Missing Image with News for Game Sphere release

When the News story for Ninvento’s Game Sphere is displayed, the image to accompany the story is missing. The image for the Game Sphere was displayed on previous related News stories. I have saved the game while the message was displayed, then loaded the game, which then re-displayed the News story, and yet again the image was missing. Unable to attach image (as I am a new user. I have a screenshot and am able to supply once the new user restriction on my account has ended.

System Specifics:
OS: Ubuntu 12.04
Display: Full Screen 1920x1080

might just be a glitch…played several games on ubuntu 12.04.02 x64, never had a problem with that.
are using the latest version(1.3.9) ?

aye, I am using 1.3.9
This particular News story is the only one that has had the issue. I even closed the game entirely and reopened to still have the message missing the image. I have continued playing beyond that point, and have had the image re-appear for the discontinuation of the Game Sphere. So I am unsure of what could have caused the issue, but wanted it logged (and if there was a priority system, would mark this as very low). I deal with software development all day, and logging everything that goes wrong (no matter how trivial) is engraved into my psyche.

if you still have the untouched savegame, u could forward it to the devs…might be an issue…if a rare one

might be another case where we messed up the case-sensitive file name. will check.

Hi,
This bug still exists on every OS where case sensitive filenames are important.
First news about Game Sphere is with use file named: GameSphere.png, but after that first news, each call for this file is with gameSphere.png so this image will be corrupted in:

  • any other news,
  • picking platform for devel. new game/sequel,
  • publishing deal

Quick workaraound for players on Linux: just do cp GameSphere.png gameSphere.png in ~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Game Dev Tycoon/images/platforms/superb

I’m using 1.4.10 Steam release, but I’m sure this bug was also on (as I remember) 1.3.8 (or 9) in standalone version.
OS: Linux
FS: ext4

Thanks, I thought we fixed this ages ago. Will investigate.
EDIT: Confirmed. While we fixed part of this, another part of the code (which builds the urls dynamically) still causes the issue in parts of the game. Will fix in the next update.
