Hi, in this days i've tried the demo of this software and i must admit that the idea is very great. I've heard yet that there are corruption in the db.xml file when a new character is created (or when a new personality is made). So i'd like to know, before make the decision of buy it (the price for me is almost high) if there's a fix to this, even if with exterior softwares. Tnx a lot in advance and keep up the great works guys!

I've had the software crash on start up a number of times but the db.xlm has never been corrupted. In most cases I rename/delete one of the lua files and it starts right up.

a Friend of mine has FG, and he said that many time after closing FG, when i reopen the campaign, he has the db.xml error.

I get an error... but (I think) its 'FantasyGrounds.exe has has caused an error and needs to shut down'.

(shrugs) Maybe your friend is doing something different then I am. I HAVE had FG crash on start up probably about 10 or so times after adding something and restarting but renaming the .lua file fixes it just about every time.

The time it didn't was me having too many tokens on a map and restarting (too many = about 50).

The demo is version 1.05, so any crash bugs or similar issues aren't applicable to version 2.

The demo it doesn't save characters so that could be a problem also.

CampaignRegistry.lua is the file I was talking about.
