Steam Guide - Images Frequently Wont Load

[Leiraion]

I've noticed a ton of the time I go to check up on my guide the images won't blow up.
They appear in the guide just fine, but if I click to enlarge them 90% of the time it says,
"Sorry!
An error was encountered while processing your request:

Invalid URL"

I've even noticed the guide's thumbnail image appear broken sometimes. It always fixes itself after some time but it's really annoying...


Anyone know why this happens so frequently?

This is likely due to bad internet on your end

How can it be that images frequently don't allow me to enlarge them on my guide, but I can at any time stream a service like netflix uninterrupted?

If it was internet it wouldn't be that the images can't load for minutes straight (while watching youtube or streaming something or playing some other game), then work fine at other points?

I very seriously doubt it's my internet...

Excuse me, but how is this likely to be due to bad internet on his end if we cannot see those images either?

Currently, I see the same error.

I can always see images unless my internet is weak or is being used by other devices at the same time. I can still watch videos and Netflix with dodgy internet

Other people are also getting the same issue when trying to enlarge any of the images.

Again, for clarity, all images ALWAYS load when you go to the guide. You just can't enlarge them.

I have the same problem, which started a few days ago.

The thumbnails in the guide are fine,
but when clicking on them it gives the INVALID URL error.
But if I then click on the image's link (upper left corner of error window) it enlarges them in a new window where it shows the image without problem.

[Sigh]

Yup, also started having this issue around a week ago.

Been especially bad in the last 2 weeks. My steam client has been throwing a sickie. Every day it has a different complaint.

I have been getting this error for the past several days too.

Get the "Invalid URL" message on guide images, but if I click the link on the header of that message page I can get to the image and enlarge it etc no problems!

My guess is something on steam has broken.

Edit# If you click the middle mouse button on the image you want to view it should open up. Previously I was clicking right mouse button to open them, but that doesn't work now. But middle click does. Just tested it!

Images I've added to my guides seem to disappear randomly. I no longer see them in the list of available images.

Got blank client again this morning. Then it suddenly worked again. Flapping network?

I get that problem too from time to time. Don't know what causes that, it looks random. Some guides are fine, but in others more than a dozen images get corrupted and I have to reupload them under a new file name.

This seems to be a bug with Steam.

I've added images to my guides and when you click them it gives a popup with invalid url message, however if you click the same url at the top of that popup window (in steam client) it opens another popup window that does actually display the image.

Here's my guide as example of the problem.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2856356805

So this is example URL for the initial popup that shows the invalid url message..

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/displayimageformodaldialog/?imageurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net%2Fugc%2F1767121243978616507%2F60C1AE6B8FEB66FE862989FDD3EF9286B1BA5C06%2F

and below is the URL for the image which works and displays in the second popup (which only shows in steam client, not web)

https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1767121243978616507/60C1AE6B8FEB66FE862989FDD3EF9286B1BA5C06/

Might be something funky with steam converting characters in the image filename in the url.

Happening to me and my friends too, especially annoying for guides where you need to enlarge images to make out the details. Hope they fix it soon.
