Missing Blood Splash Texture

[Mami]

Whenever an NPC is shot, the missing texture appears:

when I look in the console, it's spamming this:

 materials decal/bloodsplashmodel has bad reference count 0 when being bound 

BEFORE ANYONE ASKS: I did verify the integrity of game cache twice, tried mat_specular 0, tried installing an uninstalling a new blood texture pack and none of those didn't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fix it.

Same error over here. I don't know whats causing it, tried installing new blood packs and the error persists.

When did this start happening to your game?

HDN_Stalkyard and HDN_Executive noded both break blood textures, found that out via description, unsubscribe and you should be good to go.

To find broken blood textures, type in the following in console and it will tell you which GMA is loading them:
whereis materials/decals/blood1.vmt
whereis materials/decals/blood2.vmt
whereis materials/decals/blood3.vmt
whereis materials/decals/blood4.vmt
whereis materials/decals/blood5.vmt
whereis materials/decals/blood6.vmt
whereis materials/decals/blood7.vmt
whereis materials/decals/blood8.vmt

If your blood textures are loading from a different addon but aren't broken, usually this means its either a blood decal replacement pack, or the addon just happens to have blood decals of its own in it, usually to no effect.

My problem got solved by uninstalling/deactivating all “Hidden Source“.
