yeah this happens a lot for itch.io games, what you do is click 'OK' then go to settings, security and privacy, and it should say something like 'clangen could be malicious, would you still like to open' and just click open (also this is for my mac I'm not 100% sure it'll work for you tho)
On Mac it says I can't play because 'the software needs to be updated'. Is there a way to have the computer let me play or do I just need to try and find a new device to play it on??
Awesome! My laptop gets here tomorrow, I'm so excited! I saw a lot about the discord in the comments, anyway I can join that?? I might be slow but I can't figure it out ^w^ Thanks sooo much for the reply, I was worried since the last update was a long time ago
I keep getting this weird error every time that I try to open up Clangen on Linux using a chromebook. Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?
Clangen is already installed, running it...

Hello! I am using a windows computer that I got for christmas and lost a few braincells due to the excitement from (/JK). It sadly will not run/download properly for my computer. I have a desktop windows. The github version does work, though! I'd like to have this fixed- others do, too. If you're a bit too busy, lack motivation, or really just don't wanna fix the issue, I really don't care. Please take your time!
So I downloaded The Clangen Mac IOS Version,And I did everything it asked and when I go to launch the game its says "The game Needed to be Updated".So I don't really know what to do bc it says contact the Dev so the game can be updated.
It says The game was updated 74 days ago so idk if it needs to be updated again or not?
Hi! I have a suggestion that could be helpful: Having a section where we can see the relations to the 'other clans', as I often forget what my clan's relations are to others..
i think that more things to influence clan relations is coming in the next update.. There was a sneak peak on the clangen tumblr of a possible addition :)
coming from someone who is an official beta tester, I have seen nothing of this, and I can't find the post you're referring to, so I expect this is false
web version can unfortunately be a bit unreliable and prone to this sort of breaking. We have a few potential solutions to this (copy-pasted from the discord):
What you can do to fix it:
1. Make sure the website isn't down: The website should go to a 404 page upon a contributor attempting to push any update of the sorts.
2. Try leaving the site: because there might be a lot of people trying to get in. Just exiting out of the website for a while might help boot up the page upon re-entering. You might have to wait 30~ minutes, but it should be the first thing you retry.
3. Convert your save: If you have an older version of your saves, which predates the update of 12/25/2022, you might have to convert your save to the new save-file format. Use https://clangen-web.github.io/convert.html to convert, then refresh or completely exit out of the website.
4. Use a different browser: Some websites can only work for some browsers. Change your browser to see if it works.
5. Use an incognito tab: Sometimes it works if you make your tab incognito
6. Clear your Cache: This should be a final resort if all else fails, clearing your cache completely deletes all save data:
hello! I'm wondering if we can have mental illness as a condition in game, such as depression, adhd, anxiety and so on, kits that grow up without their birth parents by their side or were adopted into the clan would be more likely to have these conditions, they could struggle with relationships, or get into a toxic relationship, such as distancing their mates, lashing out at their mates, but wanting to be close to them still (borderline personality disorder). It could be made like the grieving process, when the cat with these condition are being well taken care of (like patrolling together, mediating)by their loved ones, they would recover from it. I think it would be interesting to see cats struggling with their issues, and eventually overcome them!
Hello! I have a suggestion, maybe you could add the ability to bring back dead cats? Even if they come back as a kit with a different name but it's still them. I think It'd be a cool feature, also my medicine cats keep getting mates even though it's against the warrior code for them to do so, I normally break them up right away but it's a bit annoying.
Hey can you please change it for the Linux files you don't have to open a zip to install? I'm using a chromebook and accessing hidden Linux files is not working for me, it would be simple if you didn't have to do that
Has there been a fix to relationships so breakups aren't happening so frequently? It would make sense if the pair had poor standing with each other but half the time it's cats with maxed feelings.
Hi! I love this game but I play it on my laptop (I don't know if this is a problem) and it won't install the new update past 54.4%. Does anyone know how to fix this?
can anyone help me with this bug? every time I've tried to download near the end of the download time i get this message " file wasn't available on site " and if this matters i am on a windows 11and I've tried the 64 bit and the 32 bit versions I've been watching videos on this game for so long so if you can find anything to help me please do!
I'm not sure if it's because of the versions you're downloading, but I tried downloading both of those versions on my windows 11 pc and the only one that booted up was the one that says windows 10, so maybe that'll work instead?
How can I get ClanGen on my laptop? The WaveBrowser thing just wasn't working and I had to get rid of it. I had a version for a while and then it stopped.
I don't know if this is happening to anyone else, but as per the latest update, my downloaded version of CG is not opening. It moves kind of quickly but here's a screenshot of the Python log and why it claims to be shutting down. Does anyone on the team (or anyone with coding knowledge) know a fix to this?
yea it happend to me dont worry ab it its just a code that says what is hapenin in the game. btw dont close it or the game will crash (sorry for my grammer)
from what I can tell, it looks like your modules aren't installed correctly- it says it's missing one called schema I'd suggest reinstalling your requirements.txt
I'm not great with source version though, so if you have more issues I'd suggest joining the discord if you can :)
If your device is a 32-bit windows (usually windows 7 and some windows 10 pc’s) than download that one, and 64-bit file for 64-bit pc’s (most windows 10/11 pc’s) if it’s Linux, download one of the versions listed (idk which one, I don’t have a Linux) or if you have a Mac download the Mac file! As far as I know playing on any of those just requires unzipping, searching for clangen.exe in the folder, and if it gets falsely flagged, run it anyway! Hope this helps! :)
if its a newer version, go into settings and turn on the setting that says smth abt showing updates it will update it and keep the cans, depending on how old it is you might have to redownload it
when I download the game press play then it says something about the application and you have to go into settings to fix it but when I do it doesn’t let me

