Updated Dynamic Lighting not working

Hi there, sorry if this has been covered extensively in another thread, but here goes. I bought the Out of the Abyss module when it was released and am a Plus member. I simply can’t figure out how to get UDL working. Legacy works just fine, but if I turn UDL on on the Page and the token, my characters see nothing. I’ve tried toggling on everything on both the light sources and the PC tokens...Has Sight, All Players Can See Light, allowing PCs to control the tokens, everything. It feels like there’s just some global setting I’m missing but I can’t figure it out. I’ve read the wiki several times and just can’t see what I’m missing. As I said, legacy works, but I’d like to start a new campaign using the most up to date features so I don’t have a hard switchover later. Thanks.

Yeah, even though the UDL is "Live", it is not ready for prime time. I don't believe it was ever intended to be, and is effectively is in beta testing as far as I can tell (or they wouldn't have kept LDL around in parallel). Probably could have made it more immediately clear to the typical GM that isn't constantly scouring the forums. Definitely use LDL until everything is ironed out. 
Okay, that makes me feel better that it’s not something I’m doing wrong. Thanks for responding!

The dedicated bug thread for UDL lists know bugs, and the UDL in-game also says it's in devoplemtn and isn't recommended for full use or something. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/8422745/a-new-light-bug-thread-updated-dynamic-lighting-and-fog-of-war" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/8422745/a-new-light-bug-thread-updated-dynamic-lighting-and-fog-of-war</a>
If UDL was a car, you just picked up the frame, wheels and half of the engine, with a strong promise that the car will look great when they figure out how to make the rest of it. It will theoretically be good, but the operative word is WILL .

Okay, I've finally cracked under the pressure. I couldn't see a suggestion to change the UDL "Active Development" text to something more... err.... honest?? So I used my last vote .
Honest, honest is good.
