Hi all, from the Netherlands, in the Eindhoven area. I am very new to GMS 2 (paid Windows version, downloaded to my laptop, not the Steam version, I like it a lot) and I managed to build my first project prototype.
But I encountered a problem now. This is my very first post.
My project files on disk are 50 MB (coming from 100 MB before size reduction actions), but my executable installer for Windows will not drop below 131 MB (coming from 149 MB).
This can hardly be normal...
What I did was: (1) reduce audio and graphics sizes, (2) rebuild sprites and objects, (3) many cleanups from the Build menu, (4) saved as a different project, (5) tried VM and YYC compilations, (6) reinstall the program, (7) restart Windows.
And after all these actions I encountered some more problems like the game starting with a white screen and unexpected behaviour of some of the keyboard keys.
Is it likely that the only solution is to totally rebuild the project (as is sometimes advised)?
Does anybody have experience with this?
