Not the most critical of problems , but an anoying one since it used to work fine. I have the extension party inventory weight enabled (this is 5e ruleset, set to legacy rules) and in the options I have it sent for variant rules.

Now I've had it set like this for a rather long time (I didn't write down the date I first used it but I'd guess almost a year now) I first noticed in the last two months or so players that exceed their encumbered weight are not getting the note that used to automatically appear in their CT description anymore.

There's not a whole lot I did to make this work when it did therefore I don't know how much there is to trouble shoot. When it worked I simple had this extension called "Party Inventory Weight" enabled and then in the FG settings once in the table I set Encumbrance rules to variant.

That's it... it worked perfectly auto updating the note under a player as they passed various thresholds (levels) of exhaustion or if they rested it would update the note deducting a level.

It was very useful because one of the least fun things to me to DM is tracking a million things. (its why I like playing with Fantasy Grounds).

For troubleshooting before I wrote this I've done...

Updated FGU to the latest update
Tested with the Party Inventory Weight Extension *OFF* (thinking maybe its just built into the ruleset now)
Tested with Encumbrance setting in the ruleset set to both Variant or Standard (neither one works)


Any insight or advice is appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
