Been troubleshooting why my shared map is not displaying for a connected player.

I've followed the steps mentioned here:
https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?54734-Players-not-seeing-maps

- My map is labeled "Public"
- It has been shared (via Share Record)
- The connected player can see the map in the list of assets, and can see it is public.
- When the pc opens the map, they get a black screen. They cannot see any tokens, either.
- In the map on the host, there are 3 layers. The first is set to Visible to All
- The client is free, I am on an Ultimate license

While this may not be directly related, I had a Standard version prior to upgrading to Ultimate on the FG site (not via Steam). However, while I see my Standard purchase in my Order History, I do not see my Ultimate license. I used the license key I received via email, and launching the server, I do see that it is an Ultimate license.

What else am I missing to get these maps shared? Thank you

Is the player token on the map? Do you have lighting enabled? Does the player have a light source or special vision? If they aren't on the map they won't see anything; if lighting is enabled and they don't have a light source or vision then they won't see anything.

Edit: Sorry I didn't see this was your first post until I pressed return. Welcome to FG and you'll find more info on lighting here https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGCP/pages/1312784387/Adding+Lights+to+Maps+and+Tokens

Thank you, it turns out I had line of sight toggled, which interestingly in this case basically blacked out the entire image.
