Critical Bug

If you use "/roll 1d6r<7" it will reroll that d6 forever. I would not suggest testing it in a normal campaign as I was forced to delete my campaign to remove the problem. Luckily I was currently in a test campaign. As for how I found out I was setting up a macro to do "4d6 drop the low" for a custom campaign where the DM also wanted us to reroll any scores of 6 or lower. I was hoping that I could do "/roll {4d6d1}r<7" and that it would roll 4 dice, drop the lowest and if that was less than 7 it would reroll them all again. I would not be surprised if this happens in a campaign at some point.

Thanks for reporting this. Did you have 3d dice on?  Regarding the rerolls, it shouldnt reroll forever, it should reroll 999 times. If you had 3d dice on (and Im guessing you did) that will take a very long time to resolve. Hitting refresh will kill the 3d roll.  Did it go past 999 rerolls? Could you explain why you had to delete your campaign?  - Gauss
I did not have have 3d dice on.  I also forgot to mention my macro was 6 lines of that for the 6 abilities scores. It could well have done it 5994 times, that's 2,3974 dice. So its likely it wasn't rolling forever but it rolled enough times to freeze the program in chrome. When I restarted and the log loaded in fully it again from chrome it did this over and over finally I tried just loading the log and it again froze the program.  So it may not have been infinite but it certainly was a serious problem. Considering my campaign was just for testing the easy solution for me was deleting the campaign, had it been a real campaign, I don't know what I would have done. Possibly copied the campaign as I'm guessing logs would not be copied?  Either way its something that needs fixing.

The 'freeze' you are talking about is lag due primarily to the advanced dice feature. Turning that off reduces the lag. There is new a fix on the Dev server that turns off the advanced dice feature when there is a large number of dice rolled. That fix will eventually make it to the main server.  Until that time you can remove the checkmark on the advanced dice feature and that will help. Alternately, you can copy your campaign without the log.  - Gauss
Grey N. said: I did not have have 3d dice on.  It wasn't due to advanced dice, the freeze happened while just loading the chat log as well.

Grey, advanced dice are the dice icons in the chat. The checkmark for 'advanced dice' control those dice icons in addition to a few other things.  In any case, this is a known bug that has a fix being tested on the Dev server. Thank you for reporting it.  - Gauss
