I am trying to publish my project with 'Publish Data As PAKs' = FALSE

As my expectation, published project shoud work, but first it requires Bin/Engine.pak, I found this file in the Engine folder and copy/paste it into Bin folder

Next it requires Bin/Project.pak, I know this is the file which is created with 'Publish Data As PAKs' = TRUE (there will be only 2 files Engine.pak and Project.pak in Bin folder)

It is wierd that published exe file still require Project.pak file.
I think something was wrong here
exe just cant run without that Project.pak file

You have to adjust InitPre which calls ee_init or something like that. It has 2 parameters for loading the paks. Just set false

Thanks for quick answer. I did as your advice and the game can load without asking Project.pak file, but another problem shows up.

When I use Publish Data As Pak = TRUE, everything run well
but now my GUIskin can not be loaded, it exists in Bin folder

   

I cant figure out what is wrong

Did you set it as the default skin for your project? I think it should be the Application -> Right mouse click -> Properties -> Default GUI skin.

Yes, that file is exact the default skin which I placed it in application properties

Hello,
If you don't load PAK, then you have to specify the 'DataPath'
DataPath("Bin");

PAK's are recommended, faster, have encryption and compression.
NO PAK's are recommended only for uploads to servers for later download.

Thank you, it works ! you should put all of these into the online document, please
