Question Mark Bug won't leave my unshared project I haven't touched in weeks.

Slatch12

I pretty much tried resetting the page and deleting the tab but it kept coming back. I haven't touched this in years and I'm supposed to port it to another site.

It's probably because of the server issues. Here's what happened to my thingie.

My internet is doing fine.
I had shared the project to load it on Turbowarp then later unshared it to see if it's fixed on there, but it ain't.

I just began suffering this same issue!

I went to a project of mine for this specific intro I need for a project I'm working on, but no matter how many times I refresh the page, the question marks refuse to fix themselves. I have even gone to the point of restarting my PC, but literally no change. It isn't even affecting different sprites/costumes, its always targeting specific ones. I imagine this is a server issue, as only now am I beginning to see issues. Hopefully everything will restore itself after its fixed.

Me too!

They seem random to me and since I mainly use Scratch as a means of drawing, it really impacts me more than if specific costumes were targeted.

I'm having the same issue. Normally, the corrupted costumes fix themselves after a refresh or two, but this time, they aren't going away.

It's happening to multiple projects that I own, even the unshared ones. I'm getting concerned the fact that most of my projects got this issue.

Turns out that the unloaded graphic had actually replaced those costumes, and I had to remake them. its all fine now, but i have no idea how this happened and would like to know.

Luckly, some tabs I had open was before this bug happened, so I saved it to the offline editor. But when I refreshed the online page, it got the same issue.

All the work I put into my projects have been devolved into questionable squares

Unfortunately, this applies to specific costumes in specific sprites, and I don't know if they will actually be recovered since refreshing the page don't work because the Question Mark bug replaced those costumes.

But on the bright side, most of the sprites didn't get affected by this issue

I would absolutely love to send you the sb3 to see what the heck is wrong with the sprites. But anyways let’s just buzz ourselves and hopefully Scratch will fix it.

Sorry to hear about this issue. Engineering is going to want links to specific projects that are showing the issue so that they can track it down. Please supply some project links and a description of which sprite / costume is missing.

This issue seems to happen frequently on my unshared projects. This bug also happens in this project

I'm seeing question marks on costumes 1,2,5 and 7 of the stage as well as elsewhere in the project.

A lot of sprites have question marks but not in all their costumes. Some sounds are completely muted

But the sprites that did get affected basically broke the game. On the good side, I had previously put those games on a different website before they were affected and those were fine because I used turbowarp

I'll unshare it when you guys fix the project. ^^

Lots of my sprites are also question marks
