I have been using the Plugin for awhile now and it is great and has been working brilliantly, and all skins would show up with no issues

However after working for awhile today only some skins will load. Sometimes it's different ones that will / wont load depending on reconnection / server restart

I understand all this plugin does is send the workshop id to the client, however after searching this issue up I can't find any definitive answers as to what these errors really mean, or what to do to resolve them

I am now getting some errors in client console, saying Invalid Skin Manifest:<path>

and Skinnable Is Nul:<id>

What do these errors actually mean? Does this mean I have a bad skin that is causing an issue? All the skins mentioned that have an invalid skin manifest do not work and have the blue loading arrows, although they previously did hours/days before. I was using a rock skin after I first noticed this issue, I was able to use a specific one then after reconnecting to the server, this specific skin gives the manifest issue in console, even though it was working within the hour of this issue. Have they possibly been updated on workshop and no longer compatible?

I have tried clearning my own workshop folder and the steam workshop manifest file etc so that the items redownload however this has not resolved the issue, this made the issue worse. After deleting the workshop files from my PC, many would not re-download when I reconnected, meaning I could see even less than to begin with. I restored them from bin and more skins came back with less errors of missing manifest, however the issue persists and randomly certian skins decide their manifest cannot download

Changing the download timeout doesn't resolve this

Am I driving myself mad trying to fix this, or is this possibly a temporary steam server side issue? Or would it be more likely to be a client based issue? I would rather know to try and addresses this before my server goes live

Any help appreciated
Big thanks to the plugin creator - brilliant work

Update : Using verify integrity of game files forced all workshop content to redownload (2.4gb worth for me), however the problem persists with missing manifest. The manifests are indeed missing in the skins folder within workshop content however all other files are present. It seems that steam is just not sending them for download. I have looked into it more and this is not happening randomly as I thought, its consistently happening to specific skins. However again these skins which manifest won't download for, were working absolutely fine yesterday with no console issues, no issues downloading and no blue circles

I'm fairly confident the issue is the missing manifest files, the main question is why are they now missing / not downloading when previously there was no issue? 

Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated

Did you manage to solve this?
