### Why does VASSAL hang (with the window going white) when I open a scenario?
Images (such as nationality flags and VASL counters) cannot be stored in the `.vsav` file itself, and so must be stored elsewhere, and VASSAL loads them from there.
There are two places these images can be loaded from (configured in the Settings dialog):
* **from this program**: in this case, the `vasl-templates` program must be running before you open the scenario, otherwise VASSAL will be trying (unsuccessfully) to load images from it, and it waits a long time for each image before giving up. <br> <br> If you are playing with someone over the internet, they must also have `vasl-templates` running, otherwise they will have the same problem.
* **from the internet**: in this case, VASSAL will download images from the internet, so you must have a working internet connection. Unfortunately, VASSAL is a little slow downloading images, but be patient, and the scenario will eventually appear.
For fastest results, disable images completely (by unchecking all the options in the *Images in scenarios* box in the Settings dialog) - VASSAL will then load scenarios instantly (but they won't look as good).
