Earlier today my FG had a hard crash complete with a window saying it encountered a serious problem and needed to close. Since that, I'd been experiencing a host of issues. Disabling all (previously functional) extensions alleviated some of the issues, but not all of them. As such, I decided to reinstall.
Unfortunately, while reinstalling did fix some further issues, it also created some new ones and left one untouched.
And for reference, I'm running a fully-updated FG on macOS 10.14.5. I did click the update button in FG prior to the crash this morning, but I don't remember what specifically got updated. As a rule I've been updating FG every Sunday, provided updates are available.
So here's what I'm dealing with right now:
1. While I can connect and successfully host games just fine the first time I launch FG following a restart, subsequent launches seem to have a 2/3 failure rate for no discernible reason. No settings changed, I still have the same IP and port forwarding setup. Whenever the test succeeds, players can connect without issue. I hadn't encountered this issue prior to today, but it's persisted through the reinstall (and was one of the reasons I reinstalled to begin with). I had never had cause to launch FG more than once per day prior, so it's possible this is no different from my normal, but any insight would be helpful.
2. I get a trio of ruleset errors every time I load any campaign, be it completely fresh or an existing one: 27439
3. Some extensions that were working prior to the crash I experienced now throw up errors galore when enabled, even for new campaigns and even after deleting and redownloading and reinstalling them. I can live without the extensions, but any general insight you might have ("have you tried doing such-and-such a super-obvious thing that's so obvious you might have not even thought to do it?" and other such things, for example) would be welcome.
All I want is to get FG working the way it was this morning, and any and all help in getting it back that way would be very much appreciated.
And yes, I did backup my FG directory and create a separate backup of my campaign directory prior to the reinstall.
