Hey i just tryed to forcefeed my computer clan gen but this keeps popping up, and i also am on ASUS laptop at the moment... and i downloaded the third option, is it just i need to download another one? I am so confused but i need to play this awesome game! I tryed the online version but i want to play the way more awesome version!
Hey!!! I had the same issue and it took me THREE HOURS to troubleshoot despite seemingly doing everything correct. I tried the steps over and over and over, but EVENTUALLY the only way I got the game working was by downloading the itch.io desktop app AND THEN downloading ClanGen from there. When I switched to that method it only took me 1-2 tries. Hope this helps!!!
Really wanted to download this again!!- But my computer absolutelyyyy hates it, I tried following the devlog but it refuses to let me restore the file and protect it from my antivirus T,T
So you open your settings. Then you go to security/privacy. There you can do a scan that will show all threats. The lifegen/clangen is classified as a trojan virus. There is a bar next to it that says Allow on device, and Don't Allow on device. That is how you do it on windows. Good luck!
Antiverus detects it for some reason but it's safe dw everyone
I haven't progressed that far into the game but so far it's a masterpiece in everyway, please add warfare I want to cause chaos and distrub the harmony in the forest
I finally got the game open (Tysm) but now it won't let me switch clans. I had been playing for a while and it let me switch clans and now this pops up everytime I want to switch clans
And then it closes lifegen. I re-downloaded, restarted my device, and checked my virus protection (it allowed it). Ever since the update there have been problems.
I don't think I can really report it without more information on the issue unfortunately. and I definitely can't report modded bugs, so if you're playing lifegen then I can't do much about it at all
Okay, I did figure it out though. I don't know what I did....I deleted ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL of the files and then reloaded like fifty times. I figured it out, though I don't know how.... lol XD
I've played clangen and lifegen. Lifegen just came out with a new update that makes it unable for me to access it. I tried to download again and I extracted the files, but the game file won't pop up. What do I do?
Ive downloaded the game and played it before but now my computer says the file is a virus and it wont allow me to access the game. Any suggestions on what I could do
The online version isnt working as it doesnt load and after loading shows me a black screen.The game used to always work,but now it doesnt.Also I see many people have extra things and features in their game and mine doesnt.Is this just a mod?Anyways.Please help me

please join the discord server instead of commenting on this page! we have tech support. you should get a much faster and more efficient response than you will here. https://discord.gg/clangen
If you don't have any other option than to comment here (for instance, you don't have discord and can't get it): -list your operating system (Mac, Windows, Linux?) -what issue are you having? did it give you some kind of error? -any other info you might have on the problem?
Literally anything is better than "help, how do I do it, it doesn't work!"
I wish I could download on Chromebook. if you know how please tell me. I do play the online version and I love it but it can be hard to find in all of my many tabs.
The linked website doesn't seem to work on my pc (A Lenovo Thinkstation) and I was wondering why? I was going to download the app regardless but it's laggy and doesn't fit on the screen nor function correctly. Fullscreen makes it worse!
Again this is just a heads up for future references.
i have no windows computer😭 can you make it on for phones pls-i rlly wanna play it(I'M NOT WASTING MY MONEY ON A COMPUTER AGAIN) pls make it for phones, I will rage if I don't play it😭😭

I think it will work on windows 11 am not sure I am on Mac maybe id you scroll down to the 12 day category press the link if you are having trouble and I think you will get infomation from there
I have Clangen on an pc, but recently started using another one, I copied all the files and put them on a bluetooth. The files were already extracted when I copied them and when I opened the game my data was not there. If I extract the files on the bluetooth will the data be there or will they will always be stuck on the other computer?
To run it on Linux you download, unpack the first .zip and the .tar.gz file, then run ./Clangen in the main directory.
To run on Chromebooks you can go into your Developer settings, enable Linux, and then follow the above instructions though your mileage may vary if you can't understand where your ~/Downloads directory lives
You can also use the website, instead of complaining that it might be a version or two behind please give some money (€1-5) to the developers to help give them the resources to keep your fan game going.
i tried to play it on github, and it worked! i closed the tab twice bc i had to get off, and now it just shows a black screen... any suggestions to fix this?
I can't seem to access the exe file or deport it. I have no idea if it is a glitch or not, just hope it can be fixed but if it can't it is probably just my computer acting up.
I would love to download the game as long as it is not marked as a virus, usually i would ignore the warning but if it is called a trojan virus i am not very keen on ignoring that one...I hope that this might be fixed soon!
Install > open files > make your firewall/windows 'security' accept the 'Trojan' [it isn't a Trojan] Clangen folder onto your computer > open the downloaded files > extract all > if a pop-up shows saying 'windows ''protected'' your pc', click 'Read More' and then the 'Allow' button > look up 'Clangen.exe' on the search-bar in your taskbar > open the game > pin to your taskbar for quick-travel
I downloaded the first Linux download for my Chromebook, but I can't open it. At all. I really wanna play without getting my cats deleted and being able to do the challenges. Also the web version NEVER loads in for me. I left my poor Chromebook running for an hour (never rested) and it still didn't run. Is there an app I need to install to open it or something? And that apps it wants me to open them with just...don't work.

