working on a Traveller Campaign, I have a test character in a battlemap image called Crew Deck ( under Flatlined ) . if you move that character 2 spaces to the left the client will crash, I can move him around that space but it repeatedly crashes on that one space

Zipped campaign attached

Have you tested in a new campaign without the extensions you have loaded? Or tried disabling the extensions in the campaign with a problem? When you say crashes do you mean FGU just becomes unresponsive or the program closes altogether?

Fantasy grounds client becomes unresponsive and does not recover. These are mods I have used in multipole campaigns without issue... but... I can certainly try that

Unloaded all extensions, deactivated all mods, also re-booted computer, client becomes unresponsive and does not recover in the exact same spot, every time.

I don't have this ruleset so I'm unable to test. I don't see any issues with the campaign files, but as I say I can't load them since I don't have the ruleset.

Yeah.. my play group has gotten kind of anti WOTC lately, and asked me to run this... Traveller is an old favorite of mine from long ago. Will someone else be able to look at it?

I'm sure someone else will see this and take a look.

Maybe this will help, I disabled line of sight and lighting and the problem stopped, I am going to turn each on and see when it starts again

There it is, it broke when I turned lighting back on

Darn it, it also broke with lighting off and line of sight turned back on

It sounds maybe like there's some corrupt data in the line of sight. Is this map from a purchased module or one you created yourself?

This is now just informational as to something was wrong, I have players breathing down my neck for a Sunday game so I deleted the map, and re copied the jpeg, and am now re-creating line of sight and so far everything is working as expected. will be doing lighting next and turning my mods back on. Thanks in advance, my rush issues are my issues, no one else's. I just hate to disappoint my players :)

I think you are exactly correct, deleting the map and re-importing the Jpeg and doing LOS and lighting all over again seems to be doing the trick... thank you for your help. I mean that, your comments were encouraging and got me thinking about what could be wrong.

I wasn't able to reproduce the error, but I did notice that the wall occluders in the area where the token is has very tiny gaps between the vertical wall and the two horizontal walls (circled in yellow in the image). These shouldn't cause the program to lock up, but it could present issues. When two walls need to meet, create the second wall slightly longer. This will cause a point to added where the walls intersect. You can then delete the extraneous point.
