I don't know what happened with the recent update, but suddenly I'm getting random MD's for no obvious reason....what is most troubling is the lack of consistency....

Sometimes I MD before even loading the game....sometimes I MD while starting a new game...sometimes I can go forever, no problems...these MDs are not due to modding (occur both with vanilla and with a mod) or loading old saves, and I have no idea what is causing them...

Additionally, when modding I'll sometimes get error messages, and sometimes not...sometimes these error messages will lead to MDs, and sometimes they won't...

I know others have stated MDs are hitting them randomly...not sure what the issue is...here are some things that are consistently showing up in my log files even if the game runs fine...

*** TextureSystem could not find file (SkinTech) within TextureSystem's working directory (Textures).

Don't know what they mean or if they are relevant, but they don't look good....
