About

---

Itch.io is an in progress desktop application that you can download and run games from itch.io with. Additionally you should be able to update games and get notified when games are updated. The goal is not to replace the itch.io website.

Key files

For historical purposes, the files/functions below are involved in the current implementation:

• desktop file
• ep_install_itchio
• Itch.io launcher

Installing

---

Due to current issues building from scratch (uses newer Sid packages), a precompiled Debian package is installed and configured by the desktop-software.sh script hook. See ep_install_itchio here.

Currently Itch.io functions in Desktop Mode, but not fully in BPM yet

cd SteamOS-Tools
./desktop-software.sh install itchio

Add "Itch.io" as a non-Steam game in Settings > Add Library Shortcut.

Issues

---

This application is under heavy development.

I get "Error on login: socket hang up"

This often happens with nNetwork issues. Reboot SteamOS.

I can't launch games after installing them on SteamOS BPM

This is being actively looked at. Games launch in Desktop mode, but not BPM.
