Hello, I've been using Fantasy Grounds for many months now with no problems until tonight. Myself and two others were logged onto our dm's game for two hours when the third player got online. Before she logged onto the server she clicked "update" (something she does before all our weekly meetings) and then attempted to log in and she got the following error: "The host is running a proprietary ruleset that does not match a local installation."

We figured that she downloaded an update and we had an old version so we all logged off, including the dm, and clicked update. After we clicked it we noticed that there was no update; we were all still on 2.1.0. Our DM launched the game again and none of us were able to get on the server. We all got the same message: "The host is running a proprietary ruleset that does not match a local installation."

Since that time we tried the following fixes and nothing has worked:

DM uninstalled and reinstalled FGII
Player uninstalled and reinstalled FGII
Player uninstalled and deleted registry settings for FGII and then did a clean reinstall
Player pasted dm's "basicruleset.xml" over their file
etc
etc
etc

After three hours of attempts to fix the problem we cannot come up with any solution. If anyone is having the same problem or if anyone knows of a fix please help! Thanks for your time.

I have this exact same error in pretty much the exact same situation.
I also noticed that if you try to open in local mode you get an error that says it "Could not load ruleset root file base.xml".
I have even installed the program on a different computer and get the same error.
See https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?p=50443 (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?p=50443)for my thread describing this issue.
