    Crashing when loading modules

    Module list posted at the end.

    I normally run my game (currently running Tyranny of Dragons) on classic with quite a few modules going due to my characters wanting things from a variety of sources and using things that make the game easier on both me and my players, so I wanted to be sure I could run all the modules on Unity. I started a game and started loading modules and got some extreme memory spikes going up to around 12GB of memory. I noticed in a few instances after I let it sit for a bit the memory usage would go down. I finally had almost everything loaded (literally just missing like two modules) and it crashed on me again like it's done every time I've tried to load everything we play with. I have 16GB of RAM and it's disappointing that the new Unity engine is killing my system to the point I have to shut down my web browser and virtually everything else to be able to run what I want on FG. I thought that part of the benefit of switching to Unity was they were going to be able to fix the memory problems that exist in classic? Here's the list of what I managed to get loaded up with periodic stops to let it catch up before crashing. Again, I can run all of these plus a few other non-compatible extensions/modules in a single instance on classic, I feel like Unity should at least be able to accomplish the same thing.

    Keep in mind, this is BETA, and early beta at that. Memory usage, as far as I know, is not something they've worked on a lot as of yet. Don't use the current version of Unity as a basis as to whether you'll be able to import your current Fantasy Grounds campaign 100% in as-currently-run - I'm certain they'll focus on that once more of their bugs/kinks have been resolved.

    Good to report this, but as jaded said, this hasn't been optimized yet for beta. This type of info though is part of what beta is for. I will say I'm impressed you can load all that in FGC, never would have thought it possible.

    copied across the data from my lost mines game to unity, getting this message without loading any additional extensions, tried loading the extension in as well and same issue.

    Seems like the campaign info was trying to load that extension based on the error message
