it has worked perfectly fine before recently

Ahha!   What did you change on your machine before this started to happen?

You are missing huge chunks of files from your install.  This is not a Squad issue, there is something on your machine messing up your install.    There is some 3rd party app playing around where it shouldn't.

Yes, fresh install

Did you download a whole new ~800mb file, or install from the cache?

If you watched it download for like 20 minutes or so (My ISP takes about 3 hours to do that, when it's not cloudy), then I'd assume you got a fresh file.

Well, if I did somehow download from a cache, I'd like to be safe and figure out how to download fresh

I believe it's somewhere in the Steam settings, or in a folder under steam. 

But you are much better off trying to figure out what deleted the files initially.   We can keep reinstalling this till the cows come home, but if it worked before, and then magically stopped, something deleted those files.
