Error: failed to get image to validate message

[MJF]

Hi, I tried to change a square from a box to a square (box is already present in DB) to the proper image type, but when I selected square this came up

 

Had the same issue with a title screen mislabeled as a box front as well on another game (the actual box was also already present in that game as well)

The image doesn't look to be the required 1:1 ratio.  (maybe the screen capture squished it?)

Yes, but I got the SAME message on a title screen that I tried to change from a box to a title screen as well....

There was a reason I didn't answer the 2nd part.  But I presume the reply to the 1st part was accurate.?.

 

RE: the 2nd part, just now did a quick test and got the same error message.  So I downloaded the actual image and then went to edit it in the database.  Clicked Replace Image and pointed to the one I downloaded and then changed the image type to Screenshot - Title.  So far, no issues.  But then it asked me to input a bunch of other info, so I clicked Cancel.

So a corrupt image? A glitch in the matrix? Don't know.  But the "quick test" work-around seems like it would work to completion.  More-so if I were savvy enough to provide the rest of the info it requested.

I already added the title screen separately and marked the one mislabeled for deletion anyway, so no big deal

I wonder if the image you tried to change to a square was corrupt then also.  Or maybe it's that it wasn't a 1:1. Or that glitch that I mention. Eh. Like you say, no big deal.
