Help: Having issues running a downloaded game? Follow these troubleshooting tips:

Before downloading games, please disable your anti-virus and Windows Defender. These programs may mistakenly identify crack files as threats and block them, which can prevent games from launching. To avoid having to re-download files, restore any quarantined items from your anti-virus vault. For ease, we suggest adding game folders to your anti-virus exclusions list.

Additionally, check for Redist folders and install any necessary runtimes such as DirectX, Visual C++, and .NET Framework. This step typically resolves most missing DLL errors.

To address “game not saving” errors, run games as Administrator. Simply right-click the game executable and choose “Run as Administrator” from the menu.

Note: “Hotlink protection” errors occur when you copy-paste download links instead of downloading directly from our site. Brave browser is also currently unable to download our files.

For JDownloader users: Instead of using the UploadHaven link, copy the actual download URL from your browser’s Ctrl+J dialog. Then, paste this direct download link into JDownloader. This workaround helps avoid hotlink protection issues.
