Fog of War difficulties

I have a quick question. I can't see the yellow box to show what I am revealing to the players with fog-of-war. I can turn it on in the page settings (at least the players say the page is dark). As I reveal things by clicking, I can't see what I am doing and they get some open squares visible. I am using Google Chrome browser and a Windows Vista OS. Any thoughts?  Thanks in advance. Everything else is amazing!

In order to remove Fog of War do the following: 1) Hover on the Fog of War icon on the left hand side of the screen. Select 'Reveal Areas' 2) Left click and hold the left mouse button. 3) Drag the mouse over the area you want to reveal 4) Release the mouse button.  In order to see the fog of war yourself you can turn up the fog of war opacity. 1) Click on the blue icon at the top right of the map. 2) Click one the map's settings icon (looks like a gear). 3) increase the opacity slider above the Fog of War checkmark.  I hope this helps.  - Gauss
Thank you for the quick reply. Unfortunately, I have done those steps.  After fog of war is enabled, I don't see the map get darker after turning it on in the settings icon. When I slide the opacity slider, I see no changes as well. Even all the way to the right it won't get any darker.  When I left click and hold over an area I am trying to reveal, no box of any sort (yellow is what's described in the help window) forms over the area I select. It is still equally bright. I know the settings icon saves what I ask it to do when I turn Fog of war off and on.....

Joshua, could you send me a join link to your game in my private message box? I'd like to come take a look.  - Gauss

Josh, could you please go to:&nbsp; <a href="http://supportdetails.com/" rel="nofollow">http://supportdetails.com/</a> &nbsp;and report the information there (except for the IP address). Also, could you please copy your console (Ctrl+Shift+J) and paste it? What we have already determined:&nbsp; You cannot see Fog of War as either a player or a GM. Google+ Hangout of Roll20 native does not affect this.&nbsp; - Gauss

I sent the requested info directly to you, not on the forum. I hope this was OK?

Not really, I need to be able to forward this to the devs and they will come to read the thread including the post you deleted. BUT, I can undelete it so no worries.&nbsp; - Gauss
Something else I just figured out. When Fog of war is on, I CANNOT move tokens. When it is off, I can move them freely..weird.

Thanks for the extra information, that may help narrow it down for them. If you have any other 'weird' issues please report them. I have sent a bug report to the Devs. - Gauss
Any news?
There is a new version of the rendering engine that is going to be coming out early next week. I think your issue will be fixed when that happens. I'll pop in here and let you know when to check and let us know. Sorry for the delay on this, it seems to be a very specific bug.

Joshua, could you let us know if you are still having the fog of war problem? The new version was pushed out today. Thanks - Gauss
Sorry for the delay, I was out of town on a business trip. I tried it and still didn't seem to work. Do I need to delete the google+ app and reload the new version?
