Same here with new GIFs :/

Do you mind sharing what pages you expect to see what on? List the URL and what images should or should not be animated.
We pushed out some changes to our image processing server that caused some invalid image resizes to get cached. I want to spot check any problem pages to ensure that the functionality is working as before.
Note that some caches may take some time to get refreshed.
Thanks
I've tried with another cover GIF for my game "Endless Escalation", only this time with the recommended size (630x500). It now animates in game lists but only when hovering it, not by default.
This is the GIF:
And here are the pages where you can see the cover not animating unless you hover it:

Cover images have been “hover to play” for many years now. There was a bug from earlier this week that caused them to automatically play, but it has been fixed. (Note there may have been some exceptions where gif cover images autoplayed, but we’re trying to normalize how covers are rendered everywhere)
Do you remember them automatically playing somewhere previously?

That’s caused by the bug I mentioned. Those pages have the wrong image in the cache should be reset within a few days.
Glad to hear it should be fixed soon- Will be keeping tabs on it! Here is my report regardless:
All GIFs on all of my pages do not work, although screenshots do play if you click on them. This is a pretty big deal for me, because I've found that people are lots more likely to buy my assets if they can see them in motion. (For example, effect animations.)
Some affected pages (banners + screenshots):

- https://untiedgames.itch.io/super-pixel-projectiles-pack-3

Also- Before coming here and finding this thread I also checked the subreddit for any news on itch.io GIFs, and found this post reporting a bug with image uploading which may be relevant to what you guys are working on: https://old.reddit.com/r/itchio/comments/1o0fxok/my_profile_picture_randomly_reverted_colors/
