Hammer fails to copy compiled map to game directory

[jkinz3]

Describe the bug

User is unable to use compiled maps due to hammer failing to copy compiled map to game directory. The map compiles and outputs the VPK file but hammer throws an error when it tries to copy it to the game directory.

To Reproduce

Steps to repro (100% repro rate):

1. Load s&box and create a new project.
2. Create and save map and open in hammer.
3. Place a mesh and a player start and try to compile

Expected behavior

The VPK file should be copied to the game directory properly without error so it can be loaded into a scene.

Media/Files

Here is the compile command

G:\Steam\steamapps\common\sbox\bin\win64\resourcecompiler.exe -fshallow -maxtextureres 256 -dxlevel 110 -quiet -html -unbufferedio -noassert -i "i:/s&box/johnbox/maps/map01.vmap"  -world -nosettle -nolightmaps -searchpaths "I:\s&box\JohnBox\;G:\Steam\steamapps\common\sbox\addons\citizen\;G:\Steam\steamapps\common\sbox\addons\base\;G:\Steam\steamapps\common\sbox\core\;G:\Steam\steamapps\common\sbox\.source2\cloud\;G:\Steam\steamapps\common\sbox\.source2\temp\"  -outroot "G:\Steam\steamapps\common\sbox\.source2\mapbuild-output"

And here is the log from the compile

Additional context

I looked at the location where hammer is looking for the VPK file and there is no VPK file there. Instead, I found that hammer spits the VPK file to another path. In the compile that produced the log above, it spit the file into sbox\core\path0\maps It appears that some part of the compile process thinks i'm working on core, however I don't want to try to guess the solution too much.

4597 - should be fixed now, if not leave a comment there

@handsomematt How much time does it take for a fix to propagate through steam?

It's live, sometimes you have to restart Steam for it to see the update

Not working for me, it's back to not compiling at all it seems.

Getting the following:

[handsomematt]

thanks that pinned it down, there will be a new build in 10 mins that should work now

[osmanlodzero]

Yep that works, it compiles now and also copies correctly. My map instance component does not show it until I play the game, but perhaps that's a separate issue from this.

Thanks!
