Having trouble with zipped exported project being downloaded from web
After finishing my game, I exported the project to a folder, made a zipped version of that folder, and uploaded it to itch.io. When people download it from that site, they download the zipped folder, and they need to unzip it. After test trying this a couple times, every time I try to unzip the downloaded version of the folder I get the error from whatever 'unzipping' software I use
Data error: gamename\player_win_86.pdb
which cancels the extraction and makes nothing work. Does anyone know of why this happens, or a way to stop it from happening?
Any help or suggestions appreciated! :)

@Pie_Lord It's a debugging file. Your zip only needs to include the gamename\gamename.exe and gamename\gamename_data folder. Try that and see if it helps, should make your zip smaller aswell. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29359473/unity-5-pdb-file-on-build-development-build-turned-off Here's little more info for you.
Thanks, makes sense! $$anonymous$$aking the zip smaller is also nice to know, I was wondering how to shrink it a bit
