View Full Version : Issue with another map

Hello,

I have been having issues with several maps over the past few patches. The maps I was aware of at the time were corrected, and they normally had visual issues for me as the DM. As of today, I am having issues with another map, except this time, everything shows for me as a DM. However, the players were only seeing a tile or two. I turned off lighting/line of sight - added light sources, nothing changed what the player's saw. If I copied the invisible map tile, and placed it, it could be seen. If the player shut down FGU, and reloaded/entered campaign, they could see map - but it showed entire map like they explored it - areas outside of line of sight were darkened like normal. If I unshared/re-shared - visual glitch occurred again.

I have uploaded the image the player sees, and now i'll add what I see as a dm

I am getting concerned about maps, as I created this map a few years ago, and it glitched - and maps I created the previous weeks have glitched, so this seems to be a pattern probably within the past month or so. It takes me awhile to build some of these maps, and most of the maps I make these days are with map assets bought from FG store. I don't always have alot of time to work on my campaign at times, and when these issues pop up the day of a campaign, it is rough. I know the previous maps were either fixed by a dev or with a patch, so I am curious if there is something I can quickly fix on my end, or do I need to keep making a post every time this issue creeps up?

Thanks,

There was a bug that was introduced in January that could introduce errors in the layer hierarchy. It was sometime later that we started receiving bug reports on the error and a few patches were released in an attempt to address the error. The real source of the error was uncovered and the final patch to fix the hierarchy was then released. It looks like the patch is working, since your layers appear to all be present as the GM. The first thing I would check would be to verify that none of the layers missing on the player have been inadvertently set to GM Only. If that is not the issue, I'd have to take a look at the campaign. If I already have the campaign, could you remind of the name of the campaign?

I checked if layers were set to gm, was the first thing I wanted to double check, I sent you the campaign in an email - Three Cents War. That was on 3/18/26. If you need me to upload a fresh/current copy please let me know. And also if you do correct it, can you let me know what is needed to correct them, so I can just do it in the future - thanks. But hopefully I'll never have to do it again :)

I'm not able to reproduce the error. Is only one player experiencing this?

All players, including myself, if I log in with a client on a different machine.

Can you send me your current db.xml, so I'm certain I have the same data?

Just sent an email with the updated file.

Thanks.
