So over The past few updates I have been having Fantasy ground unity stabilities issues.
Firstly it started with Fantasy ground hanging when adding tokens from encounters to a map then trying to move those tokens else where. This hang would last indefinitely and the program would have to be force quite to get into a useable state. While this was frustrating I could work around it.

After the most recent patch Fantasy grounds will randomly hang on when loading an image from the images section in campaign tab. big maps, small maps it does not seem to matter but it has made preparing for session a nightmare.

One thing i would like to mention is that I do have an an extensive list of extensions i use but i never once received an error message.
when encountering these problems

Logs included.

Even with your very powerful computer it takes 3 mins to load the extensions. That is a lot of extensions but you also have a LOT of modules open. Do you also have a lot of Tokens and Maps?
How big is your campaign folder?
You might also try and rename your chatlog file.

Can you try removing any extra custom images and tokens that you are not currently using from your FG data folder under images/tokens? Do you still see the issue?

Tokens I have a good deal of portraits not that many maps I have a few some are a bit big. Though I hardly have anything in the actual campaign folder. most of it is just sitting in the Data folder since a lot of the stuff I use is well across multiple campaigns. I will try to downsize the The Tokens and what not and see if that helps. The Campaign folder is about 144mb in size.
where would the chat log file be anyway.

In the data folder The Images folder take up 2.89 GB, the Tokens folder is a whapping 4.01 GB and portraits are about 30.6 MB

As a test, try in a brand new campaign without any extensions loaded.
If you still get the issue, what kind of images are being loaded? Recently another user experienced significant slowdown when opening images that weren't RGB encoded.

A fresh campaign is one of the few things i plan on testing today.
last night I removed the excess tokens and unloaded several extensions that i do not actively use during play and several modules and preformance did get better I was able to open then close several maps before i got the big freeze.

As for what the images are. Some of them are dungeons I made though Dungeondraft but other are things i grab from google and Pinterest. from those i have checked they all seem to be RBG encoded images.

Todays testing.
Fresh campaign vary few maps modules and no extensions maps loaded everything fine.

Sanity test of previous campaign it is in a workable state. loading a maps are is fine. Only issue is when i try to open and close a lot of maps in succession (open map, close map, open new map). it eventually gets to the point where it just hangs. Map performance when loaded is fine regardless on how simple or complex a given map is.
Did not try dragging tokens from an encounter nor did i try to adjust positions of encounter tokens.

One thing i want to mention though i do not think it is related. Lately I have been using the Module builder as my campaign notes.
