I've had this game for around 2 months, and just today I had the problem where my application wouldn't open. now every time I download it, it forcefully removes the file and I cant do anything. what can I do to fix this?

What forcefully removes what file?

Sumptuous.Brownie3 years ago

I don't know what is forcefully removing it. On my HP laptop, as I download it, it looks relatively normal, as it shows it downloading it on the bottom of my screen. Once it finishes downloading, I go to click it so I can extract the file and get to the Among Us application. As I go to click it, it becomes 'unclickable' and pops up as removed. It disappears from my recent downloads.

maybe you have to delete all of the ones you already have and then download once and have one only.

Tell me if it works?

I have deleted all files, extracted or zip, that I had previously. I'm wagering it's my antivirus system, but it seems multiple other people are now having that problem in the comments, so I'm not so sure. It doesn't download no matter what I try, unfortunately.

That's not the only way to play it though. You can add the game to Steam with the key on the download page, or use the itch.io app and download it from there.

Thanks for the info! It works on Steam! I can't believe I didn't think about that, I feel a little dumb now lol

But thank you for your help!

The file being forcefully removed is the Among Us windows version zip file.

Check the Downloads folder on your computer

The application is not in my recent downloads. As I download the zip file, it pops up there once it's finished, and then around 2 or 3 seconds later, it literally disappears. At this point I am not sure if it's a problem with the download and application itself, or my computer, since others are able to at least download and open the application.

There might be an antivirus program on your computer removing it. It might be McAfee or Norton or something like that.
Open whatever antivirus you have and there should be a place where it lists the files it has removed.

I looked at all the possibilities in my antivirus program, including history and ways to stop blocking file downloads, but nothing is forthcoming, unfortunately. I wasn't able to add the file to pass through the antivirus check since the file doesn't exist in my laptop in the first place. I tried prematurely opening the file as it downloaded, but upon 'opening' the file, it just gives me a notice saying that my access request is denied. As far as my laptop is concerned apparently, the file does not exist. Thank you for your help so far; if it comes down to it I'll probably contact a tech support place to see what's up.

It sounds like it's probably the antivirus. It says access denied when the file is gone. You might want to completely disable the antivirus and see what happens.
You could also try downloading with a different browser, but I don't think that'll make a difference.

If you have the itch app, just use the LAUNCH button to open the game.

it's easy if you're on mobile but for pc (im on windows)

you need to download it again, then it opens a folder. click the among us folder, and it's gonna ask you to extract something. press extract or something similar, and it's gonna extract. after that, it brings you to a bunch of things, and one of them is among us. click that and then it should be fine. the only thing i've found out is that it doesn't work from the actual game, you need to launch it from the folder.
