Flaming Flagon v1.07 community · Created a new topic Using MEGA to host the game files prevents update notifications.
The Itch app won't recognize that you've downloaded a game if it uses external file hosting (MEGA, MediaFire, etc.) for the download, and it obviously can't push update notifications for games it can't tell that you have.
This affects both PC users with the official app and Android users with the unofficial one.
Please revert to using Itch's own file hosting if at all possible.
Just wanted to point out that the Itch.io app (PC) can't notify anyone about updates if you host the file on MediaFire due to a lack of compatibility. Not sure what other sites (if any) would be compatible, but regardless it would be ideal from our end if you could allow us to download updates directly from here instead of being redirected to another website.
