I'm not sure how to contact you, so I post this message here.

I donated for Dig Dug Revival, Random Pac and Lady Pac. I noticed today (9/9/2025) those have been updated, so I downloaded the new win-x86.zip versions. None works, double clicking on the exe does nothing.

I tried the older versions, and Dig Dug Revival and Random Pac don't work anymore (same thing, double clicking does nothing), whereas Lady Pac still works. They worked on my old Windows 10 PC, but meanwhile I got a new PC with Windows 11, so I guess it's a Windows 11 issue. What should I do?

I just downloaded the three games you mentioned and tested them on a Windows 11 PC, and all three work perfectly.

Could you try launching one of the games that aren't working from Command Prompt (CMD) and let me know if you get any kind of message in the window?

Thank you for your reply.

Using command prompt, it works. But when I double click, nothing happens. I don't get it.

Other indie games, such as Locomalito games, work fine. I only get this issue with your games.

I fixed it.

On Windows 10, when an exe was from an unknown editor, the OS asked you if you wanted to launch it anyway. Here, it cancels the launch of the game without saying anything, you have to right click and go into properties to unlock the exe (checking the very last box on the first page, I didn't notice the new option at first).

Well, I didn't know about this either. The Windows 11 PC I tested the games on probably behaves the same way as before because it was a PC that had Windows 10 and was updated to 11. Evidently on a new PC built with Windows 11, this option must be enabled for each executable file.

The option I had to check was "this exe comes from another computer", that's why you didn't have it.

Anyway, your games are fantastic. Thanks for replying, now you know this issue can happen, just in case someone else has the same problem.

Regarding the option, Gemini actually confirmed that it's as you say.

Thank you for appreciating my work and reporting the issue, which may be useful to others.
