Tiamat X crashes on startup

[cweiske]

zsknight22 Hey folks, been wanting to play Tiamat X. Upon launch, the game throws an error at startup. See attached picture.

Anyone know a workaround for this? I'm guessing from the error that the devs left a call to a leaderboard of some sort that doesn't exist anymore...

yoyo seems to be the virtual machine/runner for gamemaker.

Solution: Point "www.bbqgames.co.uk" to a server that returns 404 for the URLs. The current domain parking page always returns content, and the game's JSON parser fails when trying to parse the HTML.
