I did a fresh install and it boots up just fine and it assigns 192.168.1.1/24 to LAN (igb0) and also says Starting web GUI... done. but I can't ping the lan port or access the GUI on 192.168.1.1 I have my computer set to static IP 192.168.1.144 and have even tried setting the lan port to another ip addess but it will not let me in. WAN shows (igb1) but I am wondering if the Ver3 is messing up the port assignments?
Most likely igb0 is not the port you thing it is. Ask the internet for how the ports are numbered, e.g.

igb0 igb1 igb2 igb3 igb0 (again)
Or in the shell use ifconfig <interface> to see which one is up.
Thank you for that link, yes after I looked into it more and found this online guide: install (https://homenetworkguy.com/how-to/set-up-a-fully-functioning-home-network-using-opnsense/) I realized the error.
For future me:
Just follow the guide but use igb2 for WAN and igb1 for LAN and all will be right as rain!.
