Why does my casino game crash right after I launch it?

usual suspects for crashes when you run from an EXE - no runtimes or wrong permissions. If it runs fine in the editor, then make sure you've bundled everything you need. Perhaps the EXE is missing a DLL that the engine needs. Run as admin to see if the problem is permissions. It could also be antivirus or firewall blocking something. Make sure you aren't using features that require a particular runtime version. Try running the game on another computer to rule out local configuration problems. If you are making a slots game for a casino, then don't use anything platform specific that wouldn't allow it to run without the editor. The EXE may also be looking for a config file or resources in the wrong place. Try stripping down your project to the bare minimum and re-building to narrow down the problem to either your code or your assets.

A possible cause of problems with a game that runs in the editor but not on launch is incomplete dependencies or corruption. Make sure all necessary DLLs are present alongside the .exe. Re-build the release version and ensure there aren’t any missing files. Then, try running the game with administrative privileges and look for error messages. Your antivirus software or system settings may be preventing the game from opening; disable it temporarily or set compatibility mode to Windows 10/8.1.
