You should still use Hammer's compiler when you cordon to test something quickly, though. VBCT is something I (and I think most people) use for compiling a release.

I avoid VBCT because it's inconvenient. I use the in hammer compiler only.

Yeah, use Hammer directly only for small cordoned work, VBCT for everything else.

It seems odd they wouldn't "properly" multithread it, though.


Nevermind, after shutting down Steam and VBCT, then restarting them, everythings working properly.

Yeah, a lot of that stuff is flaky, especially when Steam is updating itself or games. A lot of "bugs" filed for PackBSP boil down to: "Your SDK is broken. Restart and blame Valve instead."
