I had issues yesterday where I tried to have my GF connect to my game from her computer through the Cloud. But she got the following error.

She's on the same network as me and i know some have said just have her connect locally. I did try switching to local but I couldn't get her to connect that way either. It just gave an error that there wasn't a game at the IP address. I can connect to my own game using the cloud server from my own computer no issues.

From those error messages it sounds like some files are missing from your player's computer. I'm not sure if those files are part of FG install or if they are files required by Windows.

See this post to fix the missing DLL error:

Thank you, installing the 2015-2019 Microsoft Visual C++ worked. I was able to get her connected.

The only oddity now is that when she joined and I placed her on the map I had 3 tokens on the map besides hers, 2 PCs(PC1 and PC2) and 1 NPC. She could see the image for the NPC token both on the map and in the combat tracker but she could not see the images for either of the PCs on the map or in the combat tracker. The day before I had had both of the other PCs connected to the game and PC1 could see both PC2 and NPC tokens but PC2 could only see PC1's token and not the NPC.

PC tokens are set to "Always Visible", and NPC tokens are set to "Mask Sensitive Visibility". This means that players will always be able to see any of the PC tokens; but should only be able to see NPC tokens if their PC-owned token can (if no tokens selected) or if any friendly token can (if token(s) selected). This is only relevant to when LOS is turned on. If LOS is off, then all tokens are visible.
