FGU slows my computer insanely
I have developed a severe speed issue. When I start the game, and I mean when I hit enter to start, My entire computer, from the cursor to opening any file, folder, program, becomes so slow, it’s unusable.
Now, before you start with the “did you do this” part of help forums, I have been building and fixing computers for 35 years. If there is something to look at, I’ve done it already.
One of the strange things is that if I uninstall FGU, clean all traces in hidden folders like /AppData /ProgramData & the registry, and I try to install it again, as soon as I start the game installer FGUWebInstall.exe, I immediately get the system crawl.
Any ideas?

Anti virus software?
And welcome to FG.If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php

Welcome to the FG forums. Sorry you're having issues.
As FGU is built on Unity, and the slow down appears as soon as you start the installer (which I believe uses the Unity libraries) there may be something conflicting/affecting the Unity engine on your computer.
1) Your GPU might be using too much resources, especially if it is not being set to limit frames-per-second display. This Wiki article might help: https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassia...cing+GPU+Usage
2) What is your system spec?
3) Please upload the FGU logs after stating a campaign where you see the slowdown - details on collecting the logs can be found in the Wiki here: https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassia...o+Compile+LogsPrivate Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages. General FG questions should be asked in the forums - don't be afraid, the FG community don't bite and you're giving everyone the chance to respond and learn!

The system spec request might offer some insight.
FGU has some beefy requirements. What does the task manager show while it's running (cpu/mem/gpu usage).---

I have installed Unity software before, specifically Superposition, everything was fine. Note that nothing changed from before it began and after; not even a patch or windows update ( I have those on a timer). I used a restore point of 2 days before the issue, it was still there. GPU resources we're at 7% and core work was <1%, according to HWINFO64..
Ryzen 3600, 32GB ram, RTX 2080.
No offense intended, but if you had read my post and understood what I said, you would have known that I can't open a campaign. It begins immediately upon executing the .exe file.
I concluded that this was an unknown service or registry key that was the cause and would require way to much time to track down. So I restored from my image file and installed FGU and look at that! It works. Even played last night.
I do appreciate very much the input. It's nice to have a community that has your back.

Also, make sure that you don't have any overlays running (XBox, Steam, etc.)
