Kind of annoying that they fixed this in their usual heavy-handed manner, it's fun to play with modified weapons offline. Necessary, I guess.

I figured out my issue: I had the items_game.txt file in my scripts folder as well as my custom folder, but the Steam error only mentioned deleting the file in my scripts folder while deleting both files was needed.

It might be your specific shadow settings, try these (from Chris' cfg):

// Enable shadows
mat_shadowstate 1
r_shadowmaxrendered 11
r_shadowrendertotexture 1 // Non-blobby shadows.
r_shadows 1

So wait, are the items_game.txt exploits fixed or not?

This guy on reddit claims it's still possible, but he won't say how he's doing it.
