So, there is this weird bug on Scratch that turns some of the costumes in my project into question marks. I was able to temporarily fix this issue by resetting the webpage for the project a lot of times. However, the project would eventually have this issue again and again.


I've listed information that is about my operating system, just in case it is important:
My browser / operating system: Windows NT 10.0, Chrome 129.0.0.0, No Flash version detected

I'm not sure what caused this issue in the first place. However, I do believe it is because I have so many sprites on my project. I have exactly 174 sprites ln this project that I'm working on.

Can you help me fix this issue, Scratch Team?

It could be having issues because of the amount of sprites in the project or the browser you're trying to use.
Could you provide some more info on the device you're trying to use?

This happens when the costume is corrupted when being sent from Scratch's servers to your device.

To fix this, just reload without saving the project.

Here. I've taken a picture of some more information on my operating system:

I did try this method. However, it would only temporarily fix this issue. The costumes would be switched back to normal, but they would immediately switch back into question marks.

Check your Wi-Fi connection, or use Turbowarp (which repeatedly tries to load things like costumes until they actually do).

I've checked my Wi-Fi connection, and it turns out it was really low. Fortunately, I managed to connect to a different internet service and got better Wi-Fi. Thanks for helping me out!

This saved my whole life just now. Use turbowarp, guys

happened to me too;

my project had more than 500 costumes and about 5% of it was corrupted.
windows 11, pc, microsoft edge



then while loadingscreen appears, it would change from 5/1 assets loaded, 2/1, 7/3, whatever thats an improper fraction. im pretty cooked

if this happens to any of yall, dont panic
reboot your wifi, and as the other people said.. reload, check your internet, and the costumes will reload
thanks!
