## Troubleshooting

| Error                                                        | Solution                                                     |

| ------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ |

| `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'google'`              | Check if `protobuf` Python library is installed via `pip list`, if not, run `pip install protobuf` |

| `File "asyncio\base_events.py", line 508, in _check_closed`
`RuntimeError: Event loop is closed` | Too many images needed to download at once? 
Try grabbing some images manually from `steamgriddb.com`, and placing them in `Steam\userdata\[user id]\config\grid`
Also try running `missing_cover_downloader.py` with the `-m` argument. Start at `20` and work down (so `missing_cover_downloader.py -m 20`, then `missing_cover_downloader.py -m 15`, etc.) |

| `Cannot connect to host www.steamgriddb.com:443 ssl:default` | Your proxy settings may be preventing you from downloading images from steamgriddb.
 In Windows, go to *Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN settings*. 
 Under *Automatic configuration*, check *Automatically detect settings* 
 Under *Proxy Server* uncheck *Use a proxy server for your LAN* |
