Hello!

[HarryK]

Recently picked this up during a Steam sale and have been fiddling around with the program. Port forwarding was a bit of a nightmare but managed to get past that hurdle and successfully had a friend connect with me.

Anyways just popped in to say hi to the forum and my fellow Fantasy Grounders.

Thanks! Took a bit of googling, some of which led me to threads in this very forum. After banging my head against the wall late one night, the next day I realized there was one final (very simple) step which I hadn't actually done. And then it was derp, derp, derp, followed by a big sigh of relief.

Of course, then I had other problems to deal with. I didn't have anything like TS or Discord installed at the time, so my buddy and I tried just connecting through Steam voice chat as a temporary thing. He could hear me, but I couldn't hear him. So I installed Teamspeak, connected to the FG server...and I could hear him, but he couldn't hear me.

Finally, Discord. That seemed to work fine. But man, it was just getting hilarious there for a while.
