Hi, after the update only new cached information shows up in my Manage Character window. Checked data location and all the previous cached games are inside the "cached" folder, including the ones created after the update. I had three games prior with a lot of changes to characters that I am now unable to retrieve. I also tried using the FGPEMUtility but it only sees the usersettings folder but not the campaign.dat file which is needed to extract the character .xml.

One more thing Trenloe, alternatively would the GM be able to pull the xml from his server? Figure this might be easier to coordinate with the 3 GMs I need to get the characters from. thanks.

You just need to connect to their server to reset your campaign cache and get the most up-to-date player character information in v3.3 format.

Any PCs you edited or created in the normal manage characters (selected a ruleset rather than a campaign) is still there.

If you can't connect to a GM, ask them to export your PC in XML format and you can import into Manage Characters.

If you look at the bottom of the page the utility is gone.
