missing files - do I need a clean install?

[prccowboy]

While trying to fix a very old problem on my install, I discovered a lot of missing files in my log.

 

Anyway, the problem I was trying to fix was that JTAC never specifically requests CBU-105's from me. Instead he will ask for "bombs" in the dialog (but there is no sound), so I did find that there appears to be a missing .wav file (I suppose I could plug in the .wav from the player sounds), but the bigger question is that I seem to have a lot of other missing files/textures in my log. Do I need a clean install? or is this "normal?" I have always run a clean/repair after each update but the repair finds no problems.

 

Here is an example of the log errors (grouped by type):

(this last one is what I was originally looking for. but it doesn't explain why JTAC asks for "bombs" not "CBU-105's")

For what its worth I'm seeing these errors and many more in my log. Errors can pop up for other reasons such as things devs are working on or maybe just temporarily disabled for some reason. Clean up and Repair ensures thet everything that needs to be there is and nothing extra so it should be fine.

so it should be fine.

 

thanks, that saves me a huge download on a metered connection... I guess I will just plug in a different .wav for the JTAC "bombs" sound and call it good for now.
