Welp....I fear that I have installed WAY too many extensions and mods....now I keep receiving error messages whenever I click on the characters' portraits or move their windows...please see the attached screenshot.

Any advice please?

Thanks a lot, N

You are going to have to disable extensions until you find the offender. I suggest disabling half of them see if it happens if not, try the other half.

1. Check whether you have a folder inside the /rulesets folder. If yes, delete them and try again.
2. Load one extension at a time until you find the culprit - it's surely an extension changing somehting on the charsheet.

Edit: I was too slow...

And then consider extensions like an addiction. Do you really need each one? If you don't need it, do without :)

@Nobiledruen - as you're new to Fantasy Grounds, I suggest that you get used to FG without extensions at first - maybe a single theme extension. Then, as you learn what FG can do, and have have a definite requirement for something that an extension provides, add in a small amount of extensions (a small amount being in the areas of 5 or 6).

Extensions change the base code of Fantasy Grounds and can clash with other extensions, or lag slightly behind the core code base - both of these can create issues like what you're experiencing, or maybe even created unwanted functionality that you're not aware of (i.e. it breaks something but doesn't raise errors).

We see this quite often with new users - they mistakenly view extensions like game DLC and think that they need to enable a bucket load of extensions to get the best game experience - and then continually encounter problems, seen or unseen.

Thanks!!! This is very sensible advice!!! I will uninstall everything and learn to use FG first :)

Just don't enable them on the Start Campaign screen :)
