Well, you could start here: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Solving_Technical_Issues" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Solving_Technical_Issues</a> Depending on the age/grade of your hardware and the quality of your internet connection, you may have trouble loading larger maps, especially with dynamic lighting enabled.&nbsp; The larger the map, the more dynamic lighting lines there are, the more tokens there are that have vision or shed light that need rendered, and so on all add up.&nbsp; I have one player in a game that can't load a dynamically lit map if the base image is much over 2MB, so that may or may not be a similar issue for you.&nbsp; Whoever is running the game might want to look at the following articles. <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Optimizing_Roll20_Performance" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Optimizing_Roll20_Performance</a> <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Dynamic_Lighting_Examples#Best_Performance_Guide" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Dynamic_Lighting_Examples#Best_Performance_Guide</a> <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Best_Practices_for_Files_on_Roll20" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Best_Practices_for_Files_on_Roll20</a>
I have problems loading the map, too. If I use the inspector, I can see that the transfer rate from aws drops sometimes to some bytes per second. This seems to be an interconnction between the german telekom and aws (There some news about ongoing negotiation about who pays for the traffic). Speed tests to other sides are excelent nearing my maximum of 100 mb/s. Sometimes it helps to reload the page. Right now I open roll20 about an hour ahead of gaming and switch through the maps needed.
