Good evening, I want to create a launcher of my game to put it on a blog, following a tutorial the launcher is still 1go, how to create a very light launcher that will install after the game? If not, do you know a way to put my game on a site that I control? Like a blog.
Thanks in advance
Hey there @Belli_Finem! Did the tutorial happen to go over stripping out plugins? Basically much of the size of installs in situations where you are building something smaller like a launcher or mobile games in which the plugins are 90% of the size. If you’d already gutted the plugins for the initial install, what all is being packaged for the launcher? Are you using Pak files to handle the game download/patching?
No i just followed a simple tutorial about Inno Setup, but the file size remains the same. I don’t remember about Pak files. Can you explain ?
Perhaps not the proper solution to your issue. However, there is this thread that converses around your topic: Custom launcher for UnrealEngine game! - #4 by Young_Wolf
What I personally would do is to create a launcher in another software outside of Unreal Engine. I would then use a proper installation tool to install it on said hardware.
