I'd guess, as mentioned above, that it's been corrupted. Maybe the file didn't steg properly. Maybe it has something to do with how the original file was sent to us - on their pc it uncamo's fine but once sent, perhaps its compressed in some way and that's what causes the steg to be destroyed. You generally don't see stegged images with intact EXIF data and this one has a full EXIF header - maybe the email program the original sender is using to send the file forces EXIF data into the image? or recreates it somehow, compresses it for size, etc.

There's a million reasons I can think of that it would work on their pc but not our pc's. The only real thing to do is ask the original sender to zip the image, send the zip and pray it works. If its zipped, there should be no local compression to the image, instead the whole thing will be compressed inside the zip file...

I can hear crickets already so I'll shut up.

I've been working on that image since I got it, and I've got NOTHING in the way of a lead. This is getting frustrating.

This isn't going anywhere.

Punchline

I got it open. This game is starting to get on my nerves. Half the sent copies didn't contain a proper steg, and it's just sloppy after the first few weeks of well planned puzzles. My copy, thankfully, could be destegged no problem, especially since we're all "idiots" and had that password (which everyone WITHOUT working copies tried to no avail) "handed" to us.

Here's a zip with everything the stegged file contained.

Sorry to sound bitter, kids, but since the PMs have already admitted in game that they are "watching us", I'd like to inform them that before they go SLIGHTLY ooc to tell us that we're idiots, they should make sure all their files work properly. I was greatly enjoying this game all month, and then the last week or so has left a bad taste in my mouth.
