i edited some textures with the gimp, but now these textures dont load anymore!
even worse, it hangs...
this is the error i get:
Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x50 0x37

what is going wrong?

This means that the .jpg file starts with bytes the engine don't understand. Mayby the file format is an unsupported one? I don't know if gimp has these options, but you could try to change the settings how the jpeg is saved as.

I use GIMP for all my textures... it works fine.

Maybe its the way you export it... (I use the default options with the quality at 100% )
