That file is not even installed with NS. It shoudln't be needed. Have you reinstalled Steam as well?
Did you nuke your NS-directory before reinstalling?
Running in Direct3D, OpenGL or Softwaremode?
Tried different servers?

Missing bitmap font vgui/gfx/fonts 640_OverwatchScheme.tga i forgot to add that part.

as for:
Did you nuke your NS-directory before reinstalling?
Running in Direct3D, OpenGL or Softwaremode?
Tried different servers?

I nuked 2.0 for the reinstalls and i backed up 1.4 back when 2.0 first came out i run mine in OpenGL...software mode wont let me play and D3D is not set up.
I have played many servers and any server i join i recieve the same message. Even servers that i set up on lan. I havent reinstalled steam yet b/c it disappeared after i d/l it so i cannot reinstall unless i re d/l it when it did work though STEAM NS worked fine and i even lost worked but like after the 4 game on steam it said that i was missing the same file. It still worked on everymap lost included so i dont know.

Thanks for the imput,

PLZ help me anyone else as well!!!

you get the msg

and then what?

does it effect your game play in any way?

Overwatch was something that was taken out before the first public release, that is simply a bork in the code that should not effect you in any way shape or form.

As far as i can tell no but before i got that message i was able to play ns_lost 2.0 and after i installed it a couple of days after i got that msg and i couldn't play lost anmore some times i can join the rr sometimes it just leaves ns and hl all together. ONce in a while it will get packet loss or other times it says invalid server msg and drops me. I am not sure about much else but that it works on steam those are the main pobs. for when i join a server.

I cant help I am afraid <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'> I hope a release of 3.0 will fix it. The 2.01 support for Steam is spotty I think.

I was going to simply post the file in question for you but I discovered that it is not in my Half-Life install. Since you said it only happens only to NS, I would try simply re-downloading the installer. Maybe your download is corrupted somehow.

If you feel comfortable doing this I would try uninstalling HL and NS and then deleting and keys and values in your registry relating to them. (I do not know if it would work but its worth a try.)

grrrr

listen up people

this file never existed (out side of pre 1.0)

This is simply a random error msg, it dosn't do anytihng, just ignore it.
