Dynamic Lighting loading glitch

Hi Devs, Run into alittle problem with using Dynamic lighting. while running one of my sessions one of my group members told me, that for him once the map changed to a new one, it loaded up the map THEN D.L. was appilied which basically allowed him to see; the entire map, nasty killing things, and layout included. This glitch also popped up when another one of my players scrolled down the map and D.L. didn't load up fast enough showing yet again everything. I like D.L. it's really intresting for me as a GM and my group likes it too but this has happened several times, is there any way I can fix this ?

How often does the Dynamic Lighting fail to draw fast enough for your players?

Just a workaround: If you use Fog of War in addition to Dynamic Lighting players shouldn't see areas when/if Dynamic Lighting screws up. :) I use the two systems combined to prevent players from moving into areas I am not ready for them to see yet. - Gauss
So far I've had two sessions with it implemented, those sessions were a couple of hours long, each session this would happen atleast twice. Using FOW would work but it's still a shame, considering I looked at DL as an alternative to FOW not an add on.

I believe the two were intended to work together. But, I could be mistaken on that. :) Anyhow, for the person(s) that are seeing the entire map we could use the information from the following link: <a href="http://supportdetails.com/" rel="nofollow">http://supportdetails.com/</a> Please do not include the IP address. - Gauss
