Unable to access new game / world NEED BY 12/7

[goddessgm]

Hi! I’m new here!

I’m trying to import a game/world that I worked on locally, for a session that we plan on having tomorrow at 2pm Eastern. It’s currently 8:25pm Eastern. (Yes, I know, nothing like the 11th hour.)

I started by going to My Foundry > Games Configuration, where I saw the default Forge server banner. I scrolled down to Foundry VTT Server Version and set it to v12 Closing (Build 343), because I am using some modules that are not yet compatible with version 13.

Then I followed the instructions for importing as shown here:

Importing Worlds/Modules/Systems - W/ Video Tutorial

[Importing/Uploading To The Forge] Uploading Worlds, modules and systems to Foundry To first get to your “User Data”, Right click Foundry on your taskbar, and Browse User Data [image] From here you can copy the path. To upload you Worlds, systems and modules, you’ll have to go to My Foundry over at the Forge website [image] And scroll down to Summon Import Wizard [summon2] This will bring up the Import Wizard.

Meaning that I turned OFF my local version of Foundry VTT and my local server BEFORE importing.

Next, I began importing my game/world which is called “Here There Be Dragons” for D&D 5e. The four oversized assets are all tokens and should not affect the import or accessibility of the game.

I got the import success screen that reported all is well and clicked Done.

Then I went to My Foundry > My Games. I see the Forge banner there, but nothing specific to my game, called Here There Be Dragons which is very loosely based on Dragons of Icespire Peak (DoIP) and has it’s own banner that’s similar to the DoIP cover art.

Is this what it’s supposed to look like? Should I see anything at all that says “Here There Be Dragons” on this “Your Games” screen? Or should I see some version of the “cover art”?

This is what my Here There Be Dragons (HTBD) cover art looks like because I’m not very original… but I don’t see it anywhere.

And, if I select launch, I get the Foundry VTT splash page for a LONG LONG LONG time but nothing ever happens. I never get a login screen.

Yay! The version is right! (V12.343)

I was expecting to eventually get the Foundry VTT Admin Access Required Screen, like I do here locally, as shown below. But this NEVER happened here at The Forge.

Do I need to somehow configure myself as the GM?
Do I need to login as Admin someplace else?

I feel like I’m missing something, but I don’t know what.
Any ideas? Thoughts? Suggestions? Tutorials???

Thank you in advance!

Hi there,

It seems to me that you did everything right.
And to clarify when you go to My Foundry>My Games that default Forge banner is what you’re supposed to see with Game Master subscription and without Game Manager enabled.

Possible causes of this issue would be:

• Browser Extensions, so try using Incognito Mode.
• Having hardware acceleration disabled, more on that in this document.

Let me know if checking those two steps works for you.

Hello!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I had forgotten to mention that it was happening in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and an Incognito Window.

However, turning on the graphics acceleration worked!
Who knew?

Thank you!

Seriously! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
This is for my first-ever session as a GM/DM and my peeps thank you!
