when damage was dealt by pc / creature, players got "no damage" message (see attached), when in fact there was damage dealt and seen in chat window.

at first i thought it was an error related to resistance (e.g. skeleton: cold 5, electricity 5, fire 5, piercing 5, slashing 5), but it appeared on any damage roll.

gm, however, can see all correct damage results feedback.

What are your Options settings? Can you attach the export XML from the Options window?

Oh, one of my players mentioned the same issue when playing last night with Shadowdark. I did not see it myself as I was preoccupied with other GM stuff, lol. I think the message in the actual chat was correct though, just the banner popup was wrong.

The export settings button is at the top of the window in your screenshot.

@tahl_liadon - was the creature hidden on the combat tracker?

Can you provide a screenshot also showing the damage output in the chat window?

Can you recreate the issue in a campaign without any extensions loaded?

no. but i've done some tests -- narrowed down what changes i recently made, i.e. adjusting options -- and identified the problem; it is repeatable:

when "chat: show results to client" is set to "friendly (only)"
