I attempted to run a 4E Playtest/Demo for my buds last night but we ran into a number of issues. I was hosting FG2 behind a firewall with port 1802 open. None of us have made any modifications to things since the last time we played (several months ago), and everything was working fine then.
I've been testing this at work today as well and have been having issues.
Issue 1: Images are not loading: I'll try to share a image with the PC's of varying size (from 30K to 600K). All they get is the blank screen showing 'Loading' and nothing else. It's happened despite reboots and the like.
Issue 2: Here at work, the client Im running is receiving errors: 'Could not complete file transfer of file tokens/shared/directoryblahblahblah' (it lists a number of directories where my shared tokens are). Check your network configuration. Confusing, espically since my client already has these tokens and there should be no need to download them again.
I moved the tokens to Host only and this error didnt pop up.
Issue 3: Modules: Last night while attempting the playtest, I tried to have the pcs receive the 4epowers.mod via force loading. Not a single one of them received it, despite multiple tries. I even sent the module to one guy and had him put it in his directory, but no go :(
Issue 4: Ruleset transfers. This one confuses me a lot. I connect to the server and try to download the ruleset. I received a number of errors that it could not download certain aspects of it (Runtime Error: Error downloading 'ruleset/fonts/smallcontrolbold.fgf or ruleset/desktop_classes.xml, etc). The vast majority of files go through fine, and even the files that it says had problems with? I received them completely.
To top it off, I already downloaded the ruleset and put it on the client computer so I wouldnt have to waste time downloading.
Any suggestions?
