In the log file it states that It cannot open Lerk and Onos model files, This happens from time to time also. Also remember it happening to marines once. I just delete the file and 'check local file integrity' and re download the file and on my way. If I don't delete the problematic file the file checker dose not pick it up.

Server says it fails the check, use checker and says everything is OK?

'Fresh Install'

    If you haven't already fixed this (unclear from reading your post?) you can always manually delete everything just in case, then verify integrity again. Its painful, though, i know.

    I'd look into a hard drive or ram related issue though if your files are corrupting frequently. Another user on these forums, @ghosthree3 experienced something recent in the past weeks with faulty ram and he had similar symptoms.

    Hmm, Thank for the reply. No, not fixed, continues to be a headache!

    I have been deleting and re downloading them as they fail, as you said its a pain the back side..

    My windows has been bsod lately and have been wondering about my ram. I had no idea that it could corrupt these files, let alone steam not being able to see that. I will talk to the pc shop tomorrow and see what can be done.

    Regards

    Can someone humor me and try and find light_flicker_01 Because I cannot for the life of me find it either through a manual search or using windows search function, I've set my folder to show hidden files just in case it was playing hide and seek with me.

    I tried but cant find that file. Found these 'flicker' files:

    flicker.dds: Steam\steamapps\common\Natural Selection 2\ns2\models
    fire_light_flicker.cinematic: Steam\steamapps\common\Natural Selection 2\ns2\cinematics\environment
    spotlight_white_flicker_downfacing.cinematic: Steam\steamapps\common\Natural Selection 2\ns2\cinematics\environment

    Goodluck!

    I'm unsure maybe it was originally part of a build but got taken out of the client side and not the server side? Or it could just be me, because if things go wrong it's usually by close proximity to me!

    Got a swap of ram under warranty and so far things are going good, I have not had a bsod nor game files currupting. In the name of science and data collection I will wait a week before putting this as solved :)
