When downloading an archive larger than 23~ megabytes, the archive breaks.

23 megabytes is well under the maximum size. It's strange you would get an error. Can I see your config.txt file?

APPLICATION_NAME=Explosive Wheels

DOWNLOAD_URL=https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1cyFiEms3Ce25eU2MFiF26jhCX1WL0QiV

VERSION_URL=https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1S9B7SHrFtkfJhxVOpzPZfYTNRPgj_wo9

FILE_TO_RUN=Explosive Wheels.exe

DOWNLOAD_VERSION_FILE=true

Everything worked and is working with smaller archives

The maximum file size that can be downloaded via a direct link from Google Drive without intermediate windows is 25 MB.

Everything works fine on dropbox

Developer

interesting... it should work fine with gdrive. glad you got it sorted with dropbox

On larger files Google Drive is displaying a page about not being able to do a virus scan. Thats probably blocking the proper download.

Developer

There's a system in place to bypass that, GDrive may have updated the design of the page and broken it though

I'm having the same problem, my game has 33mb zipped and it just won't download.  Both in the free version and in the customized version that I made based on the source code. 

To avoid the confirmation screen, I'm adding "&confirm=t" which in theory, on google drive, downloads without the question screen but still don't work.

GDRIVE_DOWNLOAD_URL = "https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1p6t2nNbJRhqkjsEYRBAfqZoR5YW10jIO&confirm=t",
GDRIVE_VERSION_URL = "https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1EAceEAXneSD4JvYw8zB4rj0c2QF5Dr4D",

Is there any solution to this issue?

The only way to work is using the dropbox.

DROPBBOX_DOWNLOAD_URL = "https://www.dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/y7zwrder1hpb30g/build.zip?dl=0",
DROPBOX_VERSION_URL = "https://www.dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/2up5lwlnkx6o197/game_version.txt?dl=0",



thanks!

Google Drive updated their download system and it doesn't seem to work anymore. Dropbox is the only way to do it now
