Creating a playable build

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint

Hi
I am following these steps https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-us/Engine/Deployment/Releasing
and while it creates an executable that I can play on my PC it doesn’t work when I try to give the .exe to a friend.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance

You have to package the build, and then give your friend ALL the files that came with the package, not just the .exe- other than that I have no idea, I’m a noob to UE4, I just know giving them the entire file worked for me! lol

Hi, go to Edit > Project Settings >

-Maps & Modes (set the main menu map)
-Packaging (set it to be Shipping and For Distribution and Include Prerequisites Installer)

Then go to File > Package Project > Windows > 64-bit
