Starting from version 0.5.8.199, we no longer package the image assets with the release. Below is a guide to help you install the images:

Method 1:

  1. Download the assets_pics.zip file.
  2. Unzip the assets_pics.zip file.
  3. Merge the assets folder from the unzipped file into the assets folder in the game root directory.

Method 2:

  1. Download the assets_pics.zip file.
  2. Unzip it to a location of your choice (e.g., D:\assets_pics\). This will create two folders: D:\assets_pics\assets\textures and D:\assets_pics\assets\pics.
  3. Open the launch.json file located in the game root folder.
  4. Edit the image_folders key to the following: 
    "image_folders": [
    "D:\\assets_pics\\assets\\pics\\",
    "D:\\assets_pics\\assets\\textures\\"
],
  5. Save the launch.json file.

After completing these steps, you need to restart the game. If the game is already running, you must “Empty Cache and Hard Reload” your page.

How to “Empty Cache and Hard Reload” in Chrome:

  1. Press F12 to open Developer Tools.
  2. Right-click the refresh button next to the address bar.
  3. Select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload.”

Some of cards did not load correctly. Especially, in preview before play, those Nemesis and Villain cards.

Hi @Average4PlayersGame,

Thank you for reaching out. It sounds like the images are still loading from your browser’s cache. We have updated the document with a guide on how to “Empty Cache and Hard Reload.” Please try it again and let us know if this resolves the issue.

I am not entirely sure what im doing wrong, I have tried both methods and can't seem to get the images to load into the game. Both Friend and myself are not getting images

I copied exactly what was there as well for the Method 2 as well as empty and hard reloaded. Not sure what to do here

Hi @Solar160,

Thank you for reaching out! I understand that you’re having trouble getting the images to load. To help us troubleshoot, could you please provide a bit more detail about the steps you’ve taken? Specifically:

  1. Which folder did you unzip the marvel-lcg-v0.5.8.199.zip and assets_pics.zip files into?
  2. What changes did you make to the launch.json file?

Also, please ensure that you perform the “Empty Cache and Hard Reload” action, as this can sometimes make a difference.

Looking forward to your response so we can get this sorted out!

I Apologize for the lack of answering, came down with the flu. 

I unzipped the folder into the assets folder, it is now sitting above the folder "textures" and "sounds" 

This is what I currently have in the lauch.json file. Just copied it from what was given above. 

+ I see you updated guide to show the "empty cache and hard reload" and followed that step by step and still got nothing.

Any advice or fix or correction is appreciated! Thank You! You guys are doing awesome work.

Hi @Solar160,

Thanks for your patience, and I hope you’re feeling better soon!

I checked the image you provided, and it looks like the assets_pics folder is in the right location: D:\\Downloads\\marvel-lcg-v0.5.8.199\\assets. Please ensure that you have the following folder structure:

  1. D:\\Downloads\\marvel-lcg-v0.5.8.199\\assets\\assets_pics\\assets\\pics
  2. D:\\Downloads\\marvel-lcg-v0.5.8.199\\assets\\assets_pics\\assets\\textures

If that structure is correct, the next step is to update the image_folders key in your launch.json file to:

"image_folders": [
    "D:\\Downloads\\marvel-lcg-v0.5.8.199\\assets\\assets_pics\\assets\\pics",
    "D:\\Downloads\\marvel-lcg-v0.5.8.199\\assets\\assets_pics\\assets\\textures"
],

After making these changes, save the file, restart your game, and perform an “Empty Cache and Hard Reload” in your browser.

Let me know if this resolves the issue or if you need further assistance!

Again, I have Followed all steps, Step by Step, I even Deleted old File of the game and downloaded new File to hard restart. With New steps shown, and "Empty Cache and Hard Reload" Still nothing. 

Just to show it was refreshed and that the step is known, its 

f12 > right click refresh button > "Empty Cache and Hard Reload"

I do have the files in the correct place, even with a quick search in the file search I can find the files using the exact folder Structure given above. 

Only thing I could think is maybe I am editing the launch,json file incorrectly, shouldnt be but there is always a chance, I make sure to save, close and I re-open to make sure it saved. Anyways Pics Provided.

Hi @Solar160,

Thank you for your response and for following the steps so carefully. I appreciate your diligence!

It sounds like you’ve done everything correctly, but I wanted to mention that sometimes the path can be a bit tricky. Please double-check that the path in your launch.json file matches the actual location of your Downloads folder on your PC. The default location for the Downloads folder is typically C:\Users\%UserName%\Downloads\. For example, if your username is “Solar160,” the path would be:

C:\Users\Solar160\Downloads\

You’ll need to update the image_folders key in your launch.json file to reflect this path. It should look like this:

"image_folders": [
    "C:\\Users\\Solar160\\Downloads\\marvel-lcg-v0.5.8.199\\assets\\assets_pics\\assets\\pics",
    "C:\\Users\\Solar160\\Downloads\\marvel-lcg-v0.5.8.199\\assets\\assets_pics\\assets\\textures"
],

Make sure to save the changes and restart your game after updating the paths.

Additionally, if you continue to experience issues, you might want to try using version marvel-lcg-v0.5.8.166, as that release includes the image assets.

Please let me know if this helps or if you need further assistance!
