Issue with "unable to load texture"

[The Fuzzician]

SOLVED:
After verifying the integrity of the files, the problem has gone away.

When I start up the game, I get this error when I go to the Tech Tree. The sprite for the Zepplin unit is gone, replaced with a red square. Now that I am researching the tech, I get this popup several times a turn, which is seriously slowing down my game.

The Errors I see are the following:
"Unable to load texture [ExpScen_UnitPortraits45.dds]" - When I access the tech tree for the first time
"Unable to load texture [ExpScen_UnitPortraits64.dds]" - When I look at the civilopedia page of Steam Power (every time)
"Unable to load texture [ExpScen_UnitPortraits256.dds]" - When looking at the civilopedia page for the Zepplin unit (every time)

Any help would be appreciated.

Running latest patch. Have a few other mods running, such as:
Faster Aircraft Animations
Improved Air Recon
R.E.D. Modpack
Wonder Race
Reforestation

I'm pretty sure R.E.D. is the culprit.
The mod is known to cause memory issues, causing icons to go black and such.

Did you try "unchecking 'Use GPU texture decode' in the video options of the game"?
If the problem still persists, disable R.E.D. or lower graphic settings to medium.

Do you have this problems without your additional mod?
Do you have this problem if you chose the no-EUI version of VP in the autoinstaller?

 

[The Fuzzician]

Tried a few things, and found the following:
Disabling all the mods (except all Vox stuff) does not help.
Unchecking "use GPU texture decode" does not help.
Lowering all graphics to medium does not help.
Reinstalling the same version (12.1.1) does not help.
Reinstalling the non-EUI version does not help.

missing some DLC?

 

[The Fuzzician]

the only DLC i don't have (looking at the Complete Edition of Civ 5 on Steam) are the Scrambled Continents Map Pack and Scambled Nations Map Pack.
I also double checked, and all 18 DLC are installed and enabled.

EDIT: went ahead and just got them (3 bucks on steam, so why not), but the issue did not go away.

The Errors I see are the following:
"Unable to load texture [ExpScen_UnitPortraits45.dds]" - When I access the tech tree for the first time
"Unable to load texture [ExpScen_UnitPortraits64.dds]" - When I look at the civilopedia page of Steam Power (every time)
"Unable to load texture [ExpScen_UnitPortraits256.dds]" - When looking at the civilopedia page for the Zepplin unit (every time)

Not sure if this means anything, but when I exit Civ 5, Steam still shows it as "running", meaning I have to manually stop Steam as a process to play it again (otherwise it gives the "already running" error). Does not happen with other games.

For the problem of Civ 5 still running, that's because of the new launcher. Just go to Task Manager and close the QTWebEngine process.

No, it can't

If you solved it, please share how with others. There may be other people experiencing the same in the future so it will be helpful if we can direct them to this thread.

More on topic of "unable to load texture" error messages, while everything expected to be intact.
Happened recently after VP installer for some reason put UI_bc1 to %programfiles%\steam\… instead of actual (altered) games library and Civ5 install location.
Just in case.

I posted the solution in the original thread. I say closed in that no further replies are needed. But if you want to keep it open, by all means. I just meant that I have no reason reply here, as I have nothing useful left to add

@The Fuzzician , oh, alright, I can see you edited the OP now, thanks.

@GiantLittleDog , yes, this is a known issue. The free installer software always puts EUI into the default folder. Sadly, this cannot be remedied (with the currently used software).
