I want to point out that the Ohio flag has been a broken image for a while now. I hope that this situation is resolved soon because it is very upsetting. Thanks.
The title of this post sounds like a conspiracy theory lol.
The Ohio flag, and a few others have been broken since the last src update. It's been reported several times so I'm sure elo is aware of the bug, but they haven't fixed it yet for whatever reason.
ELO probably despises Ohio and Baden-Württemberg. Don’t ask me why.
Might be helpful if we can get a full list of broken flags if it’s not just Ohio and Baden-Württemberg.
Bavaria doesn't have a flag. @survivalMichi has mentioned that a time or two.
They probably should rework how they load/store flags. Instead of loading like a hundred individual images (when opening a large board) that are cached for only 24 hours, they could put all the flags on a single sprite and cache that for a month.
There are a bunch more that are broken, I don't remember which ones off the top of my head. I believe Elo is aware of the issue.
