Same problem here, cannot publish if Preview Image is set. Without image publishes successfully.

The format/size of the image doesn't matter, I've tried it.

Repro steps confirmed. If the image is in the localmods folder of the sub it works. Otherwise it throws an error.

I'm afraid I still could not reproduce this. I'm not clear on the reproduction steps though:

• The original report says "Have no preview, description and change note", yet the screenshot does show the submarine having a preview image.
• The original report also says "Press apply", but the Apply button is always disabled in the publish menu (and seems to be disabled in the screenshot too).
• The newer two comments seem to be about publishing a mod with a preview image, but that doesn't seem to be what the report was about?

@giists would it be possible to provide some more details on how you reproduced this? I tested using a preview image on my desktop with no issues. Where's the preview image located in your case, relative to the executable? Are you publishing a new mod or an update to an existing one? Are you replacing an existing preview image or adding a new one? Which version/branch did the issue occur in?

I've found a solution on my issue, my router was blocking specific things which was partly disrupting the connection between steam and barotrauma. While it was creating a workshop content, it was empty due to the disruption. After solving the router blocking specific signals, everything seemed to work properly again.

Tldr, it was a weird network issue.

After some more testing it seems that these are the steps to get the error.

1. upload a new submarine with a picture and description(shouldn't matter where the image is from)
2. scroll to the bottom and delete the item
3. go to publish it again with the same picture and description
4. error

@giists I think that's probably a separate issue, as the original issue didn't seem to cause the same error message to be thrown. Addressed in https://github.com/Regalis11/Barotrauma-development/commit/4f1bb5dd2467a6070e8cafad83ee005f2e1f2dbb

Following the same steps as before I now get this error.

I am having exactly the same issue described by @enkinghenry @[endkinghenry]. Fail to publish my submarine in Steam workshop. The same Error pop up saying publishing the submarine in the Steam workshop failed. My preview image was a .png, 114kb. The publishing failed with or without the preview image, regardless of the directory of preview file. No red error lines in console. No warning or bug reported.

Empty mod would also appear on my steam workshop page. It created one barotrauma empty mod each time I tried to publish and failed.

This issue made me recall that I had similar mod publishing problem two years ago when I played EA version of Barotrauma. I managed to publish my submarine with steamcmd then. After published successfully with steamcmd I could upgrade the mod normally with mod publishing menu built in game. But these days I tried steamcmd and still failed (cannot even login with constant invalid password or no connection error).

I tried everything I could thought of. Reinstalled Steam, checked internet connection and firewall settings, the issue still there. It would be grateful if anyone can give me a clue about what is going wrong or how to fix it.
