious entity known as "Ben Wilson" will SMASH and SLAM your ass into the concrete.

Guest accounts do work on the server btw, if you have trouble connecting, be sure to log out of your BYOND account and retry to do so.
