Ok...had my opponent do the set up file with several overlays, which I could see. All I did was to add my units and then started my logfile. Sent the file back to him for his turn and he can't see the overlays that he originally put on the boards. Why? I can see them. But, now he can't see them. Weird issue.

I’m guessing you used the Overlay extension to place your overlays and your opponent does not have the overlay extension installed.

Can he still load his original file correctly?

Does he or you have the overlay extension?

he set the board up, not I.
Okay, wrong guess.

Is it working now?

If not, do you know if your opponent used the legacy placement method or the Overlay extension?

Other usual suspects..

Same VASL version for you both?
Same VASSAL version?
JAVA has caused weird issues in the past. Did either of you update JAVA before the first log file was exchanged?

Isn’t the overlay extension part of the default VASL mod?
