Can't seem to find if valve has made a statement about the VPK / addons folder problem.
Has anybody emailed gabe or anything like that?

Maybe valve will release a second dlc that fixes the bugs, in 2013

So am I right in thinking VPK's dont work at the moment, and there is no workaround?

I just thought I would start with VPK's because I need to link maps together and having loading screens and such....

Couldnt get it to work, so I went back to basic's and tried one I knew worked before, Omnicoders 'Retrospective'.

However, no matter where I put it, I just cant get the console to able to start it...

I know I've had it working at one point, cause I've actually played it :smile:

I'd also very much like the VPK to be restored. I could use it very well for my work. But has anybody actually written an email? I guess the developers won't do anything if they don't know about the issue and I doubt they use VPKs for their own work.

/push

So that means "Noone did write an email, but everyone complains, why things aren't changing.". I will now join the P2mapper email list and write an email about the VPK and the cubemaps there. But what do you mean with gabe's email address? Should I rather send the email to him? If so, please give me his email address. Thank you.

Hi,

I've started a support ticket with them about VPKs not working.

I've had one response from them, that they are looking into it, and will get back to me.

Any news on this yet? Been dying to try out the Gary Hudston project, but I guess it's still not possible...?

Just extract the vpk and put the files in the designated folders
