Just purchased in the winter sale bundle and I'm having problems downloading it. Letting you know in case it's a problem with the bundle and not just my computer

That's weird, I Haven't heard about anyone else having this issue. Is downloading games from bundles different from downloading normally?

I noticed that the itch.io launcher does not properly recognize the .exe and does not launch like other games (for example your fox game). So when I would try to "install" it, it wouldn't work. However I can download the file manually just fine.

That's so strange, I wonder why that happens.

This is the error it gives, obviously it's not a huge deal since you can play the game, but if you are curious: https://imgur.com/a/RhmYN5u

I'm sorry but I think this might be a issue with the itch launcher, as my game isn't the only one with these problems. I also didn't do anything for my other games which work fine, so idk what's going on.

I too cannot install this game using the itch app. There is no install file (as @benzoht mentions). Iirc, I think there is an option or something that the developer needs to check when uploading? Anyway, would be great to have this install through the launcher if possible.

Yeah I'm looking for a fix, but I haven't been able to find the option that makes it work. I have seen multiple people having the same issue with other games as well, but it doesn't like there's a easy fix atm.

Hmm iirc I wonder if you just need to select "executable" and ticked the Windows box on the game's dashboard? I seem to recall having a similar issue elsewhere and something as simple as this being the fix idk.

Actually, looking at your profile page, the games listed with the windows symbol showing will install but the ones without (including this one) will not. This might be it!

Tried setting it to windows, does it work now?

jamgames3 years ago

Just installed it now! Thanks!
