oh… if i create a new level and delete the default map. get a package with 155MB size. the map file just 0.9MB.

BTW, the engine directory has 151MB, It was much bigger than unity packages.

Ok cool. Can you restate for me what is the issue you’re seeing?

Hi wittlief,

the issue is **package is too big, and this is a terrible problem! **.

create a third person template project and just package it, get a 400MB package, THIS IS THE PROBLEM.

151MB is not a small size for an empty project, too.

Hi Omega,

Please see this other thread for some tips on how to reduce package size.

Pure DENIAL ! An empty project is always 153mb (with nothing inside!). And one year later, no answer at all, no tutorial, just links to other thread, where you can find zero solution… Ah yes, there is the mystical “blacklist.txt” solution, wich doesnt work (the empty project remains 153mb), wich you must be a soothsayer to use, because you cant find any tutorial…
