Computer freezes when packaging game

After having trouble with getting my game to package eventually it looked like I was getting somewhere except I ran into a problem. Whenever my game is packaging it freezes the whole computer after an hour. I also tried packaging it on a friends computer but it also crashed on hers. I don’t know if it’s because my game is over 20GB, my driver, my graphics card needs updating or simply my computer not being able to handle it. I haven’t any screenshots of the log when it freezes so if you need me to obtain those I will. I’ve seen a few suggestions saying to migrate everything to another project so would that be a possible option I show follow?

Any help would be great, thanks.

Hello ,

I have a few questions for you that will help narrow down what issue it is that you are experiencing.

Quick questions:

  1. What platform are you packaging for?
  2. Can you package a blank project?
  3. If you watch the output log when packaging, is the project actually freezing up or is just taking a long time?
  4. Are you using a source build?
  5. Is this a code project?
  6. Are you nativizing any blueprints?
  7. Could you provide your dxdiag?
  8. Could you provide your logs?

I am packaging for PC, yes I can package a blank project. It freezes my WHOLE computer, so I don’t know what’s stopping it. It’s a project using blueprints.

Yeah so I tried packaging again and it froze the whole computer after only 15 minutes. I couldn’t even take a screenshot of the log. I’m not finding any other solutions so I’m just going to have too migrate everything to a new project.

I migrated all the levels to a new project and it packaged! :slight_smile:
