Aug 04, 2009 15:17:16 When ever I try to add or edit backgrounds since updating with this month's updates, I get the following error:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

The error occurs when the background type (i.e. General, Eberron, etc.) is selected, then the Select XXX button is clicked.

The program then crashes out completely.

Once you select a background, you have to pick the particular background benefit at the top of the backgrounds section.

Aug 04, 2009 19:21:33 A hot fix is now live that solves the background choose button crash. Key count usage is reset with the update so you will not lose any key usages.
