Resending image in embed doesn't work on production, but works on dev

Hello, I have an function, that will resend any picture from a channel to another but in embed Workflow is Channel A gets a message with picture -> picture gets broken down to a base64 stream -> saved to a sequelize database as a Sequelize.TEXT data type-> Loaded using fs to create the image into local directory -> Loaded using attachmentBuilder and then used in setImage() -> Then Bot sends that embed into a channel B This all works on my computer when testing, but when deployed on production env, the images are broken and not working as it seems as seen in picture

• What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version? • Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part! • Show your code! • Explain what exactly your issue is. • Not a discord.js issue? Check out #useful-servers.

This is what happens on production when I open the image

This is while on local machine

I need to work with those images in outside of this scope. It's also an archiver and we've ran into issues where discord cdn deletes files after a while, when the original message is deleted -> hence defeating the purpose of archiving Also it's fixed, if anyone stumbles upon a similiar issue, good luck, it's hell. In summary the issue was caused either by something weird, or these issues: - fs acts different on linux than windows - It didnt process the image correctly in the stream (Happens even now, but I made a reprocessing function as a workaround) I ended up compressing the images to 70% quality (Which I should've done at the start lol) It works okayish now, which is acceptable for me Nope, permissions were fine, it saved/deleted images as expected. File existed, and existed in time for it to get processed Thank you for providing solutions, i'll close this post since it's fixed
