Files keep disappearing from my A2 and A2OA install

[Obsolescence 129]

So I've noticed that periodically I'll get the message when I join the servers saying something like a weapon.cfg or .dat file is missing, and when this occurs I get all kinds of crazy artifacting and gfx glitches around weapon caches (NWAFB and Stary). Then I go and verify files in steam. Steam will find 1 file missing and replace it. Sure enough, after a bit this same file goes missing again.

Does anyone know why files keep dropping out of my install or what I can do to prevent it. This is driving me a bit mad atm.

It will keep failing to verify 1 file every time, even if you verify 30 secs after the last verify. Other steam games does this too. Not a biggie.

The artifacting is issue you can remedy by setting one of your settings to low, can be bother to find out which one...there have been other threads on it. Find some place where the artifacting occurs and fiddle with settings, until it disappears.

If that doesn't help, then your computer is simply overheating and you need to lower settings anyways and let it cool off.
