Possibly some internal scene corruption. Also try to merge your scene in
a new scene and see if that solves the issue.

It's a new scene. But some of the objects are older Model exports that have
been imported.
So for the resolved paths that's the weird thing. When I brought the models in
they were pointing to a defunct path. I edited the paths and they pointed to
the new location just fine. Rendered with the texture just fine. But then after
a while they get disconnected(go red).
They still point to the new location, I can access the location and the file just fine
through Windows explorer, but when I click on Refresh in External Files Manager they stay
red as though they are defunct and report a status of invalid. I can select one of the
files and "Browse Selected Path" the directory will open and I can see the
file. If I double-click the file it will update and make the file valid again(grey). But
if I wait a while or look at it again tomorrow, it will go invalid again at some point.
I see this problem frequently. I think I may have even commented about it on
this list before. Would be nice if I can figure out what is causing it.

Softimage remembers the last place it resolved a file name, and tries that
place when you load the scene.
it's a cache, you cannot find it in the external file list.
if all the images resolve to a new path and you save the scene, you should be
good. It's probable that if some images don't resolve it continues to try that
cached location. So fix all those path that do not resolve in the External File
List

While troubleshooting erros in a scene I stumbled across this error in
the script editor:
# INFO : 4000 - Server '\\SERVER_NAME' is unreachable. Marked as
invalid for the next 300 seconds
"SERVER_NAME" has been out of service for years. Its not even plugged
in anymore. I'm currently using a scene that contains some older
geometry that was built during a time when SERVER_NAME was in service.
Now the scene is apparently looking for the server.
I've searched for SERVER_NAME in every project in the current database
of Project Manager. Nothing found there.
I've searched for it in the External Files Manager. Nothing found there.
I've searched for it in the Render Manager. Nothing found there.
I've search for it in Explorer/Sources/Images and queried each image.
Nothing found there.
I've been unable to find it anywhere I thought to be a relevant place
to look. Any ideas on what I might be overlooking?
