I'm working on a photo that I and have several layers to creates a certain look, but when I try to save or flatten the layers of the image I get the error message: "Could not complete your request because the selected pattern is not available"  

 

What pattern?!?! 

I am using a PS action from Graphics Garage called Urban Sketch

 

PS 2021

Windows 10

I have this problem as well with the same action. The action runs, then I encounter a variety of instability issues attempting to work with the layers. The image disappears. Or layers disappear.  I can't  use the magnifying glass.
If I try to merge layers I get the "could not complete your request because the selected pattern is not available" message.  Or Photoshop crashes. However after Photoshop recovers, the layers function fine. It's a fairly new action, 2019, but I can't reach the developer. Are there changes I can try on the Photoshop side? Thanks.

Did you load all the Patterns that the Action references?

Yes, I did, and double checked. The action itself runs through without a glitch. Photoshop de-stabilizes when I try to manipulate the layers afterward. And most strangely, if Photoshop completely crashes, the layers work fine when Photoshop recovers. (It's a very nice action, hence my persistence.) Thanks.

The one in the Pattern Overlay Layer Style maybe?
