When starting an empty project, the engine complain about there being no player datablock, that's normal?

I dunno it sounds like a little oversight that there isn't even a "blank" datablock, just so the error doesn't pop up.

I agree, the "empty" project shouldn't try to spawn a player, but it does.

There looks to be far too much code to just spawn a camera.

For what i see the Game:: namespace has the player datablock set to "" so the fallback code trigger "if datablock is null, show a warning and load a spectator datablock"

Either the warning should be removed or a basic player datablock should be put in place.

Kyrah Abattoir: I've gone ahead and logged this one under THREED-2514 for improvement.
