Map Loading

During last night's game the GM loaded a new map. My tabletop now has a map that isn't in the GM's folder of maps, It seems that for some reason a map from someone else's game is showing. I changed browsers and computers and it still shows the wrong map. The GM tried to change to other maps and my map never changes to the right one, but rather continues displaying this map. I loaded other games and the right maps are showing so it is specific for this one game. I can't play in his game until this is resolved. HELP!
If it weren't for the fact that the GM claimed not to recognize the map you were on, I would guess that they had accidentally split the party . As it is, I'm not sure what's going on. Are you otherwise "in the game"? (Do the other players' rolls show up for you in the chat window, for example?)
Everything works correctly. Just shows the wrong map, The GM did not split the party.

This could probably be resolved with a lot of detective work. A quicker solution my be to have the GM duplicate the map (using the duplicate map button next to the entry in the map toolbar, choosing to duplicate tokens, dl, and everything). See if the duplicate map page works correctly. The GM could also try re-placing the map image, if the setup was not too difficult.
If your GM has a Pro account and can use the API, he may be able to use this little script The Aaron wrote for me a while back, ConsolidateParty. It puts all players back into the player ribbon if they got split up, regardless of how that might have happened. on('ready',function(){ 'use strict'; on('chat:message',function(msg){ if('api' === msg.type && msg.content.match(/^!consolidate-party/) && playerIsGM(msg.playerid) ){ Campaign().set({playerspecificpages:false}); sendChat('Consolidate Party',`/w gm <code>Party Consolidated</code>`); } }); }); Then the GM just types into the chat !consolidate-party I wrote a macro to call it from the desktop with a button-click.

Only cause it was not definitively stated...are you sure you are in the right game?  I often remake a session with a slight change to the games name and when its copied, the starting player page is identical to where the other game left off so its really easy to not realize you are in an old game.  Are the other players names across the bottom of the session?  Also your avatar is quite dark, I'd bet that the Gm just doesn't realize you've been accidentally split and you are sitting on an oddball map, I think you can also mapchange to archived maps with that script so you may even be hidden in an archived map.  I think worse case scenario the DM can remove you from the roster, send out new invite links, and invite you in and you'll pop back up in the ribbon with the rest of the players after they finish giving you permissions to your stuff again.
