HELP!! Dynamic lighting Issue - Things disappear from GM layer when more than one PC token with darkvision is in the same area.

When more than one player token with darkvision is in an area on a map, everything on the GM layer in that area disappears from view.  Marker text, monster tokens, the lot.  I can't see what I put there and have no idea of the exact location of the things anymore.  Does anyone know a fix?  This is happening when I try different PC token combinations. Not just the same ones.
Yes this a known issue with Updated Dynamic Lighting.

Are you using Legacy DL, or using Updated Dynamic Lighting? When this bug occurred the first time? is it only affecting one campaign? What layer do you have active when everything disappears? If you're using UDL, please post in the main UDL Thread for increased visibility.
It's Updated Dynamic Lighting. &nbsp; I first noticed it 2-3 weeks ago. &nbsp; Affecting more than one game. &nbsp; I have the token layer active at the time. &nbsp; I've since found a workaround by switching back to Legacy. &nbsp;From further trawling through the community here, I see it's affecting a lot of people. &nbsp;

I have the same issue. The active lighting is hiding anything you put on the GM layer. It's still there, and you can find it by going to the layer and dragging a select box around the location, then dragging tokens out to a non-lit area, but the areas "lit" by a character tokens darkvision (need more than 1) is hiding the entire GM layer. It's as if it's creating a curtain of impenetrable light to obscure things.
Do you all have your screen, not vtt, at 100% normal zoom? I know that tweaked a lot of systems. My players don't hide the gm layer with all or only 2 containing DV
As in the zoom of the browser set to 100%? If that's what you mean, then yes, I do.
Got ya. yeah i was just trying to replicate it. I had to throw down 3 or 4 of my PCs with DV to have the GM layer tokens disappear. I wonder if its only 2 for some if map layer yall are on is lighter color tone wise.
oh actually I found a situational thing just now too. If you have a light source around those Tokens, they don't go invis, thats why mine took 3 or 4 PCs. My map was just the yawning portal and if I left the GM token in the well, none of the emitting lights would reach the inside so when I drug my Pcs next to it, they hid it. When the GM tokens are next to a light source, they still show...uunless all players have DV and then there might still be a problem.
The reason given in the main UDL bug thread is that tokens will disappear when within the overlapping area of two tokens with darkvision enabled.
