    That are 2 different Things. ;)
    The Fix is this:
    • "Fixed: Missing error prompt when textures are missing from content"
    But your Error Messages list the missing Content itself.

    It's not so much a GEM_Talent file as it is only one file, but all the missing files are 'virtual cmp' related (for what that means). That's why I posted a screenshot. Hopefully the devs can make something out of it. Like I mentioned before, the error message occurred since the previous build. Two builds ago it wasn't there and I never changed anything.

    No content is missing. All is installed and working properly. That's why I don't understand why I get this message all the time.

    When you checked if you were subscribed to the item I linked, were you logged into steam in the browser? Otherwise it might not show if you are subscribed or not.

    I've checked the subscribtions list while I was logged in, but the item you've mentioned is not in that list.
    Why should I subscribe to that mod when I own all the official content? It's not logic and the league I'm driving is using official content as much as they can, so at least we can rule that one out.

    People have varying reasons to subscribe to mods like that, just for the cool skins or because its needed for a league. These kind of mods are an update on official content, so it uses the cars from official content and adds skins/liveries to it. Basically every league I know uses a system like this, to add their own liveries to official content.
    The reason we are asking all these ( yes annoying but with the right intentions:p) questions is that its a very common issue people have, 99 out of 100 times its the issue causing those errors.
    Weird its showing these errors if you're not even subscribed to it, not sure whats causing it then. Normally the errors start showing up when the official cars get updated, and the skins/league mods do not. So the game tries to install the skins onto an old version of an official car which is no longer installed.

    @Marc Brink The Error Messages that your Screenshot shows, is normally caused by a virtual Mod (vMod), that, for Example, gets downloaded when you join a Server.
    And the listed Components are linked in that vMod.
    And when, as @Kevin van Dooren has said already, the Components, that this vMod uses, have been updated, they can not be loaded by the vMod anymore.
    So you have to uninstall (and delete, because it's useless, if the Content doesn't exist anymore) that vMod, to get rid of that Error Message.

    Maybe a more helpful garbage management would help a lot of user, everytime you try to enter into a server some junk is stored in the HD, just to maybe create issue months later.

    @redapg:
    I don't have that vmod installed anymore. Normally when a race is done I uninstall and delete it. For the next race a new vmod is being created by the league I'm driving, so I dont need the previous one anymore. Maybe the cars/track being used are somehow stored into the memory banks which causes the error as some sort of leftover.

    If nothing has changed, you get these kind of Errors only, if a vMod references to not existing Content.
    At least as far as i know.

    Yes and as posted in the Wishlist a few Times already, we really need the Option to decline or agree to Downloads from a Server.
    And a List with the Things that shall be downloaded would be necessary too.
    Now, if it runs really bad, you get a lot of Files that you really don't want to have and the only Way to interrupt it, is to shut down rFactor.
    That has to be improved SOON.

    @Paul Jeffrey does this release have screenshots working again?
    I don't get them at all, not in my RF2 folder, (or the folder I setup through steam) or on my steam account.
    I'm a league admin and screenshots are a must have tool.

    Heya SS,
    I use the default F12 for steam generated screenshots and F11 for ingame screenies, Steam ignores the folder I have told it to save to and saves them in ...\Steam\userdata\33201561\760\remote\365960\screenshots, F11 only works for me once I'm driving, does not work in any of the previous screens (setup screens etc), and they save to the ...\Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\UserData\ScreenShots folder.

    Thanks Goanna, but no screenies there either...
    ...\Steam\userdata\158652282\7\remote\, is as far as mine goes,
    ...\Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\UserData\ScreenShots, is empty.

    Nothing in my "online library" either

    You may have gone into 7 instead of 760. I have both, rFactor is only under 760.

    You must have steam overlay be activated to take in game screenshots in rF2. Maybe thats the issue?
