Sometimes when attempting to enter a server I get kicked during the load to the main menu of ns2 with the alert saying something about the game cache.
This is a something that appears quite often unfortunately when i attempt to enter a NS2 server. The only solution appears to be to go to the steam library and manually verify the game Cache.
Is there a permanent solution to this problem

There are two possibilities. 1) someone is messing with your files. 2) something is horribly wrong with your file cabinet.
The concerning thing about #2 is that the rest of your files could be shredded at any time. You should likely run SMART tests on your hard drive and make sure bad times are not happening. So you start there and make sure things aren't broken. If they aren't, you next have to find out who is moving your files around. That is a bit harder.

I did not understand you. But @Confused aparently did.
Note that both virusses and antivirus programs can misbehave and ruin files also.
Id go check the drive itself first tbh.
It's a reddit thing. Explain like I'm five. Indicates that your confused and it wasn't the original person's fault. Anyways thank you!
Thank You too! I will try what darkling suggested and then I will run a smart test. I will get back to you guys later on that.
Post your results here
EDIT: Run a surface test
