i have packaged the game into a zip folder however it exceedes the limit for file size. how can i send it to you? basically. i have a menu system set up. when “play” is pressed it should load “level1” however, it does 1 of 2 things. either not do anything atall or closes and tells me in the log that the map specified on the command line could not be found. yes i tried the link, also every other suggesting related to this subject im afraid and to no prevail. ill post another comment with screen shots of more testing after this ---

Hello, Go to Edit-\>Project Settings-\>Maps and Modes and ensure that your map is set to the Default Map. If you are attempting to Launch to a device instead of packaging, it will only cook the Default Map, so you’ll have to add additional maps to be cooked in your Packaging settings in Project Settings in order for this to work. Let me know if you have any additional questions regarding this issue. Have a great day ---

dear ultrask14 after finishing your game, save it. then duplicate the file. this way if all fails you can go back and start again, save and duplicate. set a day where you can have the hole day with no distractions, to start go on edit, project setting. make sure you have a simple go at it and report back to me with screen shots please, and ill get you through it hope you’re well best wishes daniel ---
