Line of sight not working

I just purchased Lost Mine of Phandelver and I can't get LOS to work. From what info I've been able to find I needed to open the map, unlock it, select Play mode and select the eye to turn on LOS. When I do this the GM map dims and when I share the map it shows as black like it should. As soon as I add a token to the map the player's map clears like the player can see everything. It's like there are no walls or anything to block the view.

That would be useful if I was setting up a map. The Lost Mine is supposed to have that all set up already, correct?.

Are you only seeing this from the GM screen? The player view and GM view are different.

Also make sure that you are doing this on the players maps. The DM maps have no LoS information on them.

And also make sure that you have placed a token on the map via the combat tracker.

I'm running a GM view and a second instance connected via localhost for the player view.

I was placing the token via the combat tracker, but it seems I was using the DM map, although I could have sworn that I tried it with both player and DM maps. Anyway, it works if I use the player map.

Thanks guys it looks like it was just user error.:o
