Missing Texture Files in Space Engineers

Summary: Since before the Signals Update, likely around five updates prior, I have been experiencing consistent issues with missing file-related content. This started before the UI change when choosing playthrough options like Sandbox. Despite extensive troubleshooting, the problem persists.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

1. Checked all settings on my computer.
2. Installed and reinstalled the game multiple times including in other drives.
3. Changed install directories during installation.
4. Ran CHKDSK and checked for bad sectors.
5. Reviewed logs and other diagnostics.

Issue Description: Despite verifying the integrity of game files (which reports no issues), I continue to encounter missing texture files related to the game. The following log excerpt highlights the errors (see attached file for complete log).

I have manually followed the file paths for each missing texture and confirmed that the files indeed do not exist. However, the game loads and runs as expected. For instance, the conveyor door, which I assume is either the one in the DLC or the 6-way conveyor, appears as it should. Despite this, the logs indicate missing textures, which is perplexing.

Any assistance in resolving these missing texture file issues would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
