Sounds like you have the 5E player removed effect extension enabled. This is not compatible with FG v3.3.2 and is actually no longer required as players can remove effects from the CT.

Reminder to all: always check for compatible extensions when you have script errors - especially after doing an update!

Thanks. We started to remove extensions and figured out that was the issue.

Dumb question. How do players remove effects from the CT without the extension loaded?

I think they can use the same method as before. They might also have the ability to select it on the CT as well.

They remove the effects directly in the combat tracker, similar to how a GM removes effects.

When is the forum page for the extensions updated? I visited the 5E Community extension page as well as the specific 5E Player Effect Removal extension page. It is still listed as compatible. I removed it as per this forum, but I have other extensions that I would like to check without opening and closing FG repeatedly trying to test them individually.

Check the version that is listed as compatible - is it still showing an old FG version?

It takes time for community developers to check and update extensions. Assume that if an extension thread doesn't say it is compatible with v3.3.2 then it is probably not compatible.
