There was an issue earlier today where tokens were not updating properly on the VTT. I',m not sure if that has yet been resolved. You can follow this thread . Not sure about the map. You are demonstrating a number of plugins that change display and performance, but like you said, you tried it with them disabled.
Ah I see. What's stranger is it's only this one map in this one game and I dm ten times a week and havent had any other issues lol.&nbsp;

Here's something I do that can help to eliminate zoom weirdness. I add 1-2 squares of "padding" around the map. On a 20x20 map I set the page to 24x24, and move the map 2 spaces right and down from the origin point. I turn on regular fog of war and reveal only the map. That seems to resolve a lot of edge craziness issues, and gives me a place to store reinforcements, allies, portraits for showing to the players with the Shift-Z commands, etc. With a pre-built map, it would mean moving the DL lines, too, of course. This may be difficult on some maps.

Here's another thought. I've never tested this, but... On the token layer, Select All (Ctrl-A). Look at the selection rectangle. Does it extend off the page? If so, you might have inadvertently moved or pasted something outside the page bounds. I wonder if that could cause zoom issues like you are seeing.

I like the idea about increasing the map boundary! Let me log into the game and see if maybe that's what happened (the out of bounds tokens)

Please let me know if out of bounds tokens were the case. It would be a good tool in the toolbox of "things to check".
ok! when I Ctrl+A there was no selection rectangle, but I wasn't surprised, there have been all kinds of funky display errors. I hit del to clear the layer and reloaded my page.&nbsp; After the reload, all the tokens have been cleared from the token layer and the issues are resolved! It must have been an out of bounds token that got shunted there somehow.&nbsp; Thanks for the most excellent idea :D&nbsp;
So it was all fixed...until we booted up the game to play today.&nbsp; Same exact problems as last week, deleting all the tokens does nothing. Even new problems presenting now: when i try to move from one map to the next, the map shows that I have moved and should be viewing a new scene but after the refresh i am still looking at the previous scene. The game then gets locked and doesn't allow me to move to ANY map other then the one im currently on.&nbsp;&nbsp; This same lobby was bugged before, on creation it refused to load API scripts. A Roll20 staff member had to copy the lobby and only then would it function. Just wondering if it is something to do with the Rise of Tiamat lobby itself.&nbsp;&nbsp; For reference:&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/8114403/error-downloading-scripts-probably-no-scripts-exist-for-campaign" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/8114403/error-downloading-scripts-probably-no-scripts-exist-for-campaign</a> really frustrating, had to cancel a stream tonight because of it. Please help Roll20 gurus!&nbsp;
Can I get an update? Solution? Anything?&nbsp;