For some reason it doesn't work on mac (idk I've never played this game before)
yeah this happens a lot for itch.io games, what you do is click 'OK' then go to settings, security and privacy, and it should say something like 'clangen could be malicious, would you still like to open' and just click open (also this is for my mac I'm not 100% sure it'll work for you tho)
Thank you I managed to get it to work :)
How do i play it i downloaded it and extracted it?
click the file named clangen.exe, if you cant find it download it again
There's A YouTube On How To Download The Game :
it let me download it, but it wont let me open it as a game because it keeps itself as a file so i dont know what to open to play the game??
have you extracted it?
i have now. What do i do after
nevermind i got it. Thank you
how am i able to extract it? sorry, i just so happened to roll along this... hope you understand! <:D
generally right click > extract
On Mac it says I can't play because 'the software needs to be updated'. Is there a way to have the computer let me play or do I just need to try and find a new device to play it on??
Try redownloading it becasue it worked for me and im using catalina
nothing actually needs to be updated, it's mac's built in antivirus falsely flagging it
try right click opening your game? (control click if you can't right click)
what happened to the game that can update itself? I had it at one point, but I accidentally deleted it and now I can't find it again...
If you're having trouble updating I'd suggest redownloading
The newest version should be able to update without redownloading!
just wondering when hard mode is coming out?
we don't know! currently it's planned to be worked on once Expanded is finished
I just got a laptop purely to play this game, is it still active/being worked on? Or is there anything else like it? Thanks
Yes! It is.
Awesome! My laptop gets here tomorrow, I'm so excited! I saw a lot about the discord in the comments, anyway I can join that?? I might be slow but I can't figure it out ^w^ Thanks sooo much for the reply, I was worried since the last update was a long time ago
https://discord.gg/clangen
if that doesn't work, there should be a discord link on the itch.io page- I think it's near the bottom
I cant download halppp
Did you ever fix it? Just bought a laptop to play this
Nvm its oki!!
how do i play this? i downloaded it only shows me the file names, and not the home screen. i'm on windows 11 at the moment.
make sure you extracted it, then look around in the files for clangen.exe? then open that
How do i play this game?
what OS is your computer on? Windows, Mac, other?
Im on mobile
the game isn't available on mobile, sorry
you can still play web version, but it's not being maintained right now, so kinda buggy
Oh okay

Is there a way to get mods without discord ?

sorry I'm kinda late, I missed your post
what kind of error/issue did you get when running/downloading? this is most likely on your end and not ours
what OS is your computer on? Windows, Mac, other?
clangen deez nuts together
I have a little question, it might seem obvious but, how do I update Clangen? Do I eliminate it and then re-install it?
on most platforms you can update via a button on the main menu of your game
if that isn't working, you can redownload from here or from https://clangen.io/download
Has cruel season come out? would it be in an update for the game or would i have to redownload it?
No, cruel season is not out yet.
Is this being updated ever ?
Yes, clangen is still being updated, just not super frequently.
So I downloaded The Clangen Mac IOS Version,And I did everything it asked and when I go to launch the game its says "The game Needed to be Updated".So I don't really know what to do bc it says contact the Dev so the game can be updated.
It says The game was updated 74 days ago so idk if it needs to be updated again or not?
this is an issue with mac's built-in antivirus falsely flagging your game
right click open your game?
Hi! I have a suggestion that could be helpful: Having a section where we can see the relations to the 'other clans', as I often forget what my clan's relations are to others..
yeah this is a good idea
some kind of leader's den screen has been a vague idea for a long time, so maybe this would fit nicely into that...
i think that more things to influence clan relations is coming in the next update.. There was a sneak peak on the clangen tumblr of a possible addition :)
coming from someone who is an official beta tester, I have seen nothing of this, and I can't find the post you're referring to, so I expect this is false
It was on discord I think over a month ago and it was just a single screenshot and there hasn't been any follow-up, so it might be coming eventually.
this is all that shows up when I click the mobile link for clangen. Anyone know what’s going on?

