The Out of the Abyss Module is missing multiple maps and a couple of images - here's a list of the maps/images that either show up as a ? or just a grey mass, some with pins and some without. I have tested this both in copying over an existing Out of the Abyss-using campaign and with a new campaign in the 5e ruleset.
Cultist Hideout Map
Cultist Pens Map
Demogorgon Rises
Dire Den Map
DM - Blingdenstone Map
DM - Gracklestugh Map
DM - Hook Horror Map
DM - Mantol Derith Map
DM - Neverlight Grove Map
DM - Oozing Temple Map
DM - Sloobludop Map
DM - The Lost Tomb Map
DM - Troglodyte Lair Map
DM - Whorlstone Caverns Map
DM - Worm Nursery Map
Gracklestugh Map
Grey Alchemist Map
Hook Horror Map
There's two instances of "Mantol Derith Map," one shows up and the other doesn't
Neverlight Grove Map
Sloobludop Map
The Lost Tomb Map
The Obelisk Map
Also, at the same time I was going through the images in the module to create this list, I encountered a bug where clicking on images would start layering previously-viewed images either on top of or just below the correct image. It seems to be in relation to how many images you view in the same instance, and doesn't stop until you close Unity and reopen it to dump the memory. It's not a consistent thing, and doesn't happen on every image you click. I don't know about other rulesets as I don't have content to really explore in other rulesets, but this definitely happens for 5e in my experience. For this, I was looking through the module in a new campaign so I could be sure it wasn't pulling up modified files somehow.
1) Click through the list of images in the maps banner
2) After an undetermined number of images, notice that another image off the list, viewed this session or not, is layered on top/bottom of it. It seems to happen somewhere around the 21st image, plus or minus a couple.
3) Close the map/image, try again - image either is fixed or a different image from the first time is over/under it; each attempt seems to bring up a different image layered over/under the proper one
4) Try closing the Map banner link and reopening it; images opened still do the same thing.
Unloading/reloading the module in question didn't help; unloading the module that it started in and loading a different one had images from the unloaded module loading over/under images from the newly opened module. After clicking through about 20 or so images from the newly opened module, the images being loaded over/under the proper image pull from both the currently-loaded module and the unloaded module at random.
5) Restart Unity and discover that it's done...for the short term, at least.
6) Continue looking for missing image/map assets in the module, have steps 1-5 happen at least 8 times in the attempt to examine images in this module, given the number of images present. It happened another handful of times afterward when I was testing out its behavior in regards to having modules loaded/unloaded.
EDIT: I originally tested this in a fresh 5e campaign with the Out of the Abyss module while I was searching for the above images/maps, then a bit further with a mixture of the Out of the Abyss module and Xanathar's Guide to Everything. I have no extensions downloaded/activated in FGU. I have since restarted the computer and started up FGU to see if this behavior continues; I created a new 5e campaign at the same time, ran through the steps, and the same thing happens. First module I opened was Out of the Abyss once again, then I opened the Player's Handbook and got the same results. Restarted it, had just the Player's Handbook open - same thing happened again.
FURTHER EDIT: I have since tested this in a new CoreRPG and a new PFRPG2 campaign, using the battle maps module so helpfully provided by Smiteworks by default and replicated at least the first half of this bug: getting maps to draw over other maps; as I do not own other modules for those campaigns, I was not able to test the second half of what I found. It seems to happen, as before mentioned, right around the 21st different image opened in the same campaign; restarting the client fixes it until you again view 21 or so different images.
