Skins loading slowlyNot An Issue
skin loading is too slow
can I fix it?
Contact Steam support - this is unrelated to the plugin. Most likely by getting better PC or internet.
I disagree with the pc or internet. Im running a 2070 super, 3800x cpu with 32gb at 3200 with 950gb download speeds so I really dont think its on the side of getting a better pc or internet. Running PCIe 4 with SSD and a overclocked cpu yea no lol 
It does not matter - Steam can be also slow. The ONLY thing plugin and server do is TELL THE CLIENT THE ID. The rest such as speed depends on the client (and Steam).
Why would a skin randomly stop working tho?
It's a different question, create a new thread. Maybe because it was deleted or is using an outdated version, or steam is bugged or rust or anything.

I can confirm that the error is a mixture of both the PLUG IN & Steam.

How I found this is the following.

10051Nightmare Sweater
492980527Nightmare Sweater

The same item has two codes the code endign in 0527 works if you are looking up the skin BUT it does NOT work in the plug in while the code 10051 does not work when searching it up online it DOES work in the plugin and loads correctly.

 

I say both plugin and steam because from my position I cannot see a clean cut answer as to why this is happening. 

All plugin does is set skin from config, there is no way it changes anything - it is either game either steam.

Is it due to the internet speed on the server side, I think?

Server has nothing to do with it, the only thing it does is send the ID to the client. And then client downloads it.
