Gamestopping lag but only when playing with others

If I'm the only user logged in I'm able to use and manipulate the map, tokens, and other VTT elements with relative ease. There's a little bit of lag at times, but it's bearable. Once I have other players on the table, though, everything grinds to a halt. Dragging tokens, moving the map, pulling up character sheets, zooming, pretty much anything  I try to do is met with lag so bad it makes the game impossible to play. While dragging player tokens from one part of the map to the other, the lag spikes were so bad the game "dropped" the character token before I had finished moving it and revealed parts of the map to the player. I do have Fog of War and Dynamic Lighting on. I have not yet switched to UDL. I've removed token sight with the script, but the map only has a handful of monster tokens on it anyway (it's the Death House map from the Strahd  module). I've done all I can think of but the lag remains and it's rendering the game unplayable. How can I fix this?
When you are alone it's bearable, but with more players it's too slow....&nbsp; Try the following: Copy the game (open details page -&gt; settings menu -&gt; Copy Game) Launch the first game,&nbsp;open up the developer bar (in chrome F12), type in de console &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; dir(FIREBASE_ROOT) You see a url like <a href="https://roll20-99942.firebaseio.com/" rel="nofollow">https://roll20-99942.firebaseio.com/</a> Launch the second game, do it again, check whether the url is different https://roll20-999 40 .firebaseio.com/ Now start playing in the second game.... If the speed is ok, all is well!
AFOW and LDL is broken for large maps and has been since January of last year.&nbsp; They worked on it for 3 months and then just quit, saying they were refactoring DL.&nbsp; Hence the UDL you have today that is broken.&nbsp; So, disable AFOW if you are using Dynamic lighting.

Is one of those a typo, or are you saying that AFoW is broken with both LDL and UDL? I just converted everything to UDL. Should I have not?&nbsp;
