Pure mismatch after "I only deleted some old pk3s"

Error on connect. Fresh-ish install. I thought I cleaned etmain. Help and I will leave the fix for others.

Partial deletes are the usual villain. Delete every Frostbite version, then re-copy from Downloads only. Match the hash on the file page.

Full client quit after. Not alt-tab. Not "I closed the window". Fully quit.

I did the same thing last month. Thought I was clever keeping a backup in etmain. Pure laughed at me.

Linux: watch case sensitivity. Windows forgives FrostBite.pk3 vs frostbite.pk3. Linux does not.

Deleted everything with frost in the name, re-copied, full restart. Connected. Leaving this for the next person who "only deleted some".

Linking this in trial DMs. This exact story happens every week.

Also do not mix packs from random 2009 mirrors. Downloads is source of truth here.
