i have not seen the Host_error: bad string error before, so i do not know how to fix it. sorry
![]() well, i went and looked around, and this is what i found: This rare error only happens in game/server mode when sprites, models, sounds, or text strings (but not all strings!) are initialized and precached. If the string/name for the sprite, model, sound, or miscellaneous text string either starts with a non-printable ASCII character, or is 0 length (ie: starts with a non-printable null ASCII character), then the error will occur. Solution: search thru entities like env_glow, env_sprite, ambient_generic, env_shooter, etc. - anything the engine has to precache a file for the bad name. i dont know if that makes any sense to you, but if it does, then you should consider its advice

Basically, you'll have to look through the files and read each name, maybe redo/rename the files. I would just reinstall Steam and go from there. There's a few thousand files, well 3500ish stock files, that come with steam in the materials folder. Have fun finding a few bad names in there!!

Is it installed and listed in your Steam Games list?
