I'm new to the FX engine, and have a problem/question/source of befuddlement: I'm logged into a game on two computers.  On my desktop, I'm GM.  On my laptop I reloged as a player (same account).  When I create FX on either computer, they do not display on the other.  This cannot possibly be right.  What am I doing wrong?

Are you using the FX tool, or activating from a macro or script? If the latter, are you and the player account both on the map that currently has the ribbon?

I'm using macros and the tool on the GM side, and a PC macro on the Player side.  By 'Ribbo' I guess you mean the 'players' bookmark.  Yes, that's the map "we" are both on.

So I created a second account with my work email, and invited myself as a player.  Now it all works as expected.  So, I guess that's just a quirk of the system that it doesn't sen them FX to the same account twice.
