List of Missing .res files

  • Resource/commentarydialog.res
  • Resource/CommentaryExplanationDialog.res

Extracting the Files

Open either Source 2007 binaries.gcf or Source 2007 binaries 2.gcf (Doesn't matter which) then go into the hl2/resource directory and extract the files listed above. After that, move the extracted files into "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\alien swarm\swarm\resource".

The UI will show correctly after the fix.
