Rime of the Frostmaiden update resets everything

1616263589

Edited 1616263721
So. Today, I noticed my Rime of the Frostmaiden game had an update available. The patch notes said "Removed maps that were included without reason", or something of the sort. So I figured, eh, why not, let's do it and get rid of the notification. And yes, indeed, the DMG Ship map that had nothing to do here was removed. Maybe one or two others I forgot. What the update didn't say was that EVERY NON CUSTOM THING HAS BEEN RESET . Every single map that I had changed the scale to meters and replaced the name tags because my group plays in French, is back to what it was at start. Every single handout that I had spent hours translating so I didn't have to do it on the fly during sessions, is now back in English. Awesome , I am SO looking forward to redoing it all again. At least I was lucky enough to have only barely begun the campaign, so the maps weren't all that "lived in". But what if a DM updates the campaign while in the middle of a dungeon crawl? I can confirm that it's a full reset by the way, since the dungeon my players had cleared, is no longer cleared. Basically, anything "custom", like character sheets or maps or handouts that I had created, are fine. Everything else is reset to its starting state [Edit] Actually no the DMG ship map is still here. What the heck was this update actually supposed to DO?

To reset damage done by Patch 1.4. There is a thread on this . Some users are reporting your experience, some are not (myself). I have run exhaustive tests, and I can't get the patch to overwrite custom data like some others are reporting. It's maddening, because I want to help. Did you ever run Patch 1.4? Are you using any third party plugins?

Seeing how the thread you linked is a week old, and last time I checked my game was two weeks ago, I think I skipped the problematic update and applied the reset patch directly? I didn't notice any particular patch number, I just saw there was an update and clicked on it. The most recent posts in the thread seems to report similar issues to mine. What a disaster. Still, thanks for pointing me to this thread. [edit] Forgot to mention, I'm using a third party plugin yes, VTT Enhancement Suite, but that shouldn't have anything to do with handouts and maps data. My custom data is fine when it's something I created, but when I modified a handout or an already existing map, that's gone.

VTTES shouldn't be a factor, but it does circumvent some built in processes. Really, I'm just grasping at straws trying to find out why it works for me and not others.

I really want to say your doing a hell of a job Keith keeping people informed. It's beyond crazy that your more active in the forums than actual Roll20 staff on this.

Thanks, I do have some contact with the staff. Believe it or not, they really do care and work darn hard, but more through the swamped ticketing system. I have a strong forum presence because I just have more time and an OCD complex. :D
