Since updating this morning the program is not working properly. I wasn't able to view player tokens in the combat tracker, so I tried to clear the cache and got an error that said "path error in recursive delete". I uninstalled, reinstalled, double checked the folder permissions. \ I reentered my game and tried to reapply my sidebar and other settings and am just getting the console popping up with errors. I'd appreciate some help, thank you!

Welcome to FG.

What ruleset? Are you using any extensions? Have you tested in a new campaign without extensions?

Hi Vulpexa

2E ruleset?
GMs dont have a cache to clear - only players do.
Can you create a new blank 2E campaign.
Close FG.
Open the FG Data folder.
In the Live campaign find a recent DB backup from before the time of issues.
Copy that file to the new 2E campaign.
Rename the new 2E campaigns db.xml to db.xml.new and then rename the db backup to db.xml
Fire up the new campaign and test?
Does the issue persist?

2e, I am a player, not a GM. As far as I know there are no extensions - I'm brand new to fantasy grounds so I'm not sure how extensions work player side.

I am a player, not a Gm. Should I still follow your instructions?

Hi Vulpexa

No. As a player there are only 3 things for you to try -
make sure your FG is up to date
clear the cache
release your character(s) and then re-select them

See this thread: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?66540-Sidebar-will-not-load-Gives-error

If you have the menu style set to not show the sidebar buttons, you'll get errors when you try to set the sidebar buttons.

The error you have when clearing the cache will be related to access rights or some file within the cache that can't be deleted.
