pygame.error: Unsupported image format

[rofl0r]

works fine for me with python 2.7 based pygame <3

«Pygame may not always be built to support all image formats. At minimum it will support uncompressed BMP. If pygame.image.get_extended() returns 'True', you should be able to load most images (including PNG, JPG and GIF).»

mine outputs True for print(pygame.image.get_extended())

Hi @EinstokFair

When you start the game, do you get the menu and are you able to access the Options to change theme?

I ask because the image it fails to load is for the default theme. I was hoping that you as a work around could try one of the other themes, but I am bit unsure what works for you at this stage.

[nthykier]

If that does not work, then a more involved attempt is to modify the prefs.dat file (you may have to create it) and set the theme=vector. But I admit it is far from "good".

Scratch that - the vector theme depends on the default theme, so it would still crash. We need to resolve the reason for why your pygame says it supports the images we need and then fail to deliver on that promise. This may be a bug in your distribution build of pygame (if you are using a distribution) or pygame itself.

It is possible to choose theme via command line argument at command line. But I don't know which name to try.
I am unable to get into "options" menu, because stack trace appears right after the application start.

UPD:
