I'm fucking done, I have no idea why but these games always end with "app not installed" like what does it LOOK LIKE I'M TRYING TO DO!?!! But sometimes it doesn't? The past 2 games I have tried to install just haven't worked. If someone knows why PLEASE tell me. And if there is a solution to this bs, I am waiting eagerly to hear it. (Edit, I am installing from the download link. And from the patron link if that was an option. Either way, it just doesn't work.)

what games are you trying to install

womp womp

Yeah, yeah, have your fun, I get it's not a big deal. I had a feeling someone was gonna do it eventually.

Tbh i had some problems with same error message, but allat was just from extra files which werent in the og game or app and for some reason it didnt like it

try restarting phone. That helped me once.

When i have this issue its because I'm low on storage space. Some games are REAL fucking pissy about this. I had to have atleast 15gb of space free to install a 3gb game before

Can you tell me what device you are downloading on? Windows, Mac, Linux, Android?

Android, or at least that's the file I've been downloading. In reality, I'm using an Amazon kindle fire.

hmm kindle fires run Fire OS which is technically a custom version of android, but i know they do try and force you to only use apps from their playstore but there are also workarounds for that; on that note I don''t know enough about Fire OS to know the workarounds, whether it is blocking the app, if it's a download  error (pretty common) or user error. I suggest looking at a youtube tutorial for how to download and run non-amazon APK files on your kindle, If nothing they suggest works then it is possible it is just a download error which if so you just keep trying to download. And if using the mega download a free account would take multiple days to download all the different files together not sure of all are needed or not but mega restricts free accounts to 5 gigs of downloads daily. I paid for a month of membership on mega just because i didn't know if all the files were needed or not. Wish I could be more helpful but I just don't know enough about Kindles, I only use mine for reading, I game on PC, hopefully this helped a tiny bit at least.

Alright thanks. I have some more info that might be of importance. First of all, I didn't always have problems with downloading games like these. I used to be able to download games like corrupted kingdoms which you might recognize, the file is about 1-2 gb, too much to download now, but as I said, I didn't always have problems with these kind of downloads. Now, if the game is above 1 gb, it's just too much. My only guess is that I might just be overwhelming my kindle with seemingly harmful apk files. So my kindle is just no longer having it. But I am no tech expert, so I have not one clue why it's being stubborn now. (Edit: Sometimes the downloads don't even finish and say "Download forbidden" or something like that.)
