Missing file error messages: "A3_Map_Altis" requires "A3_Structures" and game crashin

[manzilla 1]

I haven't played in a few days but today I fired up the game and I'm getting error messages about missing files. When I click OK the game opens but then another error appears then the game CTD.

The first error message I get right after pressing play is:

'A3_Map_Altis' requires addon 'A3_Structures_F'

after I hit ok the game opens but during the title screen I get this error:

preNLOD format in object a3\structures_f\walls\mound01_8m_f.p3d

then the game crashes to desktop.

Is anyone else having this problem? The game updated today and I'm wondering if that has something to do with it. I have the dev branch activated. I just tried to "verify integrity of game cache" and it says I'm having issues with 2 files and now 1.1gbs of data are DLing as I type. I'm hoping it fixes the error messages and crashing but I won't know for a bit since the DL is only at 25%.

Just want to check if others have experienced this before.

EDIT:

DL finished and everything seems to be back to normal. Not sure what was going on there but if anyone runs into this problem right click on ArmA 3 in the Steam Library then click Properties. From there select the Local Files tab then click Verify Integrity Of Game Cache.

That fixed it for me.
