Any Drawing vanishes after a few moments when...

Post by LordBeerusOL »

Any Drawing vanishes after a few moments when scrolling in and out on the map, moving on the map, or anything else. Only undoing the drawing and redoing it makes it reappear, but it disappears again 5-10 seconds later if I move. My players do not notice anything like this, only me. I'm the DM and server host.

I've done a full clean reinstall of Maptools 1.11.4 (the version everyone is on), erasing old user data and setting all my settings back up. It still happens. It happens on any map, told or new. I don't know what to do about this, and not being able to see drawings, blast or cone templates and other things makes it difficult to remember in the middle of DMing.

Someone recently had this problem and they said that turning off auto-save stopped it from happening.

Please report back if that works for you.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. A lot has happened over the month+ since I posted. Yes, turning the Auto-Save to 0 seemed to do the trick. That had never happened before, but thankfully it did fix things. I always manually save so it's not a problem. Thank you for your help, and finally getting this cleared up for me!
