Players with Multiple Tokens - Preview Lighting Function not working correctly

Hi, We are running a campaign with player NPCs in the party (not an uncommon occurrence for players to adopt locals!) but the preview lighting (ctrl + L) function doesn't seem to work for them like it does for the DM (me) so that it is hard to determine which character has what line of sight. Is this a bug, or are we doing something wrong? Cheers, Beardy_Hobbit

Hi Beardy_hobbit! Can you verify if the problem is local to them? You can test using a  Dummy Account . If you want more help, you could post screen shots of the permissions and dynamic lighting settings for both tokens as they exist on the map where the problem is occurring. DL settings of the page might help, too. From this we can try and replicate the issue, and if necessary send a report or a  Help Center Request .

Hi, The problem is with all 3 players so I don't think it's local (3 different locations).  Screenshot wise, i've set up a fake scenario to make it clearer what the issue is. I've put all three players controlled by 'all players' (as the issue has been from when players have had more than one token to control). I've shown the view I (DM) have when previewing the tokens visiblity below: with 3 characters, with no darkvision, 60ft darkvision and 120ft darkvision.  then, the views the players get on the preview are: Let me know what else I can do / show to help :)

Thanks! That clarifies it quite a bit. I'll do some repro testing today to see if I can figure out the issue, but I just had a huge fob dumped in my lap, so it might not be until this evening. It certainly does look like something is going on. In the meantime, could you share a screenshot of the page DL settings? It looks like Explorable Darkness is on (Transparent tokens at the edge of sight are an indicator), and I want to make sure I am duplicating the setup properly.

I think these are the settings you are looking for? let me know if there's anything else that would help

Thanks, with that I was able to verify. The ability for players to independently preview separate tokens was introduced back in June. It is possible that a later update has caused a regression of this behavior. I have made a report. You can also report this in a  Help Center Request , if you wish.

Great, thank you for the help :) I have also submitted in the hopes they patch this ASAP!
