Stage is when the build tools packages the built game to a staging directory for delivery.
Archive is when it copies the staged build to another directory. Optional.

Most people are doing one extra stage of needlessly copying the whole game to another folder. You'll effectively have 4 versions/copies of the game files:

• Original assets.
• Packaged assets in Saved folder.
• Staged assets in Stage folder.
• Archived assets in Archive folder. <-- Optional and should be removed if you don't need an extra copy of the game.

This can be fixed by changing the build command part
-stage -archive -archivedirectory="Output Directory"
to
-stage -stagingdirectory="Output Directory"
