Is there even a feature to verify an installation? If the app manages the installation I would expect such a feature. And from what I read about the app, there is not really a thing like making a game compatible with the app. Not as a requirement that is. I believe one could create a manifest for the app, but that is not mandatory for it to work.

Thank you for your reply!

I'm sorry that I don't know if I understood what you meant because of the translation I used.

In fact, the games games downloaded from the webpage are playing fine. It's just that the games downloaded from the itch.io app seem to update automatically, so I'd like to try to get the app to recognise the games I've downloaded from the web and be able to update them automatically.

I've tried moving the web downloaded game to the app's default download location or to a download location I've added and then letting the app scan to recognise it, but this hasn't worked. That's why I'm asking for help.

If not, I'll consider downloading the update manually or re-downloading the game in the app.

Anyway, thanks for reading and answering my question! I also wish you good health! Have a great life! All the best!

Games installed by the app do not update automatically. They are updated by the app. For this the app has to know the game somehow.

You can scan install locations for games, but I suspect this feature is for games that were previously installed by the itch app.
