correct, something is going on in itch.  I am thinking it has to do with that I changed the download folder location after i downloaded but before i installed the game.  After work I will check it out and see if i can fix it, pretty sure I can, but have to go train this guy right now. He's been waiting for about 30 minutes now, i am such a bad boss sometimes, lol.

I am having the same problem. The game downloaded and when it was done, the install button shows up in my library instead of the Launch button.

Interesting.

SugeBearX have you tried seeing if the game is extracted in the %appdata%/roaming/itch/app directory? And running the game directly from there instead of via itch?

Hi guys -- the problem is on our end.  Fixing now -- our apologies!

In the meantime, you can look for AvenColony.exe on your hard drive and just run that manually!

Thank you Paul, I was going nuts trying to figure it out.  I am a problem solver and wouldn't have rested tonight until I got it figured out.  BTW, love this game, recommending it to everyone.

try to download winrar, there is a free trial, once the game downloads you can use that to unpack it.  Once unpacked it will run fine.

Hmm, there should definitely be more than a manifest.txt in there!

We are working with itch.io to resolve the bug; there are some issues with the logic in the launcher.

We are working with itch.io support to help them resolve the situation, but in the meantime, if you have problems running the game through the launcher, here's what to do:

We've added the following to our FAQ:

  • If you've already downloaded the game via the launcher, look for AvenColony.exe in your itch install directory (or search on your hard drive if you don't know where that is).  It should say 0.1.12852 BETA in the lower left corner when you run the game.
  • Failing that, we recommend downloading directly from the itch.io website.  Players who download directly, without using the launcher, are reporting no issues.

It should be a simple zip file. Windows will auto-extract that by just right clicking -> Extract All
