It should be noted that being able to see the math is actually mechanically important in some cases, such as spells like Sorcerous Burst that have special behavior if a specific number is rolled on a damage die. It's important to be able to see the individual die results easily.
The individual numbers still show up in the log. (Assuming the roll shows up in the log, which isn't a guarantee.)
Yeah, I did notice that, though having to go click into the log to find them instead of having them pop up on the screen automatically still represents a downgrade in functionality.
My days of thinking D&D Beyond just doesn't have a QA team at all are certainly coming to a middle.

Always study & sharpen philosophical razors. They save a lot of trouble.
The new dice roller has multiple issues, and ALL the players in the last game that I hosted all said the same thing: the new dice rolling is lousy. 99.99% of the time the players and DM only needs to see the "total" roll. Showing all the dice rolling on everyone's PC sheet is annoying and only needed in the extremely rare 0.01% of the time. Also, the dice are OVER SIZED and covers up too much of my PC sheet.
The GAME LOG sometimes FAILS to show the dice roll.
Sometimes the dice roll a CRITICAL (double dice) when the player didn't roll a critical.
Sometimes the dice roll FAILS to add the PC's bonus to their roll, such as their proficiency bonus or strength bonus for attacks.
In addition, DnDBeyond has become a MEMORY HOG in the past few days on Feb. 23 and Feb. 24, 2026, resulting in slowing down my expensive high-end PC.
DnDBeyond is SLOWING down my PC since approximately Feb. 23, 2026. As a former software tester for many years, I ran several tests with my computer to determine why my PC is slowing down in the past several days, and the smoking gun (the culprit) is the DnDBeyond website. Two other DnDBeyond players also reported similar slowness with their PC and laptop and smartphone (using the DnDBeyond app.). The computer slowness gets worse (slower) when I open multiple DnDBeyond webpages or tabs. As soon as I close all the DnDBeyond webpages and tabs, then my PC runs as fast as normal.
Yet as soon as I use DNDBeyond for several minutes and open two or more DnDBeyond webpages/tabs, then my PC slows down too much.
What hardware are you running this on? Is there anything else running in the background/browser that could have affected this? What program did you use to try & diagnose this?
Because my out-of-date(hardware-wise), 16-tab(including video)-running, and well-worn laptop isn't slowing down, and because of that, I want to try & help diagnose your issue.

I use D&D Beyond across firefox and chrome, over mac, windows, android, and iPad, both website and app, and I've not noticed any slowdown. It's strange that you mention your friends report slowdown with both the app and the website, because with the exception of the native browser within the app for the character builder, they're completely different environments.
Are you running any extensions like AboveVTT or Beyond20? Or anything else that might be modifying DDB like ad blockers? Things point more to this being a localized issue rather than one endemic to DDB itself.
Not OP, but I'm encountering similar issues since the dice roller update. GPU usage has skyrocketed, getting as high as 220% on Firefox. Primarily, this appears to occur where dice rolls could occur (i.e., character maker and character sheets), and then increases when dice rolls do occur. I am running uBlock Origin, but this is consistent with it turned off and on. No additional extensions. Hardware acceleration is turned on.
As title suggests the website is being extremely buggy ie constantly reloading while I am viewing either my or others in my campaigns character, and extremely slow or doesn’t load at all. I have signed out, I have lowered security settings, I have allowed location, I allowed pop ups, I have cleared my cache and cookies along with all my website data too.
Hello, I have 2 computers both running chrome. In one I see the new my dice configuaration but in the other one I see the old one. No matter if I clear cache, cookies, etc... Any ideas? Thank you

Hardware: AMD Ryzen 5 5600x, 32GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 GPU with 2 GB, MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk Gaming Motherboard. Software: Windows 11 24H2. Browser: Chrome latest version. No extensions running. Internet speed is 361 Mbps download and 42 Mbps upload, latency 11 ms, jitter 1 ms.
Prior to opening any browser window and with no apps open except Windows Task Manager, my PC is running at ~ 2% CPU and 20% memory utilization, 0% disk, and 0% network.
Use case: When I DM, I typically need to have 5 or more characters (mostly NPCs) open in my browser. I don't notice a slowdown with webpages loading or a slowdown with my ---> mouse cursor until I open 4 (or more) character webpages at DnDBeyond.
No PC or mouse cursor slowdowns experienced with any other websites, even if I have dozens of websites open. The slowdowns with my PC only occur (as of a few days ago) with 4 or more characters open in DnDBeyond. My PC didn't have mouse slowdowns in January 2026 or in December 2025.
I cannot duplicate this. I currently have 12 DDB pages open including 6 character sheets and am able to roll dice and open apps with no issue on a Windows 11 PC. I just checked the iOS app on my iPhone 13 and there are no issues there either.

OK. From the looks of your setup, your computer is newer than mine in some ways, but has some older parts, too.
Hardware-wise, you've got a better NVIDIA than I do.
So we can eliminate that as the problem.
I replicated the conditions you set(4 characters open+16 tabs), opened Maps, and saw what happened.
From what Task Manager told me, there were odd spikes during dice rolls, but it quickly went down after those.
Did you run your test while rolling digital dice vs not rolling said dice?

Prior to opening any browser window and with Discord voice chat open and Windows Task Manager, my PC is running at ~ 14% CPU and 64% memory utilization, 0% disk, and 0% network.
Opening Chrome browser with DNDBeyond character, it runs at ~ 20-40% CPU and 76% memory utilization, 1% disk, and 0% network.
Adding a VVT tab to play session or rolling dice, it runs at ~ 44-60% CPU and 82% memory utilization, 1% disk, and 0% network.
When rolling dice, about half the time, I am unable to see my own dice rolls (set to roll to everyone) but others can see. A few times, rolling also causes my entire screen to go black, requiring alt+tab to bring it back. Fellow party members report intermittent issues with being able to view dice rolls as well.
Use case: When I play, I typically need a minimum of Discord, 1 DNDBeyond character sheet, and 1 DNDBeyond VVT tab. When I DM, I typically need Discord, 4 or more DNDBeyond characters, DNDBeyond VVT, 2 or more DNDBeyond resources open in my browser. Prior to this week, I had only noticed a slowdown if my internet was having issues, regardless if I played on laptop or desktop. This week, I noticed a significant slowdown and the issues noted above.
Hello, as of 2/23/26 i haven't been able to roll anything through the website. it works on the app but whenever I click on the bonus to the roll nothing happens, wares in the past it would roll the dice. I don't have beyond 20 and dice rolling is turned on. thank you very much for any help.

I’m having the same problem, and it still happens even when I disable the Beyond20 extension.
Any help will be thankful.

Hi,
Sometime between the weekend and yesterday DNDbeyond started to eat up all of the memory.
While I only have 32Gb of memory, memory usage went from ~21% to 100%, with DBDBeyond utilising all of the spare memory.
I noticed that this only seems to happen under certain circumstances:
As soon as I launch the VTT the memory starts to rise, occasionally it (the VTT) also becomes unresponsive
Regards.
P.S. The players liked the ability to view other player's dice rolls as well as the reveal ability.

iPhone and iPad having major difficulty even looking at characters let alone getting in maps or rolling dice. I posted separately as well.
