It seems like at random during play it will get this error:

Model models/player/items/spy/veteran_hat.mdl not found and models/error.mdl couldn't be loaded

After I click OK, the game crashes along with the Steam client.

Here are my specs, just in case it means anything:
OS/Distro: Ubuntu Linux 12.04 64-bit (Kernel Version: 3.5.0-25-generic)
Desktop Environment: Unity 2D
Motherboard: ASRock Z68 Pro3-M
Processor: Intel Core i7-2600 @ 3.8GHz (Hyperthreading Enabled)
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 (1GB VRAM)
Memory: 16GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM
Hard Drive: 500GB Samsung SSD

This has happened both in the Nvidia 310.32 driver and when I upgraded to 313.18.

Recently I got the same error. Just before it happening game gets really slow, and then the error. It happened couple of times but I can't find a pattern as when it happens.

Over a long period of online play and using the microphone to voicechat on tf2 the game will stutter and crash. after a struggle to regain control of the desktop via use of ctrl+alt+F7 or ctrl+alt+cursor-arrows a dialog box will appear saying "Model models/player/items/spy/veteran_hat.mdl not found and models/error.mdl" but veteran_hat.mdl can be replaced with any other hat.mdl. The game always stutters at some point when the voice chat is used. I believe there has been a couple instances where the game starts to stutter or slow down and i go back to my desktop to discover that the steam client itself has crashed. trying to play tf2 will eventually crash within minutes

in other words voice chat on tf2 is unstable and crashes the steam client.

Here is my terminal output
