72.6 MB game returns "The place is too large." when trying to publish it as another game

Hi! I have been trying to publish another branch of my game for testers, however the game is not publishing and in the output Studio is returning “The place is too large.” I find this odd, as a Roblox team member has stated in a post that games should support 100MB+. I’ve tried turning team create on/off to no avail. Any help is appreciated.

Maybe it isn’t working because the place is too large?

It’s probably due to mass terrain. Probably remove some. A place file should be under 100 MBs (including terrain data).

Hi! apologize for the issue. can you send us the studio log where the error happened?

The place file has only a tad of water (as Roblox terrain, however it’s still a full on game). I also attached an image in the original post of the .rbxl file- it is 72.6 MB.

Yup! Attached in private message, however if you’d like me to send it directly here I can.

Log you shared shows your place is 158931522 bytes large before it hits the upload flow, so it is above the size limit we published. But i understand the local file you saved is only 72.6 MB. We will investigate the discrepancy between the serialization methods of the two flows, meanwhile, I recommend you to take measure to reduce the place size.

Alright! Thank you. I’ll look into reducing the size of our place.

I get this too. But the funny thing is, I can publish to my game it already is, just not another game.
