Getting a lot of "Error: Couldn't Open file*" in the console, is this normal?

This also seems to be posted in the console when my framerate dips. That is probably just because I have a 560 ti.

    Figured I should post an example of it.

    I would love to know as well as I'm trying to get to the bottom of little micro-pauses in the game :)
    Not sure if this couldn't open file '' is the cause of it...

    Apart from the strange '' null file, I notice NS2.exe trying to open up lots of 'missing' files.
    ie: will search for the in-game menu through lots of mod folders before finding the one that exists (default), causing a long pause before the menu appears. Once found it does not have this issue again. (GUIManager.lua, GUI####.lua)

    When using the taunt for the first time after starting the game ns2.exe does the same thing and searches for audio files (common.fsb, etc.) within all sorts of folders, such as user\appdata\roaming\nat sel 2\ns2\seasonal\holiday or AppData\Roaming\Natural Selection 2\Workshop\etc...

    These instances do not show 'missing' files within the logs, but in apps like procmon, etc.

    Who knows if I'm just a crazy person who thinks that they know what they are talking about... I don't even know most of the time... I just know that there are these strange pauses and couldn't open file '' in my logs :)

    Well, back to hijacking other peoples threads.
