Disconnects cause resets

So, it's an issue I've been having for a while, but haven't seen anyone else report it.

When I'm hosting a game, if any of my players DC and reconnect-- or a player joins late-- the map resets for all of my players (but not me), to the state it was in when the map was first loaded. This is seriously jarring for them, as some disconnect frequently thanks to garbage internet connections.

That seems to similar to something brought up some months ago. We were unable to get further details from the user, but we've went ahead with amending how (the entire) campaign data is sent across to clients. ETR is within 3 days. Please test once it's released, and let us know how it goes.

Thanks.

My next session with them is Saturday; I'll be sure to update then. Thanks for looking at it!

Edit/Update: The issue seems to be fixed! And as a side benefit, the maps are loading *MUCH* faster, and token movement is smoother, too. Thanks a ton!

Glad to hear it. We've been wanting to fix that old part of legacy code for the longest time, but refrained from doing so because of the risks involved. But I'm glad we finally did. Let us know if there is anything else we can do to help.
