The error

ChatGPT said:

For this build error, the important clue is FileNotFoundError while creating a .part file. Hookshot's extractor is trying to write a file, but Windows/Python cannot find or create the destination path. This looks more like an extraction-path or directory-creation issue than a compiler problem.

My first suspect is the very long folder and filename combination. Your game is nested several folders deep, and the failing asset also has a long name.

I checked the exact path length:
- Full failing path: 262 characters
- Traditional Windows MAX_PATH limit: 260 characters
That makes a Windows path-length limitation a very strong suspect. Some applications support longer paths, but not every executable or library in a toolchain does.

After changing folders to short names or single letter names it works..

my error is:

I'm on the newest release, or it still fails on it.
