This forum is used for the purpose of monitoring (and encouraging!) development of the app with the community. You are allowed to post topics to make suggestions or report issues, and the usual rules of the community still apply.

Rules

Discussion and questions about the itch.io desktop app only! If you have general questions about itch.io then you probably belong in Questions & Support or Ideas & Feedback

You can see more about our app here: https://itch.io/app

If you're having trouble with installing the app then please try again with your virus scanner (temporarily) disabled. Adding an exception to your scanner is not enough since it's easy to miss adding rules to certain paths, or to misunderstand how the virus scanner exception options work. We will not provide support for installation issues unless you have confirmed that you have disabled your virus scanner. Please write in your post that you have disabled it.
