Can't remember the official reason why, but it happens sometimes. Three ways to live further: a) Disable automatic skin updates and use only the default ones, b) Disable auto-updates and download your preferred skins manually or c) Enable skin auto-download and let the skins come back during gameplay.

I've got an older system by today's standards that still runs the game well by my standards.

*edit* quote from Skuzzy regarding skins listed in red...

Skins in red means there is a mismatch in the "skins.res" file.  You can only get that file from being in an online arena.  If you have the latest "skins.res" file, then it means there is a mismatch between the versions of the skins installed and what should be installed.

And backup your skins folder somewhere
