I made an Icon and chose it, but the compiled game doesnt have this Icon, but the GE Icon.

What am I making wrong?

if it still doesn't work, I have no clue what to do next.

Use IcoFX to make an 32x32 icon.
That's my solution.

I have the same problem, but have not found a solution yet. I've tried 32 x 32, and 64 x 64, but the pacman icon still shows up. A small version of the icon actually shows up in the header when I start the exe, but in the folder the pacman icon shows. I didn't have this problem before, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any ideas? :(

If you still get error, use IcoFX and to change the icon, use IcoFX's resource hacker.
IcoFX:
http://icofx.ro/
Direct download:
http://icofx.ro/files/icofxsetup.exe
It can also make mac icons.

I think i have the same problem.do you have the full version of game editor? if you don't then that might be a feature missing on the demo. :|
