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:
- Checked all settings on my computer.
- Installed and reinstalled the game multiple times including in other drives.
- Changed install directories during installation.
- Ran CHKDSK and checked for bad sectors.
- 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.
I have the same bug

I am experiencing a similar bug. But instead of crashing to nothing the games crashes due to out of memory issues, invalid memory access or null memory errors

Random CTD, here's the log file. Lots of missing textures.

Hello Fenrir,
Thank you for reaching out to us on the forum.
We're sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue, and we apologize for the delayed response on this thread.
Could you please let us know if you're still encountering the issue, or has it been resolved in the meantime? If the issue persists, could you confirm whether it occurred in a modded world (with active MODs) or an unmodded world (without active MODs)? If you’re using MODs or have a Plugin active in the game, these might be contributing to the issue.
To check this, please try removing the plugin (if active) and creating/starting a new vanilla/unmodded world. If the issue persists, please send us the both (SpaceEngineers_ & VRageRender-) complete log files from the time the issue occurred.
Kind Regards,
