UE5 优化项目包体大小

打包前

打包前，content内容243MB,由模型、贴图、蓝图资源构成，（使用工具TreeSize）

打包后

third person模板打包后，整个目录的大小及构成如下，

项目目录

TPProject大小328.3MB,

TPProject/Content/Paks/TPProject-Windows.pak(242MB),大小与打包前content大小一致。

/TPProject/Binaries/Win64/TPProject-Win64-Shipping.exe(85.8MB)，

分析TPProject-Win64-Shipping.exe(使用工具ghidra)，主要是项目代码和资源引用

引擎目录

Engine大小52.8MB，整体结构如下图，有三个目录Extract、Binaries、Content

Extract目录

其中\Extras\Redist\en-us\UEPrereqSetup_x64.exe大小为48.1MB，占Extract目录空间大小100%

UEPrereqSetup_x64.exe作用是在首次运行程序时，会自动检测并安装必要的系统组件，保证程序正常运行。

Binaries组成

Binaries下是ThirdParty，包含必要的库，如下图。

修改如下配置后，打包，整个目录的大小由384.7MB减小到358MB。主要是pak文件从242MB减小到216 MB。

1. 勾选Packaging->UsePakFile

2. 勾选Packaging->Create compressed cooked packages

3. 勾选Packaging->Exclude editor content when cooking

4. 勾选Packaging->Full Rebuild

5. 勾选Packaging->ListsOfMaps，添加需要构建的地图文件

6. 勾选Rendering->Forward Shading

添加DefaultPakFileRules.ini配置后打包，参考https://cobracode.notion.site/How-to-reduce-Package-Size-for-Unreal-Engine-Game-Builds-7993544e050041f9800512acd3500cfc，包体整个目录再由358MB减小到356MB.

优化总结

无风险设置

1. 取消勾选Packaging->Includeprequisites installer（上架steam适用）

2. 关闭不必要的插件（视项目情况）

3. 勾选Packaging->UsePakFile

4. 勾选Packaging->Share Material Shader Code

5. 勾选Packaging->Create compressed cooked packages

6. 勾选Packaging->Exclude editor content when cooking

7. 勾选Packaging->Full Rebuild

8. 勾选Packaging->ListsOfMaps，添加需要构建的地图文件

9. 勾选Rendering->Forward Shading

进一步优化

1. 禁用引擎所默认开启的插件，同时需要保证项目功能正常

2. 添加DefaultPakFileRules.ini，参考（https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/pak-blacklist-file-deprecated-in-favor-of-defaultpakfilerules-ini/153080/5）
