You might need to reboot after installing the update. Try that and let us know if it works.

Application version: paint.net 4.2

System.FormatException: The DDS file is invalid.

why the program search in this 

in PaintDotNet.FileType.Load (input stream) in D: \ src \ pd \ s Data \ FileType.cs: riga 481 
   in PaintDotNet.Functional.Func.Eval [T1, TRet] (Func`2 f, T1 arg1) in D: \ src \ pdn \ src \ Base \ Functional \

This tells Rick where in the source code the error occurred.

Questo dice a Rick dove si è verificato l'errore nel codice sorgente.

aah  ok,, 

[ninowebs]

how can i solve

?

Could you upload one of the DDS files?

 

I am wondering if the files are a different format with a DDS file extension.

[ninowebs]

ok,,

eye_normal.zip

[Rick Brewster]

That isn't a DDS image. I have no idea what it is. DDS images are supposed to start with "DDS ".

 

[BoltBait]

The plugin "What's it?" couldn't identify it either and it knows about 50 of the most popular formats.

[ninowebs]

these are images, of the konami game for xbox

[Rick Brewster]

Well they're not DDS images, and that's a fact.

I checked this list - no matches there either.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_signatures

 

I suspect this is a proprietary format Konami has developed and stuck the DDS extension on.

My guess is that the file has been extracted from a Konami game archive, and that the extractor wrote the file to disk using its original name without decoding the proprietary format the archive file entries use.

Googling "WESYS" game archive comes up with a bunch of hits for Konami games, including several descriptions of the format.

 

The "WESYS" file entry format appears to consist of a 16 byte header followed by the zlib-compressed file data.

 

[ninowebs]

this is the format

DXT5         ARGB   8 bpp | interpolated alpha
