Have you guys ever opened this file to see all of the missing files that don't exist but are still being called upon in the game? Just running the patcher this morning, I received: [Wed Aug 17 09:22:02 2022]00013:Could not open file: RealEstateItemGroups.txt [Wed Aug 17 09:22:02 2022]00014:Could not open file: RealEstateCosts.txt [Wed Aug 17 09:22:02 2022]00015:Loaded RealEstateCosts.txt, 0 cost elements loaded.

Do tester devs ever look into this?
More errors. Game developers and not forum interlopers, is there any concern about all of this? Does this cause slower load times, or eventual crashing circumstances because things are not loading properly?

A lot of this seems like artwork load failures, so I am wondering if the files not loading (and my files are perfectly patched) if this causes zoning delays, and so on.
