Some NuxtJS images break upon reload - amazon-web-services

Question

In my website I have a series of images that serve as nuxt links to game pages:
<template>
<NuxtLink :to="game.pageName">
<img :src="game.boxImage" :height="gamePanelHeight" class="elevation-4"
/></NuxtLink>
</template>
Each of those links draws its properties from a content markup file like this:
index: 3
boxImage: gameImages/box_image.png
title: game title
pageName: games/whatever
And they're loaded into the page like so:
<script>
export default {
async asyncData({ $content, params }) {
const games = await $content('games').sortBy('index', 'asc').fetch()
return { games }
},
}
</script>
Whenever I refresh this page. All of these images break until I navigate outside the page and come back. What's causing this issue and how do I fix it?
This is a static Nuxt application FYI. And it's being served through an AWS S3 bucket but I don't think that's what's causing this issue.
EDIT: Also the boxImage that's in gameImages/box_image.png is from the static folder.

Answer 1

asyncData is not a hook that is triggered upon reaching an URL or using a reload (F5), it is only triggered during navigation.
If you want it to work even after a reload, use the fetch() hook.
More info here: https://nuxtjs.org/docs/2.x/components-glossary/pages-fetch#options
Edit on how to write it with fetch()
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
games: [],
}
},
async fetch() {
this.games = await this.$content('games').sortBy('index', 'asc').fetch()
},
}
</script>
