Hey folks,
I just created an account and tested the free Frozen Sick starter campaign for D&D 5e to get a feel for the app. Our group is thinking about switching to a VTT since we’re getting more and more scattered across the country and face-to-face sessions are getting harder to organize. I was kinda hoping the app would take a bit of work off my plate, too.
That said, I ran into quite a few hiccups and I’m wondering - am I doing something wrong, or is Roll20 just kinda buggy right now?
Pages load pretty slowly.
Character sheets sometimes need multiple attempts to load. And when they don’t, I just get the background with nothing else showing up.
Sometimes notes in the right sidebar won’t load, even though I’ve looked at them before. Nothing happens when I click on them. I either have to duplicate the note and open the copy, or refresh the browser with F5 to make it work again.
Some links in the notes are broken. I get a “Page not found – couldn’t connect to journal.roll20.net” error.
All character sheets for monsters and NPCs are set to "PC sheet" by default, which is pretty annoying.
Overall, the interface feels sluggish and glitchy.
Is this just me, the campaign, or is that the current state of Roll20?
For context: I’ve got a modern gaming PC and fast internet. Everything else works totally fine, no issues with other sites or services. I've tested with Firefox and Chrome, both latest builds.
