Linux .BMP Files not supported for Splash Screen

On the Linux operating system, when trying to load a .BMP file for the splash screen, there are strange returns for the image displayed.

In Linux

1. Navigate to the Engine>Content>Splash Folder
2. Locate the file called EdSplash.BMP file
3. Open this file in gimp
4. Paint on it a bit maybe some squiggly lines
5. Export that file back into the same folder it came from with the same name and everything so it can be called.
6. Open a new UE4 project
7. Observe the blue screen over the .BMP Image
