Based on that snippet of error message it appears that you need to reduce the size of the image file 'ballast.tga'. If you provide the whole error message it might be possible to be more specific. What was the result when you right-clicked the error message and followed the link to the error help page?

I’m not sure there was only one error message when I clicked view errors and warnings. I’ll post the entire error message in a few minutes or so

The error message is Source image texture file 'ballast.tga' is too large for 'arc:fld:$(local)/hash-94||kuid 60723 100045.tzarc|' (512x512)

Reduce the size of the image to 256x256.

Generally speaking, this message probably means that you're referencing a "*.tga" file directly rather than through a *.texture.txt file. This may be because you're working with an old asset version or may be for some other reason. We generally don't allow this in newer format assets but there are some exceptions. Performance suffers when this approach is used, so in cases where it's allowed we typically alert you when the file is also large.

Reduce the size of the image to 256x256.

The result said the page was no longer in use

I've put it to 256 and it when I use it, it seems to make this funny chess board look but the texture still shows in game
