What's in this update? How can I see what's in the update before applying it?

[Talyn]

By looking right here? (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?40491-Release-v3-3-3)

And just in case you might think of it. Do NOT update 5 minutes before game time! Though this is a quick fix for a limited number of issues and has had some community testing. Never put yourself in a position that you might encounter some problem that would prevent you from playing.

Also be aware, extension may be broken with this update and if so you will need to give the extension developers time to get updates made for compatibility.

Hopefully you know those things already, but they are good to re-iterate because others will be reading this thread too :)

Thanks! I was looking for something obvious. Cheers.

Indeed... For you 5E content owners, I also had updates to the DMG, PHB, Tomb, and Volos.

Yes, we added in the latest data updates from Zacchaeus while we were doing a release anyway.

This update triggered my antivirus (I'm using Avast). Now, I know it's OK but it's currently preventing me from launching FG while they 'examine' it. This has never happened prior. Any suggestions here? Thanks.

We've had several reports from AVG triggering false positives over the last year. We keep submitting to them with each release, but they haven't fixed whatever is triggering the false positive.

Hmmm - odd this was the first time I've ever had an issue ever. I've tried to submit with an explanation as to what's going on. The issue is, I can't use FG at all currently. :(

I had the same issue as well. To fix it, you need to add the Fantasy Grounds app folder to the list of exclusions.
Enter Avast settings at the lower left
20874
In General settings, find Exclusions and add a new line with the folder path. The path may look different for you, since I have it installed in a custom location.

Most security software allows you to manually un-quarantine the software, if you feel that it's registering a false positive. It's up to you, based on how comfortable you are.

I don't have any reports from any of our internal team, so I'm pretty confident there are no issues in the standard download.

Caelen - thanks so much for this and the pictures (lol) - it did the trick!! Moon Wizard, I appreciate your feedback. Hopefully Avast will figure this out sooner rather than later!

Edit: Avast got back to me indicating that the file is clean. Hopefully they'll stop flagging it. It's really weird that I never had a problem and then all of a sudden with this update, there was...

I just want a Big *** Dice (https://bit.ly/2yqrngy) extension.

You keep referencing this link that doesn't work anymore. Not that I have trouble envisioning your big dice.

[Andraax]

Here is the correct link: https://www.artisandice.com/order/big-***-dice/

Ahhhh, the forum software changes the link, because of the naughty word...

[Caelen]

You can get around the problem by searching that site for "big dice", like so https://www.artisandice.com/?s=big+dice&x=0&y=0

Or just replacing the * with the appropriate 3 letter word.

Are those the pink dice :-D

Fine, I fixed the link and used a Bitly link. :)

I use pink dice when I GM live games. Nothing is more intimidating than a 6'6" man standing at a table rolling pink dice with no visible emotion.

Oh man.... can't stop laughing... Love that visual. I have this picture of "the Terminator" rolling pink dice wearing blackout sunglasses.. Awesome!
