Brent, I have done various tests and here is what I found.

Method:

Bug 4278: I used the counter\_intuitive test module from this thread: [url][https://forum.vassalengine.org/t/synchronizing-same-name-gp-on-different-maps-buggy/4678/1](https://forum.vassalengine.org/t/synchronizing-same-name-gp-on-different-maps-buggy/4678/1)]

Bug 4302: I used the Marvel Heroes module to check order of reports in log

Where necessary I did more than one test run.

Results:

Vassal 3.1.20 - build 8224:

Bug 4278: fixed 😃  
Bug 4302: not addressed? ☹

Vassal 3.2.0 - build 8221:

Bug 4278: fixed 😃  
Bug 4302: not addressed

Vassal 3.2.0 - build 8224:

Bug 4278: fixed 😃  
Bug 4302: errors/crash (see below) ☹

Details:

With Vassal 3.2.0 - build 8224 the Marvel Heroes module crashes at the start, right after one or the other network player clicks on his/her initial check in button. Sometimes on the first click, sometimes on the second. Only the local computer will receive the error report, the remote one won’t know about it except the game won’t work as expected from there on: the local computer seems to be able to continue after closing the error message but the remote computer doesn’t seem to get the updates and synchronization is lost. Btw, those check-in buttons don’t involve global hotkeys.

Sample error message (but not sure this looks the same as in a previous test run):