It seems like the file was deleted. It did that for me when it was deleted on accident. I just reloaded
have you tried win64? or the windows 10 version? (or as the other person said the file might be deleted)
thats what i'm doing at the moment ITS FRICKEN NOT WORKING AAAAA *i'm screaming at my laptop- not you lol*
Could you perhaps add me on discord if you have it? ill try to help as it has not worker for me at first either

good to know- i don't have any time right now but once i'm troubleshooting again i will! TYSM
Really wanted to download this again!!- But my computer absolutelyyyy hates it, I tried following the devlog but it refuses to let me restore the file and protect it from my antivirus T,T
You can go to your windows security and force-allow it on your device, I did that.
can you tell me how to force-allow it? I've been trying foreveeeeeeeeer. Like the last 2 weeks!
So you open your settings. Then you go to security/privacy. There you can do a scan that will show all threats. The lifegen/clangen is classified as a trojan virus. There is a bar next to it that says Allow on device, and Don't Allow on device. That is how you do it on windows. Good luck!
Antiverus detects it for some reason but it's safe dw everyone
I haven't progressed that far into the game but so far it's a masterpiece in everyway, please add warfare I want to cause chaos and distrub the harmony in the forest
lol, but I do too. I play Lifegen and I'm plotting to kill leader to become leader because I'm deputy...So maybe I could if I'm leader?
Wait how do I download mods for this?
You can search up lifegen, it is the same download as clangen
but then game crashed and said that it was a virus 😑
unfortunately yeah, it does that :( it isn't a virus, Windows Defender just hates it
I love warrior cats,and I’ve always wanted to make a clan of my own, I did and my clan’s name is lunar clan
I finally got the game open (Tysm) but now it won't let me switch clans. I had been playing for a while and it let me switch clans and now this pops up everytime I want to switch clans
And then it closes lifegen. I re-downloaded, restarted my device, and checked my virus protection (it allowed it). Ever since the update there have been problems.
any chance you could join the discord to ask about this, or report the bug on github? I've not seen this before
no I can't... srry. Is there a chance you could report it to the creators???
I don't think I can really report it without more information on the issue unfortunately. and I definitely can't report modded bugs, so if you're playing lifegen then I can't do much about it at all
Okay, I did figure it out though. I don't know what I did....I deleted ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL of the files and then reloaded like fifty times. I figured it out, though I don't know how.... lol XD

tysm for the advice, really appreciate it
Is there any way to make the cats have kits? They never want to so my clan keeps shrinking :(
I like to use the mediator to increase romantic intrest.
*Excuse the spelling
hii
Uh I only use mobile (phone +iPad)
And I dont use discord..
The online version isnt working as it doesnt load and after loading shows me a black screen.The game used to always work,but now it doesnt.Also I see many people have extra things and features in their game and mine doesnt.Is this just a mod?Anyways.Please help me
Online version is pretty far behind the downloadable version unfortunately. So that's why there's not as many features

i wonder why they had to make it a download game... probably because of Itch.io breaking?
I think you can run it through the itch.io launcher but I don't remember how
i wish it was playable without download
same
how do younplayy
depends on your operating system
generally you download the game, extract it (if on Windows), add it to your Applications folder (if on Mac), and then open it
couldn’t play:(
ok
what's your operating system, and do you have any more information? I can't help you with no info on the problem
fun game
could clangen win64 work on a windows 10? my laptop flags the windows 10 file but not the win64 for some reason
It might- I'd give it a go and see if it does.
If not, see the latest devlog post regarding antivirus issues.

