Hi, I tried running an exported project. In the editor it was working fine, same with exporting, it created an exe file and a pck file as expected. However, the exe file is 0 KB and when I try to run it, I get a “this app can’t run on your pc” message, despite that it worked fine in the editor. I tried exporting a test project that had only one empty node (Node2d) and still got the same message. When I tried to embed the pck file I got a “executable file header is corrupted” by the engine. Any ideas?

I have the exact same situation but my project is a total of 53 MB so the size can’t be the problem. However I get the exact same situation being either an error message when exporting with “embed pck” enabled or an exported but empty .exe file that can’t run and a separate pck file. Any ideas?

There is an issue if your game files are too large (around 2.1 Gb) which causes this error. If this is the problem you are facing I am afraid the only answer I know of would be splitting the project out into various .pck files to attach to the main game.

I had this issue, and the solution I found was to export with debug enabled. That was the only way it’d work for me, my game was definitely not 2 GB in size.
