Can't install some games

I can't install some of the games I've added to my collections. When clicking the install button I get an error messge saying "This title is hosted on an incompatible  third-party website". And when I click the View Details button itch-launcher craches.
However, if I go to the itch.io website on my browser and login I can download those games just fine. Is there a workaround for this to make it possible to install them through the itch-launcher or can I add them manually int launcher once I've downloaded them?

The games start just fine by opening them from their location in explorer, but would be nice to be able to install/launch all games from within the itch launcher.

The games I had trouble installing were Cross Realms, Eternum, Deviant Anomalies, Once in a Lifetime & Ripples

The launcher can only download games whose content is hosted on Itch's servers.

All the games you mention, if you check, must be downloaded from external servers like Mega.

When you access them from your browser, you actually open a page for Mega, Driver, Media Fire, etc., and download from those sites, not from Itch.

As far as I know, there's no way around this problem unless the author uploads the content to Itch's servers instead of external servers.

Thanx for clarifying this!
