Based on what you described, the most likely explanation is a browser issue.
Barring that, if I had to guess... an issue with itchio in general or your PC is somehow preventing the download from popping up? To eliminate the possibility of a browser issue, consider trying to DL through a different browser?
If the problem is solved, then you know it's something with your browser.
If it persists, then you've at least eliminated one possible cause of the issue.
It's the fault of the temperamental little fox that lives in my computer. I'm sure of it
a.i: My Firefox browser works on some games and not with other games, and it doesn't seem to matter which page it is on become it works sometimes but not other times.... o_O;
It's the only browser I have tho. And I don't wanna risk replacing it by attempting to fumble my way through technical stuff that I seem to always mess up.
(My PayPal got stuck in limbo cuz I managed to somehow delete my email when I tried to refuse an annoying upload I didn't want. >_>;
That other pay thing got stuck in limbo where it exists and don't exist at the same time.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg of things I've fucked up with my laptops. Many of them now dead and buried. Or at least dead.
I am good at many things, but tech stuff is not one of them.)
Maybe my laptop is possessed? By a fox-spirit. That hates browser-based games. >_>;
Maybe, though I'm fairly certain every PC comes with a default browser. Like Edge on Windows, or Safari on Apple, or the slow decay of your limited mortal form on this plane of existence that you'll never get back on Linux.
If you or someone else hasn't uninstalled it, it's probably still there. Though, downloading another browser like chrome or something is as easy as you would download a game here, if that helps?
Though if you are worried about breaking something by checking a 2nd browser, you could try toggling off browser extensions to see if that helps? I don't recall if firefox has a safe mode equivalent or not.
