Smaller Release

Closed this issue · 6 comments

I noticed that the AmongUs.exe in https://github.com/denverquane/amonguscapture/releases is really large (>150MB) and takes on slow internet connections very long to download.

Possible improvements:

  • Upload the release as compressed file;
    A simple zip saves a lot of space (latest release >60%), with literally no effort to implement

  • Try use Trimming; however this is experimental and can fail
    Edit: seems like this was already done: 9e7ac6b

Trimming has saved around 50% of space so there is that. We definitely could zip the file. I think if you're on windows, they can read .zip files natively? So no user install necessary.

And also, beta releases (github actions artifacts) on download are automatically zipped by github.

You can right click the file and choose "Extract all..."

I think everyone should be able to do that, if not write s short description into the release notes ;)

And also, beta releases (github actions artifacts) on download are automatically zipped by github.

I think they just provide the files as ZIP but don't actually compress it:
This beta release zip was built using the same commit as the last release and the size of the zip is identical to that of the release exe (159MB)

Although it says that size is 80MB. When you download it, it is only 20
