So, I have no idea what may have triggered this, but yesterday I was getting a large red "ERROR" on player characters, lots of objects like barrels/crates/pallets, and also on the hidden and thrown grenades.

In addition to this, lots of textures were the missing texture pattern of purple checkerboard.

I validated the files of all Source SDK tools, and it didn't fix it, so I deleted the hidden folders from my sourcemods folder and reinstalled. It fixed it for a little while, but then today when I started up the hidden, I got the same problem. So for a third time I reinstalled, and it fixed the problem for an even shorter time before it returned.

Anyone know what's going on, or if there's a fix? I'd ask the hidden forums but the last post was from 2010, so I don't think i'll get much help there. Thanks in advance.

Strange, I just restarted the game, joined a server, and the textures were fine. This hasn't worked before, maybe I'm lucky.

It wasn't finding files it expected. I actually get this in a few places with a mod based on the E3 Half-Life 2 maps.
