In the past I've been successfully using the API when running from the app (HTML5 game), testing for the Itch object existence from javascript as documented:

if (typeof Itch === 'undefined') {  
  console.log('no Itch context');
} else { ... }

This no longer works (I always get 'no itch context', both when running in the app and the itch.io website). I also tried with this sample project (replacing the files in my own project)  https://github.com/fasterthanlime/sample-html-app  and it also does not find the Itch object.

Is there now an additional step to take besides the manifest?

Thank you!

Best regards -

If the latter happens and the game is running despite... not running, force quitting and relaunching the game does nothing. As does reinstalling the game. Going to the game's directory and running it from the file manually works perfectly fine, but running it through the itch app does not. The only way I've found to fix this issue is to completely uninstall the game and then install it again. The issue with this solution is that it goes back to the initial 50/50 chance the game will work on every install, and if something in the game changes (like I enabled a modded version of the game in the settings for example) then once again it goes back to that 50/50 chance that it will work or not.

This is becoming increasingly frustrating, as closing the game and reopening it to fix an issue becomes a coin toss as to whether or not the game will reopen, and I shouldn't have to reinstall games on a regular basis just to get them to work.

I'm on Windows 11, I have not tried to fiddle with Windows Defender's exceptions at all, both the itch app and all relevant games are installed on my HDD in a non-protected folder. There are no errors in the console that I could see that weren't caused by me force quitting games. The games do not crash. There are no leftover processes after quitting the games. The games show as running in the itch app but show no active window and do not launch.

recently in recent post I saw some 6 - 3 hour old post coming after 20-50 mins post, and the old post coming in most recent

I think most probably it is a bug or a typo ig?

recently in recent post I saw some 6 - 3 hour old post coming after 20-50 mins post, and the old post coming in most recent

I think most probably it is a bug or a typo ig?

For example currently it can show two options one 64-bit, one 32-bit. (EXE filename ends with "-32")

I'd like to  set it to never show the 32-bit option; maybe via a setting in Preferences?

I've been getting this error when scrolling through my library.  I have a large number of physical games from purchasing bundles and games over the years and so far no fix has been found

Recently (I noticed today but it seems to have been happening all weekend) it started returning 429 Too Many Requests from openresty.

I revoked my API key and generated a new one, and the script worked one time, and an hour later when it fired again it returned 429 Too Many Requests.

Have there been some changes?

I recently installed the Itch.io app, at first I had no problems downloading a game, but it wasn't until I started to download the second game that it seems to go wrong, my connection is relatively good where I live (1mb/s), but when I try to download any game, it's like I don't have a good connection, because when I open the properties of the game folder, it seems to increase the size of it, but it's like I'm downloading at the speed of 1kb/s, I don't know if it is a server problem or what, I would like some help to see if this problem can be solved. 

Thank You

Hace poco instalé la aplicación de Itch.io, al principio no tuve problemas al descargar un juego, pero no fue hasta que comenzó con el segundo juego que parece andar mal, mi conexión es relativamente buena en donde vivo (1mb/s), pero cuando intento descargar cualquier juego, es como si no tuviera una buena conexión, ya que al abrir las propiedades de la carpeta del juego, parece aumentar el tamaño, pero es como si estuviera descargando a la velocidad de 1kb/s, no se si sea un problema del servidor o que, quisiera un poco de ayuda para ver si se puede resolver este problema.

Muchas Gracias

One of the players who have purchased my game can't donwload the game from the itch app in Ubuntu 20.10. I can't either with Ubuntu 16.

Downloading from the webpage, there are no problems.

It seems to be related to butler, but I have never used butler to upload my game, and it's just 1 executable file.

Below is the error my customer is having (the error I'm getting is almost the same).

Thanks in advance.

On Ubuntu 20.10 I get the following error for both demo and full version: Following is taken from the itch app log:

Right now, the only method I have of separating them out on the app is by making separate Collections for each platform and then manually adding what I own to each one based on the icons/game page. A faster (and non-manual) solution would be fantastic.

This is really my only current issue with the app. If this is currently possible, and I'm just missing something in the settings, someone please let me know! Thank you!

Then i try to download the Program to execute normally and works, but the next day gives this error again and again, i make this Many Times but change nothing: Always comes back this error

I use Windows Defender as antivirus

I'm currently experiencing a large number of issues trying to install games through the itch.io app while working through the Palestine and Ukraine bundles I purchased a while back.

Sometimes when attempting to install games, the app works as expected - it loads the install size of the file, it automatically selects a location, and it lets me install the game. I was able to queue multiple games/downloads at a time the first day I was using the app.

However, after a game or two, or sometimes even when opening the app for the first time, the performance is VERY slow.

I frequently get "JSON-RPC connection timed out". The app hangs when trying to click on install e.g. forever waiting on "computing space requirements". The app will not load additional rows of games (either no response or the same JSON error). And most importantly, 1 CPU core on an i5-10400F is pegged near 100% usage even when the app appears to be doing nothing (~13% total usage).  I have no idea what the app is trying to do and why it's maxing out a core to look like it's inactive.

