Why is my blender player 5Gig big?

I thought it was strange when I exportet a small game on my imac i7 and noticed that it takes forever to export. Also the file created was 5gigs. Then I went to see how big blenderplayer is which also is 5Gigs, so I figured that this is normal since the file also contains the player to be standalone.

However now I’ve installed blender (as well 2.69) on my laptop power pc and noticed that blenderplayer is around 70MB there! Also exporting the very same game takes a split of a second and it is not even 100MB.

What is wrong here… Any ideas…?

If’s possible that your .blend file may have had cached simulation data or something and the Blenderplayer export for some reason bundled it in with the game.

Go through the file and search for any sign of baked or cached data, then free the data and see what you get. The possibility that this becomes a part of the executable at all may need to be treated as a bug.

Thanks! Though that wasnt it. Also the standalone player is 5gigs big. Ill re-downlaod it and see if something changes.
