This is getting to the point where I'm considering switching back to Roll20 even though I have countless dollars invested in FG and backed the new version.
I had another post a month of two ago that suddenly my players couldn't connect to my game and when I run that little test on the launch campaign screen. I was told to check my port forwarding, never mind it worked for 2 years previously. Make sure i was set to a private network and every other tip that was already mentioned online. In that instance I had to reboot my router to get it to work.
Now before i scheduled session I always run that test an hour before we play. Last night I did the same and green light. We go to play the game, no one can connect. I shut down FG, start it again and run the test...failure. I reboot router, failure.., I check my network didn't change from last windows update (even though it was just green) and it didn't, check the ports even though there is no way those changed. Rebooted router again, failure...
After 1 hour of trying everything I could think of aside from casting a remove curse spell we said screw it and didn't play. I have no idea why this continues to happen but I had zero problems my first several years. I don't even know what else to try and my game is on hold.
I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just frustrated. Hopefully the new version will provide for seamless connections.
