Cannot export because of...game-size?

[Azou]

Hiya!!!!! Ok, I had a problem : everytime I export my gzme demo, thé .exe file doesn't work. So I Was wondering: isnt it because of tje game-size(125MB) ? I read all DST' posts about exporting problems, but I still cannot export.

Game Editor doesn't limit the size of the games.
What kind of problems is? Black screen?

[Azou]

Yes!! At the beginning, it was the "GE stopped working". I deleted unused scripts, I re-install GE, and now it's only a black screen.

The problems i had didn't seem related to filesize.

A rundown of my largest games


C2 - 54 mb - works great!
Ec - 46 mb - works, crashed sometimes(but never at the beginning). no black screen either.
Hyperion 20 mb - works great!
Target Defense - 18 mb - works, crashed for testers sometimes but never for me. Never at beginning. No black screen.
BossDestroy - 16 mb - works, crashed in specific spots. Never at the beginning. No black screen.

same for me!
the file was big and it wasnt playable when you tried to open the exe, but when i remove a bunch of actors to make the demo (which will not post to the forum ><) it works perfectly

Try to make a seperate menu engine with the game and make that be the main exe and make it load game data olny by exporting it to data olny files. Windows might not be able to handle the large data file executables because of the filesystem so try that.

Ok! I'll try!
Anyway, I spotted something: I started a new demo and I there is something astonishing: I used codes like if(code==1) and the result is whenever I export it shows me a black screen
