problem: all .png files are not found on your server
https://luminous-pithivier-c6870e.netlify.app/images/chars/Keqing.png

The files are there on the repo. Works fine locally.
Really appreciate the help!

Thanks for the quick response. I can’t seem to find a solution looking through the topic you shared.
Since all images in this folder have the same issue. I looked into this 404 support page but still couldn’t figure out what went wrong.
Pasting my deploy log here for your reference.

@Benkaz3 You’re using Vite, so you should read their Static Asset Handling Documentation.
Your issue is that you seemingly believe that Vite processes the folder structure you have and deploys it “as is”, but it doesn’t work like that.
It produces a dist folder and then you’re deploying that.
If you run your npm run build locally you will see that your entire images folder never makes it into the dist folder.
As per the Vite documentation, you should use the Public Directory for this.
E.g. Move your /images/ folder to /public/images/ in your repository, so that the Vite build moves it to /dist/images/ and it ends up as /images/ when deployed.
