I'm building a random encounter table in Encounter Builder and for the last week it seems like any time I try to add an item in edit mode it gets real squirrely about whether or not it's going to save the item or groupings when I hit Save or drop all of the new additions on the way to the Run Encounter screen. The first time it happened I lost a solid hour's worth of work in finding and adding the creatures I wanted. Since then, I tried saving more frequently, only to find it's not always saving the new additions. Is there some unwritten limit on the number of creatures an encounter list can hold? I'll admit the one I'm working on is getting a bit long, but I need the species stats as well as an assortment of "class" entries since we can't just build NPCs on the fly. Or is there some sort of glitch that's hitting more people than I realize?
I’ve noticed lately that sometimes I save something in the encounter builder and it appears as if absolutely nothing that I did has been saved, but after a few minutes if I refresh the page it seems all my edits are suddenly there again and saved correctly. 🤷♂️ Next time try closing the window, waiting about 5-10 minutes and then open the encounter builder again and see if it’s correct? Can’t hurt at least. I mean, at that point what have you got to lose?
I'm breaking up the encounter table into smaller chunks. It'll be less convenient if (read WHEN) my players run off in a completely random direction than I think they're going to go, but at least DDB allows for multiple browser tabs to operate on a single account.
@IamSposta , I have noticed the Save lag as well. It seems to be about a 45/45 chance of saving, but not looking like it and losing everything after the fact, and just not taking the changes during the save. The last 10% suggests it saved additions as expected. It's not great odds at this point.

Hmmm….🤔 I’ve been experiencing more like 45% saving, 45% saving with lag, and maybe 10% not saving at all.🤷♂️

Maps has been a little weird the last day or two as well, for what that is worth.

Yeah, the devs are jackhammering away at the code, just on the other side of our screens again.
