As requested by Josh, I've posted my issue here so it doesn't get lost. My project currently works just fine in-editor and when tested via the in-editor "test" button. However, when I publish the project, the .exe refuses to run, with no Windows dialogue box, or any other form of error prompt. (e.g., when double-clicking the .exe, the cursor gets a "loading" icon very briefly, then nothing happens.) Notes: I have attempted numerous options in the publish prompt; various levels of compression, 0 compression, include every fathomable file type, default settings, ticking/unticking the "only include used files" box, etc. My project is a .Lua project. I am using the Standard version of Leadwerks 5/Ultra Engine. My project does include a start.map. I have verified that "main.lua" is looking for "start.map" and not "start.ultra", just in case. I have tried moving the exported project to other file locations and running as administrator, just to see if it was some kind of issue of attempting to write a file to an unwritable location. I have checked the task manager to ensure no background Leadwerks/Ultra process of some kind may have been running, causing it to think it was already open/running. Included below is my exported project's "data.zip" as Josh requested to diagnose the issue. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/jgdp7yhj9lv49r1p8r6fn/data.zip?rlkey=ldpzc727je9o83e1iefpjmjyp&st=dq5uk3hx&dl=0

Hello, I did a successful bit of animation in Leadwerks. I tried publishing it as a standalone but it does not resemble what I see when when running the "game" from Leadwerks. It just shows a black screen. I tried exporting to Steam Workshop and it gave the same result. Black screen. Any suggestions?

Hello, lxFirebal69xl pointed out that the loadfile() function i used in the Notes.lua crashes the application. I tested it and it looks like loadfile can only load files that are placed normally in the game directory and not inside a zip-file. is this a bug or a feature?

i wanted to upload a few assets: I zipped them up and did a render in LW opened the screenshot folder and used that JPG as the Preview. Navigated to the zipfile, wrote a description and click publish I get the error = File extension "png" is not allowed even though its a jpg file... hmm any help on this?

Can you publish on steam after you finish making your game? if yes then how do you correct the files ready to publish? Thanks Alexander
