Roll20 CPU behavior and possible fix

December 29 (2 years ago)

Good morning, 
I've been troubleshooting high CPU/GPU usage during our normal gaming sessions and think I found a possible solution. 
We use discord as our voice app, and I noticed that roll20 only spikes when the discord app is active. I initially tried all of the available common browsers, and incognito modes for each as well as defaulting my Nvidia settings, toggle acceleration etc. Eventually I did a complete reinstall of discord (including removing all folders from %appdata%) which seems to have resolved the roll20 issues. I only see a small increase in CPU when I open the discord app window otherwise everything works fine with the window minimized. I'll post my findings on the r/discord as well. Hope this helps some of you out. 
Cheers.

Hi Victor!

You should post that tip over here. There's a lot of interest and discussion of the problem there.

Done and done

I recently did a clean Discord re-install because it kept causing my computer to freeze and re-boot during my Roll20 game session. It seems to have solved the issue.