For comparison, if I open firefox, I have 42 tabs of various itch.io pages open with ~5% usage of a single core, and I can download games directly from the downloads pages without issue.

One example error is below, but it doesn't really capture all of the issues:

What to do?

Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!

Hello all, 

I'm thinking I posted this question in the wrong section before, so now I'm reposting it here. I'm hoping someone can help me. I manually downloaded a game from the website because the zip file was hosted on a non-supported site (Mega I believe) and wanted to install the game manually to the app. How do I do that, if it's even possible? I would like the game to appear in my library but even though I put it in the folder, it doesn't show up. 

Thank you for any help you can give me. :)

I just want a file location on device where i can put files I buy off itch . if i can have a browser like pico 8 that would be amazing. not looking for free games.  

As of now, when a game meant to be played in the browser is accessed through the itch.io app, all of the game files and assets are instead downloaded to the player's computer.

Is there any way to prevent this?

I'm trying to contribute updates to packages as they become available for winget, Microsoft's Windows Package manager. I came across this issue that I was attempting to resolve: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/issues/221034

The manifests for the itchio app point to

https://itch.io/app/download?platform=windows

however as updates to itch-setup are released, the sha256 checksum of the download changes. This can also impact end users depending on their system architecture. 

So I did a little digging and pulled these URLs from your build pipeline and submitted new manifests specifically for itch-setup 1.27.0 depending on architecture:

https://broth.itch.zone/install-itch/windows-amd64/_9/unpacked/default
https://broth.itch.zone/install-itch/windows-386/_34/unpacked/default

I have this PR waiting to merge: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pull/221096

Is this okay that I pull these URLs to include in the manifests for installing itch-setup via winget? Is there another URL you'd prefer?

I'm concerned that there may not be away for the currently installed version of itch-setup to be detected in order to receive updates. Is this something that could possibly be incorporated into your build process? Or is there a way to point the manifests specifically to an installer for the itchio desktop app?

Thanks in advance for your consideration and taking the time to read this.

Looking forward to your response. 

• You can't paste text on the feedback portion of the review.
• You can't even add a link or an embed video on the review. I literally had to write the link of a site to do so.
• If you hold the left click and get outside the review box while holding, you'll exit the review.

As long as I have been using the app, it never worked, and showed constantly the app on startup even tho the option is checked.

Also, is it normal that I'm not auto-logging-in in the app? Isn't there an option for that? If so, I'd suggest the feature.

I also ran butler validate on the .itch.toml and directory and always validated successfully.

Anyway, I decided to never use platform and just modify the .itch.toml to create the correct paths per platform build.

My uname -a comes back as Linux and GNU/Linux, so not sure what the problem is with it. I’m using Pop!_OS, so it’s possible that the itch app is only checking for Ubuntu/Fedora or something like that and not derivatives.

I don't want to add what games I am seeking to try to get help for because I don't want to distract from what i need help with, but if knowing the games would help figure out the problem, I will.

Edit at of 3 pm of same day., so to add more context. there is some stuff about exec format error and exitccode 0x1 (at least I think that is what I am reading) of the 4 games I have. as you can tell, I am some one who is not tech savvy , like I have no idea how to get the RENPY_PLATFORM to change to the system that one of them even suggests as a way to solve the problem.  sorry for the trouble.

Edit as of the 19th of December , it seems like my processor architecture is x86_64 , now I have no idea how to apply this info to my problem because now it looks like its just not working for no real reason i can see.

Also I recognize this may already be solved by someone or an existing tool, but I have spent a couple of days searching forums and search engines with little result.

Thanks.

I tried using wine with the windows version and it downloaded itch but gave a crash when executing.

Idk what else to do

Is this a bug or is the tag system less simple than I first thought? I admit I have a vested interest in this as I have an AI generated game and its being pushed down by other games that don't seem to have any meaningful AI elements, or even the tag.

Thanks

I don't know how feasible this is, but I'd find it immensely more convenient having the manage collections options/tools available in the normal collections page when you mouse-over your titles. Or, at least, the option for it to act this way.

This existed in the past it seems, but it was removed

I've bought a few of the really big bundles that have been made on occasion, the ones with over a thousand items, like the Bundle for Ukraine and such. And since it's not feasible to register everything in all those bundles to my library (which would make my library pretty cluttered anyway), I keep the pages for those bundles open in tabs on the desktop app.

This poses a problem when the button to open a new tab is right next to the "close everything yes I'm absolutely sure" button. Multiple times now, I've misclicked when trying to open a new tab, and had to go trawling through my email to get the URLs of the bundle pages back because I closed all the tabs on accident.

This could theoretically be fixed my moving the Close All Tabs button somewhere else, but I can see how there may not be a better place for it from a UI design perspective, so all I'm asking for is some sort of "Are you sure?" popup to appear when you click that button, so I can have a chance to save my tabs from deletion if I click it on accident.

If something like that could be done, I would be immensely grateful.
