WARNING about Coronavirus panic online (quotes are from Pat S.) If you are editing a character sheet in a Roll20 game room when that red connection warning banner appears, wait for it to clear. Otherwise, you can lose text within the sheet. I've only seen it happen when I've been working on the first "Bio & Info" page, though I've been warned it happens by a more experienced person. " It is because google servers that Roll20 uses are being overwhelmed. This happens when any major holiday happens and lots of people go online. It's not just the google servers. There are ISPs out there that are being overloaded due to this also. I could be wrong but if the couple metrics that I saw online indicated anything, net traffic in American has tripled in bandwidth usage on the average. The red warning banner indicates your Roll20 connection is not stable or there. Anything you are doing in the game is not being transferred to the server but only stored on your computer in the browser cache." So if you exit, it's lost; but if you wait, it will get a chance to transfer the data. "Correct." The game room may even appear to be operating normally, allowing dice rolls, etc., but they will disappear from the chat when you return later.
