Engine error when playing maps with l4d1 survivors
Hello! I started having issues when playing maps with l4d1. At first i thought one of the mods i had was at fault for the crashes at the end of the first level of any map i played with l4d1 survivors. So i removed them all and tried adding them back 1 by 1. And i started with the Admin System. Problem is that this is mod is a must for me and i can't play without it. But with it, i can't play any map with l4d1 survivors since it always crashes to desktop at the end of the level by giving me an engine error related to failing to precache models. Strangely enough the error says that it failed to precache a model related to a l4d2 character such as gambler/mechanic/producer etc.. So i'm out of ideas. Without this mod i don't get the crashes. Only when this mod is active. At the moment i only have this mod active and with it i can't maps with l4d1 survivors but without it it seems to work fine. Since before i started having this issue with the prechaching i had more mods active. So chances are good that if i add back the mods i used to use i may get the same error, but for now i'm certain this mod is at fault for this since it's the only one i have active and i don't get any crashes without it. Without any other mods installed that is.
If anyone could help me get to the bottom of this i'd greatly appreciate it.

Try to check your game cache. If you don't know how, here are some steps:
Verify Integrity of Game Files

There you delete ALL the mods you have and if you have any Sourcemod plugins remove them from the game folder. And leaving only the Admin System.

If that method did not work for you. The best thing to do would be to uninstall and reinstall the game again to restore the missing files. If you have a good internet connection, it shouldn't take you more than 2 hours or so.

Reinstalling the game did nothing good as it turned out. It only messed up my game even more by having all survivors and commons have black and pink texture. Verifying intergrity of game files apparently fails everytime. I always have at least one up to two files that fail validation and need to be redownloaded but it doesn't fix anything really. God, i hate this piece of ♥♥♥♥ update. Everything used to run so smooth only for these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to impose their mess onto us. A diamond stained by some dumbasses imbecility. Disgraceful.
