New User map question

[danman71]

I am a new user running FG Ultimate Classic module in Pathfinder 2e. I am testing it out my running a second copy of FG Demo on my laptop with a different account (replicating player view). My main computer gets green success for setup and I can join the campaign correctly from the laptop. However, when I attempt to share a map, the client laptop gets an infinite loading screen.

When I loaded my library, I had Player Load Blocked for the module, but Player load allowed for the Player's Guide. Do I enable player load for the module itself also, or would some other issue be causing the map load issue? I obviously only want to share stuff like maps and not all the GM content.

Make sure you are both on 2020-04-04 or later.

Damned is referring to FG Unity, but you mention being in FG Classic.

When you connect from your laptop connect using the local IP address of the GMs computer - don’t use the alias. Does that make a difference?

My bad. You did say Classic!

Yes, when connecting locally, I had to use the internal IP to make the Map work. When I connected to the external IP (or used the alias) the map would never load.

Yep, most routers will not let internal traffic access an internal device using an external address
