Spray Import Error
I am trying to import sprays on css, but end up with this error message every time: https://i.imgur.com/jL38Wur.png

In console the error message is: "WARN_FILEWRITE - Asked to write to '<file location>', but we don't own that location. Disallowing."

The filetypes for various sprays I have attempted to import are .jpg and .bmp in 376x376 as well some other sizes, and all around that size.

I tried to google search for other with this same error message without success. Please let me know if you have suggestions, or know how I can contact some sort of customer support for css, if there even is any.

Make sure your game language is set to English (after that you can switch it back to yours) then use a 512x512 TGA or PNG file type - if it's still not working try to run Steam as administrator. Let me know how it worked out, because there's another, more advanced method in case it still doesn't work.

My game language was already in English, but after running Steam as administrator and creating a 512x512 TGA image it worked. I then tried a TGA image smaller than 512x512, which also worked. Thanks, you made me very happy now :)

Glad to hear that and probably you don't need to run Steam with admin rights, it was just the last-resort-solution in case nothing else worked.
