Dynamic lighting not doing anything

1481886575

Edited 1481886634
I've activated the dynamic lighting setting in the page settings and drawn a room with the polygon/line tool (while on the dynamic lighting layer), when I enter the game as a player and put down a token, there are no dark areas, it can see the entire map, and through the walls that I've drawn
Just discovered that pressing the button that hides/shows the chat interface on the right sort of fixes it. I can see the dark areas and the light being emitted by the tokens and blocked by the walls, but if I move a token/wall the lighting doesn't update

Can you screen shot the DL layer, token settings, and what it looks like when you select a token and press ctrl+L ?
I'm having the same problem. Right now Dynamic lighting doesn't work on any of my maps and I can't block line of sight or anything by drawing on the Dynamic lighting layer. That problem only started today as I played a game yesterday and everything was working just fine.

Hello Eli. Because NemZis reported a similar issue, I loaded my game and checked: Dynamic Lighting is working fine for me right now. To help doublecheck if there's an issue with your settings, Franky's suggestion is great, if you could provide screenshots of your DL layer, token settings, and what it looks like when you select a token and press control-L. Next let's try the usual Troubleshooting steps. Can you please follow Steps 1-3 of our Solving Technical Issues checklist (confirm you're using the latest non-test version of Firefox or Chrome; turn off all extensions, addons, and anti-virus; and clear your cache) to see if one of those components is causing the problem? If doing that fixes the issue, just let us know. Otherwise, move on to Step 4 , and we'll need all that information, especially the console log, to further assist you.
Hi all, thanks for all your tips - I was able to fix my problem and here's what I did: I'm using Chrome usually so I checked my extensions and add-ons, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary + I don't run anything special. Then, I installed Firefox and noticed that everything was working as normal, but dynamic lighting still wouldn't work on Chrome. Back on Chrome, I cleared my browser's cache, but it didn't change a thing. Then I closed Chrome, went on Firefox at&nbsp; <a href="https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/inde" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/inde</a>... and reinstalled Chrome to make sure I had the latest "purest" version. Now everything works perfectly and I'm good to go! Try that Eli and let us know if it works for you too. Thanks again guys!
It seems to be a problem on my end, using firefox instead of chrome fixed the problem
