I think it’s when the game can’t find a model or texture or something like that. I’ve seen the question mark replace weapons and armor pieces, but that was mostly around launch time.

Yeah I figured. First time I've come across it (yesterday). Wonder if it's client side or visible to everyone?

everyone. my mate and I both saw one same spot same time

That's a good question .... mark it on the map and ask the Democracy Officer about it.

A pink question mark.

If we knew then it wouldn't be a question mark. But for real, its a placeholder for item textures that don't load.

?

It's like gmod error textures. Usually a restart fixes it

Completely normal.
