Additional context So far have not noticed any other bugs. Single player and multiplayer appears to launch successfully.
As for why one would do this: keeping source ports and game data separate and/or if Steam updates or overwrites files.
Hi, the issue here is that it expects to find it's own asset files either in fs_basepath or in fs_savepath. Since the port is not in any of those paths it can't find it's own assets. If you want to keep the game clean I would recommend to all the base_* folders on the save folder
