Dynamic Lighting Issues

So i recently bought Baldur's Gate and became a Plus account member not to long ago. I'm trying to set my game up, and i've read the wiki, watched videos, and even tried the steps I've seen from previous forums. but nothing seems to work, a solution would be much appreciated. 

Can you describe what the issue is?

keithcurtis said: Can you describe what the issue is? The issue I'm having is that nothing is being lit up or revealed. For example I put a token onto the page, all the lines on dynamic lighting are done, and i hit ctrl+L and its completely black. I then go into the advance settings for the token, set it to reveal 60ft + has sight. After saving the changes and hitting ctrl+L it's still dark.

Some things to check. 1. Is regular Fog of War on? If so, have any areas of the map been revealed using the reveal tool? The default once activated is that the whole map is obscured. 2. Check the page settings. Is Dynamic Lighting for that page on? 3. You stated a "reveal" distance of 60 feet. That sounds like Advanced Fog of War. Is the token itself emitting light? Like from a torch ("Others see Light") or darkvision ("Others see Light" is off)? Is there any other light source on the page? 4. Can you post screen shots of the token's light and sight settings, as well as the DL area of the Page settings?

BTW, under no circumstances turn on both Advanced Fog of War and Global Illumination at the same time. That is a known cause of severe lag.

I can't see from the first screen shot whether regular Fog of War is enabled. That would be my guess, since with "Global Illumination" on, there whould be no light requirement. If Fog of War is on, you will need to either turn it off, or reveal areas you do not want obscured, using the Reveal tool (the one that looks like an eyeball).

 i do apologize i forgot to take a snapshot of the fog of war image. I do not currently have it on, and am still facing the same issues.

That's very strange. I'f you'd like to shoot me an invite via PM and then promote me to GM, I can look around and see what I can discover. But from what I can see, that should be working.

For anyone following, it was likely a matter of the tested token not being the one that sight had been applied to. Once sight was enabled, vision appeared as per normal.
