Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 - The Modding Dungeon Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Modding Troubleshooting Divinity Engine failing to load

Every time I load any project in the engine it gives me the same "material file with id [9169b076-6e8d-44a4-bb52-95eedf9eab63] from source [C:/.../Divinity Original Sin 2/Public/Game/Assets/Materials/UI/Base.lsb] failed to load".

I have the engine data DLC downloaded and validated game files (steam) and even reinstalled the divinity engine.

A couple things:
The GameDataPath reverts to the main "Divinity Original Sin" file and not the /Data/ folder for some reason, but it doesn't seem to matter if I try to load from there or manually set it to include /Data/ every time.

Secondly, when I look in the /Public/ folder it's completely empty, but I'm pretty sure that whatever it's looking for is in a compressed file somewhere.

So i'm at a loss for what to do, please help. :(

So I was getting the same error and i decided to go to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Divinity Original Sin 2 and remove the Divinity Original Sin 2 folder from Read only and that seemed to do the trick. Hope that helps!