Thank you! It works now!

I think it would be interesting to see cats struggling with their issues, and eventually overcome them!
There is a mod that has mental illnesses like bpd, adhd, and depression. It's the Disorders and Disabities mod.
oh thank you! i didnt know this game has mods
Yah there is a mod that like your cats have wings I think 🤔
Yeah! I have that mod.
do you know where I could download that? I don’t have discord to find any mods
I'm not 100% sure, but you can probably find it on github.
Hello! I have a suggestion, maybe you could add the ability to bring back dead cats? Even if they come back as a kit with a different name but it's still them.

Is the 68 days go update new ? I haven't been here in AGES
My last update was the Halloween one
If the latest version of the game on your device was the halloween update, then yes, this one's new.
there hasn't been a major update since Halloween, so this is probably just a patch or something
May as well update anyway, just in case :P
Has there been a fix to relationships so breakups aren't happening so frequently? It would make sense if the pair had poor standing with each other but half the time it's cats with maxed feelings.
Help! I cant full screen ):
back to killing kits.please help! ):there should be an option to fullscreen in your game settings
if that doesn't work then idk
Thank you sooooo much! It worked ^W^
Hi! I love this game but I play it on my laptop (I don't know if this is a problem) and it won't install the new update past 54.4%. Does anyone know how to fix this?
You might not have enough space on your laptop to download the full update
That might be it Thanks!
I'd suggest redownloading the game if it gets stuck updating. You won't lose saves as they are stored separately.
I really like this game and also my cat. Can I use the cat pictures inside as my OC? I won't use it for profit。
So long as you don't claim the sprite as your own or sell it, you can use it as an OC. Best to credit Clangen if you're using the sprites.
can anyone help me with this bug? every time I've tried to download near the end of the download time i get this message " file wasn't available on site " and if this matters i am on a windows 11and I've tried the 64 bit and the 32 bit versions I've been watching videos on this game for so long so if you can find anything to help me please do!

thank you for the suggestion i will try that!
Maybe add a feature where you can reincarnate cats? Just an idea for an update.
What I meant was Chromebook.
there is a guide here!! Official Tech Support Guide to Downloading Clangen - Google Docs go to "CHROMEOS" :)
How can I get ClanGen on my laptop? The WaveBrowser thing just wasn't working and I had to get rid of it. I had a version for a while and then it stopped.
anyone has any idea how I can through windows blocking it?
(My school computer doesnt allow me to turn it off or deny)
im not an expert, but if you dont want it to block i think you just have to change some settings, to block it u just delete it
school computer denies that unfortunately
get a vpn :3

@Toothles2 I reccomend looking it up on the internet, there are some really descriptive videos.
Uhh i don't know what to press on big download file please help me! I'm stuck with outdated online version!!! HELP?
If your device is a 32-bit windows (usually windows 7 and some windows 10 pc’s) than download that one, and 64-bit file for 64-bit pc’s (most windows 10/11 pc’s) if it’s Linux, download one of the versions listed (idk which one, I don’t have a Linux) or if you have a Mac download the Mac file! As far as I know playing on any of those just requires unzipping, searching for clangen.exe in the folder, and if it gets falsely flagged, run it anyway! Hope this helps! :)
how do you play the game once you download it?
unzip the file and search for clangen.exe! :)
anyone know how to update this????
if its a newer version, go into settings and turn on the setting that says smth abt showing updates it will update it and keep the cans, depending on how old it is you might have to redownload it
I don’t know why I can’t download it on my Mac Pro. Can someone please help me with this
can you be more specific? where are you getting stuck?
when I download the game press play then it says something about the application and you have to go into settings to fix it but when I do it doesn’t let me
try right click opening the game? (control click if you can't right click)
