This is the first time that we've tried playing since the new update. For some reason, I cannot connect to my friend's host session. The three other players all connected fine. I've tried the alias and the IP. No change. Interestingly, if I host they can all connect to me. Everyone is running the newest version on Windows. I am using Windows 10. Any thoughts? Console log files below. Note I've changed the IPs for security.

A few people have had the new version of the base FG application file (FantasyGrounds.exe) being blocked by their security/AV application as it connects to the Internet. I had this just today, Norton allowed FG to run, but wouldn't allow it network access. Check your security/AV application history to see if it has been blocked, if it has then allow the network access.

I use Avast and disabled all shields with no luck. Windows Defender is off as well. The only other protection I have is Spybot S&D, but this is not an active scanner.

Try updating again with all of those security/AV apps off.

No change. I've also disabled the firewall on my modem with no change.

Still could not connect. I also tried connecting my laptop to you and my DM, neither worked. The laptop copy of FG is not updated.

Well, I got frustrated and put my modem in bridge mode. I'm now using my old router and am able to connect to my DM just fine. Must be something in my modem that's blocking it. Not sure what changed, but at least I know where to look. Thanks for the assist, Trenloe. I really appreciate it.

Side note, why do weapons disappear from the Actions tab when the mode is set to "Combat"? Seems kinda the opposite of what one would expect.

The weapons can now be set to Equipped vs. Carried, and only appear in Combat mode if in Equipped state.

Any new weapons added will automatically be set to Equipped state.

New functionality - make sure the new icon to the left of the weapon is set to equipped.
