I run a weekly game that involves several people on different PCs outside the house and several within my house. Until the patch everything worked fine, but now the people who connect using the Internal IP inside the house can't connect(gives a long "CONNECTING" message followed by an error), but that people connecting Externally are fine. Is anyone else having this issue, and if so what's the fix?

The players connecting internally need to connect to your internal IP address. Sounds like that might have changed. Make sure they are using the right address.

Welcome to the forums. I too would assume that your internal IP has changed.
If you have verified that your internal players are using the internal IP as reported by FG, and it's not working, then try to check your IP from either your operating system or from your router. Sometimes FG can report an internal IP that is not the correct one (happens to me when I have virtual network adapters enabled).

Are you connected via LAN and WiFi? One or the other? Try closing FG and disabling the one you are not using and then retest.
Check your Netwok hasnt suddenly decided its on a Public network and upped the firewall level.

The issue is solved now, thank you all very much! FG was reporting an incorrect IP as you guessed.
