How to change thumbnail?
I've got a level I want to publish but the thumnail is just the one that comes when you first publish the level. I have one made that I want to use, and I uploaded it, but it just stays as the screenshot and the thumbnail reamins unchanged. Any help would be appreciated!

1. Navigate to USERNAME\Documents\My Games\HotlineMiami2\Levels\single

2. Find the level you want to have a custom thumbnail for

3. Delete the file "screen.png" within the level folder

4. Replace the "screen.png" file with the thumbnail you want

NOTE: The thumbnail HAS to have the dimensions 1440x768, have the name "screen" and be a PNG file, otherwise the thumbnail WILL NOT WORK

5. Make the new "screen.png" read only (right click > properties > Read-only)

6. Update your map while in the editor

7. Done

This doesn't work. I did everything like you said but still not changing my current thumbnail with new one. It's more than 1 MB tho maybe that's why?
This doesn't work for me, either. And since I did it, my campaign won't publish again. Not sure if it's related, but when I updated this I also added a new version of a level. Can't seem to publish at all, but I feel like this somehow caused the problem.
