Dynamic lightning not working for myself or my players.

Hullo, I don't mean to be a pest.  The dynamic lighting feature isn't working for me, actually hasn't been working for us for the last two weeks.  I have tried resetting the features on the maps I wish to use it when I use my experimental token to test lightning and such I don't see anything when I'm a player with light and have sight clicked on.  I dunno if there was anything changed, checked the backlogs for updates and nothing looks changed.  Is there anything I can do on my end before getting anyone involved?

Do you have Fog of War turned on? If so, have you cleared any areas?

If you have AFoW on the page, turn it off. The interaction between DL and AFoW is broken.

Well, it was working on a map previously one that they have been working on for the past couple of weeks it was when we switched maps that it stopped working and I copied the same settings from the previous map and when I drop my text token, in the previous map, it doesn't work.  So what I'm gathering from my research after posting this is either turn off everything and go back to classic Fog of War or Turn off AFoW until they fix.  Is that correct?  If so thank you for taking the time to answer my question and plea.  I like the DL as a feature and it helps with revealing areas of the map, and takes some pressure off of me.

Hard to tell without looking at the actual game, but if you copied a map and assets, and copied the settings, and one of those settings is (regular) fog of war, you will need to manually reveal the areas you want to be visible. After you have done this, DL will work fine. But when you turn on Fog of War, it's exactly like laying down a big sheet of black paper on your table. And yes, DL and Advanced Fog of War are not interacting well at the present.
