  1. Unable to open a png from the files of a game, despite the game being able to still read it


    All I get is 'It looks like we don't support this format' from photos, and no other program will open it. The game itself can still open it, though, and uses the file(s) ingame. how to I fix this?

    i've already tried renaming the file to different types, and put a post on the game subreddit (which weirdly got downvoted). any idea what might be wrong?
