All the players in the campaign game this week got this error message when rolling skills... "ActorManager.getActor - DEPRECATED - 2021-01-01 Contact forge/extension author", anyone else?(Latest v of FG Unity)

This did not occur on the Gms screens.

I am guessing there is an extension loaded given the message.

The reason that is showing is because the Extension (whichever one it is) is using a deprecated function.

SmiteWorks has added the message you saw to prompt the Extension developers to fix their extensions, before the function is removed entirely and the extension fails completely. More info here (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?65664-getActor(sActorType-varActor)-deprecation-notice-what-is-it-telling-me&p=575275&viewfull=1#post575275).

The extension author needs to fix it, have your GM see which extension it is, and contact the Extension Dev. Someone else recently posted a similar message in the FRP extension thread, so if you are using FRP, that is likely where the error is coming from.
