It looks like the XML is technically invalid for that campaign, such as a symbol used in the XML. While FGC used an older, more lax library; FGU uses the latest libraries for XML which are stricter. For most situations, this won't have an impact; but there have been some extensions that wrote invalid characters in the past, and FGC didn't prevent them.

Can you post the db.xml for that campaign? It might be a quick search and replace.

Looking at the database, I didn't see any issues jump out at me from a high level. Also, re-reading the error message, it looks like a problem with an extension named "40K Flamer Pointer"; not with the campaign data.

* What exactly is the problem with the campaign, when you say it is not working?
* Can you provide a zipped up copy of the campaign for us to try loading?

Thanks,

yeah that particular extension has not worked in forever but has not intererfered with dnd or 40k games .

The problem is when i go to load this particular campaign is during the loading process it hangs and freezes at the line:

MEASURE: LOAD - PART 1 - 19.2785797

as for the campaign i can hand to you in zip form but apparently the file is too big to post on forums is there somewhere i can post it for you to get?

If you post on DropBox or Google Drive, and set Sharing option to Anyone with Link; then you can post the link here or in PM.

It looks like the issue is a problem in the graphics file format for one of the portraits uploaded for the campaign. I opened in Paint, and re-saved as JPG; then it works.

You'll need to rename the attached file to "id-00015" (no file extension), and replace the one in the campaign "portraits" directory.

I'm looking at capturing the issue with a better error in a future version.

And it works thank you very much i would never had guess it was a portrait pausing the loadtime.

It was buried inside one of the log files in a place we don't usually need to look. Once I found the error, I knew it was a portrait, and guessed it was the biggest one. :)
