FG crashes when unmasking map
One of my players is constantly having an issue where his FG is crashing when I (the DM) unmask part of the map. If he closes the map prior to me unmasking and then reloads the map after I unmask, everything is fine. Has anyone seen this before, or any thoughts on what's causing it and how to fix it? Thanks!

How big is the map? How much stuff do you have shared? What is his memory use by FG (ram) just before he crashes?
I've seen short term FG "hang" when I am unmasking a very large map."I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind."

It's the Hidden Shrine map from Tales of the Yawning Portal and the only other things I've shared are the Sunless Citadel maps. I've sent a link to this thread to my player, so hopefully he's able to answer your other questions.
I've run and played in FG for a very long time and I've never seen this issue before.

If he's using the 64-bit version of Fantasy Grounds then this is a known bug. Removal of fog of war in the 64-bit version will freeze both host and player clients.
Might be worth checking if that's what he's using as a start, if so ask him to use the regular 32-bit version of FG until that bug is fixed.Extension writer, FGU Backer, Ultimate License holder.

ps. Do not send PM's for support for the extensions I write, I will not not be able to respond there. Use the relevant forum threads instead so the community can benefit from the replies, thank you.

Thanks. I’ll check with him and see if that’s it.
I haven’t seen any issues on my end. I’m running the server on my Mac mini using the Mac download from the downloads page FYI.

If you use the mask do not use the x64 application - it will crash on unmasking
