With this new update, my Mac CPU is running extremely hot.
It hits 100C with a campaign running. I'm DM, 3 players.

This is with the campaign open, but idle. No players connected, not touching anything.

I'm more than a little worried.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Are you running extensions in your campaign? I was doing some tests on an M4 Mini when the batteries died in my mouse. As a consequence, I had a campaign running for two weeks with no CPU or GPU issues.

If you are running extensions, try launching the campaign with extensions disabled.
