Good day!
I would like to tell you what was happening to me for the last 2 days. I do not believe you can help me, but maybe, just maybe this will help someone?
During my campaign last night one of my players could not get any of the maps.
45654
I host a game with 5 players. 4 of them had NO issue. The one in question was on a mac and has google fiber. My internet speeds, though not the best, are good enough: 25ping / 60 down and 26 up.
1) First we had him clear Cache. – no go.
2) Then we had him uninstall then reinstall. – no go.
3) Then we had him install it on his wife’s PC. – no go.
4) Then I deleted half my extensions. No go
5) Then I deleted all my extensions. – worked!
That is how we played the rest of the evening.
But this morning I called him to see if we could figure out the culprit extension (cause localhost and other people work just fine, so it had to be him). He said sure, so here started my 4-hour testing!
I have something like 25 extensions loaded (we won’t talk about not loaded :) )
1) I loaded 4 of them – working
2) I loaded 4 more – failed
3) I did this over and over. Certain extensions did not work, some worked kind of: he would get some images:
45655
4) I did this for hours, and I finally got to a point that I had 10 extensions loaded with no issue, but could not add one more. Bizarre!
5) I looked at his log files and mine, for errors or even shared image issues, not once did it give a clue.
6) Haha! Let’s try a different campaign! - It worked with all my extensions loaded! Yay!
7) So I recovered a backup from a point I knew it worked on his campaign. – Didn’t work. Huh?
8) Ok. So I remoted into my office computer, where sometimes I DM from. I have a 800down/up there. I copied the data file and moved it over. Started the campaign with all my extensions, and… worked fine! What the heck??
So… I have no idea. I will DM that game from the office. I could try rebuilding the campaign and see if that would work, but man, that is a lot of work. (1.5 years on it). I have wishes for this software, but realize that they are too difficult to make happen (ie; have a host computer that the dm could log into, or it would be awesome to use multi core – sure felt it today, loading/connecting/unloading/ loading/connecting/unloading/ loading/connecting/unloading… LOL)
Anyway – that’s that
Have a good one!
