[iPad][Safari] Frequent crash/slow load on GM moving player view

I have one player on an iPad. When I shift-click-hold to move the player perspective around the map, Safari either crashes or takes around 5 seconds to load on the iPad. I can see the player dropping from the game and (if not a crash) reconnecting on this event. The last map was 120x120 with a 2.4MB PNG-8 map. OS and browser are up to date. iPad is 4th gen 64GB. This happens regardless of the distance moved (across the map or a few hexes away).

I suggest replacing the PNG map with a JPG map and see if that helps. PNG takes a lot of system resources.

I'll try; the PNG-8 conversion saves a ton of file size for the quality, but I guess I can live without it.

If the JPG format makes the file too large you could break up the image into peices.

Update: JPEG conversion (4MB) still crashes Safari on every shift-click move.

Could you check to see if shift+click crashes the player on an empty map?
