Dynamic Lighting Issues with most Browsers

January 09 (3 weeks ago)

Edited January 10 (2 weeks ago)

In todays Game one of my Players asked "what shadow?" when i told her about the spots of light and shadow in the room. We were totally confused, until we exchanged Screenshots...

This is how the Room was set up. Blue is Dim-Light



Now this is how she was seeing the Map:

The Field of View was working just fine, but Dynamic Ligthing with Shadows and all that did not.

Then we tried other Browser. Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera...not one of them worked. So far only Firefox showed the correct Image.
We tried checking WebGL, Hardware Acceleration, even different rendering Engines. Nope. Nothing worked.

EDIT: I also tested with a Dummy Account. Thats not working either.

Maybe this has something to do with it? This Error only shows up in those Browsers.

Firefox does not have those errors:

Does the character in question have dark vision or carry an untinted light source? Either one can interfere with tinted lighting. Do not rely on tinted lighting. It's gimmicky and not trustworthy (an unlikely to change anytime soon, since blend modes in Canvas/HTML are not very robust).

I don't know about the error messages. That's too specialized for me.

That was one thought we had too. The Character in that screenshot does indeed have Darkvision. The Blue Tint is his Darkvision, so that he can see the spots better. The Light itself was regular, just a few basic sources with 10ft or so.

We also tried tokens without Darkvision, and also tried setting up a new token, but all had the same issue.

The Discord Activity has this issue too.
