Is anyone having an issue accessing the game? Our DM is able to log into FG, but all 5 players cannot enter the game. We keep getting an error message saying "Could not connect to the host. Check your network settings and verify the host address." He has changed the host address twice now, and still no one can enter.

Welcome Barton. Since FG is a client-server architecture and not a hosted solution, this issue will be unique to your DM's server (i.e. his computer). Has he hosted games before? Has he run the connection test?

Have him read and respond to this; https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?47051-Fantasy-Grounds-Connections-Explained

Welcome to the FG forums.

Fantasy Grounds does not run on a website - the players connect to the GM instance of FG when the GM has it up and running on their computer.

Your GM will need to do some checks and maybe some changes to their local setup. Details here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?47051-Fantasy-Grounds-Connections-Explained

Thank you for the quick response! We have played a few sessions already prior to today. We have never had an issue logging in before. I sent him the link you gave us and he will review.
