The name chosen in Speaking AS switches randomly for me and my group every time we write something. I blame the latest update.

Hi Ravenknight, Unfortunately, I was unable to replicate this behavior on my end. So a few questions for you: 1) Does this behavior only happen in a single game? Could you provide a link to a game where this is occurring? 2) Does this persist in a new game? 3) Are you attempting to change Speaking As manually via the drop down menu or through an API? 4) Does there seem to be any cause for what changes the speaking as drop down? i.e. pressing the arrow keys to navigate already typed content or does it bring up filtered searches (such as pressing "B" and bringing up "Bee" as speaking as) 5) If possible, could you grab a console log capturing this behavior? Thank you!

It seems that when one of us writes something, the others get "reset" to their player name. I haven't been able to reproduce it in another game, it depends on other players being online.  The name of the game is "D&D 5e" (Original, I know) How do I provide you with a console log in the easiest way possible?

We're also experiencing this bug in our game right now. It happens when switching from the drop down menu.

Thanks for that information! I was able to replicate with test accounts and a ticket has been submitted to the dev team. Sorry for the trouble!

I also am seeing the issue on my games.

Whenever anyone refreshes the game and reconnects, it causes everyone to immediately default back to speaking as their username rather than their character. With one player's internet occasionally disconnecting them, this makes roll20 borderline unusable.

Having this issue, too. The specific bug we're experiencing is that when someone changes the character they're speaking as, it attempts to make every other player change to the same character. So, for the GM, they automatically swap to the character swapped to-- For players who don't have access to the sheet in question, it defaults to their regular username.

We came up with the solution of changing your OOC name in that particular game to your character's name and just letting the GM be the one to swap characters.

This is still present in our game as well. There are potential work arounds but it's still a nuisance.

This seems to have gotten worse in the past ten minutes or so. If anyone chooses ANY journal to speak As in their drop down menu, even players, it sets EVERYONE to OOC. This is making RP impossible because everyone has to change back to their character's journal between posts. Please fix this ASAP.

10 or so players in my server. It's actually unplayable to hold a conversation.

Same thing here, exactly as described by Proboscis. Clearing the Chat Archive does not help, neither does clearing the browser cache. The problem seems to permeate through all campaigns, and not just the latest one's.

Same. I'm playing 2 characters in my active campaign and this is making it a nightmare for everyone else.

Been a thing since yesterday. We've got some very rp-heavy games going on where most players have at least one characters - this is making it next to impossible to conduct regular gameplay.

It's very bad at the moment and here I was hoping for a quick fix. Somehow I don't think the test-server is doing what it supposed to do, this issue should had been found before hitting live.

Also getting this bug in our game.  Very annoying.  GM is getting switched to player characters and posting as them while players keep getting reset back to their regular player names and not their character names.

Kenton said (elsewhere, on Pro): We've put a fix on the Development Server with intention to release to Production tomorrow.

This bug is also happening in a game I'm in. It was just a problem today for us. Last week, when I ran a oneshot, it was all well and good.

when anyone uses the bar, it switches anyone to 'that character' or to their default name if they do not have access to that name.

As hilarious as it is for me to be able to swap my co-DMs around as they are typing, with how often I swap characters for /as this is definitely a serious bug.

Hi everyone! This fix should be live now, can you confirm if it is still happening for anyone? Thanks!

Seems to be fixed for us. Someone mentioned it was still happening to them, but a little while later it stopped again.
