because of a shaderbug , which i'm not able to remove (have tried to recode the shader, but failed, its too much work), i have found a dirty way to prevent this bug from appearing:
if you set in grafic/advanced/ the light settings to "low" (or set all to "low") , middle will be choosed for light.
following commands are touched:

"r_Quality_BumpMapping", 1 );
"r_Vegetation_PerpixelLight", 0 );
"e_light_maps_quality", 1 );
"ca_ambient_light_intensity", 0.2 );
"ca_ambient_light_range", 10 );
"e_max_entity_lights", 2 );
"e_stencil_shadows_only_from_strongest_light", 1 );
"p_lightrange", 10 );
"r_EnvLightCMSize", 8 );
"r_EnvLCMupdateInterval", 0.1 );
 "cl_projectile_light", 0 );
"cl_weapon_light", 0 );

btw its better to use middle or higher settings, to see sunshader.
if you really encounter performance problems, you have to find out which of those settings (look in VideoAdv.lua compared to original one
causes the no texture bug.

if you run currently the settings with light : low , you need the cleartest_send_update_1_23_11_2011.7z .

start game with it, go in menu /options/grafic/advanced , set light to middle, leave game.
the new system.cfg and game.cfg are now written, the shaders with missing texture are now working .

this trick will also work for The Delta Sector.