My laptop keeps flagging this as a virus, it wont let me download it at all. Is there anyway to give the app permissions to download it??
see the latest devlog post regarding antivirus issues!
i have no windows computer😭 can you make it on for phones pls-i rlly wanna play it(I'M NOT WASTING MY MONEY ON A COMPUTER AGAIN) pls make it for phones, I will rage if I don't play it😭😭
The dev linked a website where you can play it on a browser. There's no need to be so rude.
how do u play on a 2020 covid cromebook 0_0
if your chromebook is stuck in 2020 and has covid then you likely have bigger problems than playing Clangen on it /j
in all seriousness though, check out the guide to downloading. past that I can't really help, I'm not experienced enough with Chromebook

for some reason I can't find the red install button{am on Mac} can't include pic bcuz idk how to take pics
the download buttons are green I believe
(screenshot on a Mac is command-shift-5 btw!)
if ur the creator or kno the creator, pls tell them to make it on iPhones😭 because I will not waste my money on a windows computer that will get messed up again😭😭
I'm not the original creator or even a dev, I'm a tech helper in the official Discord.
Lots of people have asked for a mobile version, but there are not currently plans to make one.
is this game good on windows 11? Like does this game work on windows 11?
I think it will work on windows 11 am not sure I am on Mac maybe id you scroll down to the 12 day category press the link if you are having trouble and I think you will get infomation from there
not the discord one!
I have Clangen on an pc, but recently started using another one, I copied all the files and put them on a bluetooth. The files were already extracted when I copied them and when I opened the game my data was not there. If I extract the files on the bluetooth will the data be there or will they will always be stuck on the other computer?
Are you sure you moved your save files, and not your game files? Game files by themselves won't transfer your saves.
I might sound dumb but... Wich are the save files and wich are the game files?
Sorry... I really don't know.
Game files are in the folder you downloaded Clangen with, I believe (or accessed through right click > show package contents if you're on mac)
Save files are in your data directory, accessed through the button in your game settings
So, If I copy the data on the bluetooth what do I do next?
Does the data get in the game by itself?
nvm I did it! I feel accomplished. I'm really bad at computer stuff, so I feel quite good.
Thanks so much for always helping out Laurel!
it won't let me play the game, well I don't know how to get to the game.
did you download it? where are you at, and what OS is your computer on?
I updated it but I can't find the exe file now
this might be your antivirus eating the exe- see the devlog post relating to antivirus issues
To run it on Linux you download, unpack the first .zip and the .tar.gz file, then run ./Clangen in the main directory.
To run on Chromebooks you can go into your Developer settings, enable Linux, and then follow the above instructions though your mileage may vary if you can't understand where your ~/Downloads directory lives

i tried to play it on github, and it worked! i closed the tab twice bc i had to get off, and now it just shows a black screen... any suggestions to fix this?
here's what i'm talking about:
how do i run it on
hard to say without knowing anything
generally you download the game, extract it (windows) or put it in your applications folder (mac), then open it
im trying to load it on my chrombook but i cant?
my chromebook thinks this is a virus..
False flag! dw, it probably thinks it's a virus because it's a file-download.
To play on Chromebook you'll either need to use Linux mode or a Windows shim. Maybe this comment will help; https://itch.io/post/10767902
YOU NEED WINDOWS AND SO DO I, DW MY AUNT IS ON THE WAY
I can't seem to access the exe file or deport it. I have no idea if it is a glitch or not, just hope it can be fixed but if it can't it is probably just my computer acting up.
I would love to download the game as long as it is not marked as a virus, usually i would ignore the warning but if it is called a trojan virus i am not very keen on ignoring that one...I hope that this might be fixed soon!
It is a false flag; the file is safe and the game is open source- you can go through the code yourself if you want to.
The devlog post regarding antivirus issues has instructions for bypassing this.
is this a virus?
No.
so i downloaded this but idk how to actually load the actual game on my pc and start playing its in my files but ya
generally you need to extract the game and then run the .exe file
im tryna load it on my cromebook but its not loading do i need to install it???
dude samee

My laptop keeps thinking its a threat, is this normal?
Hi! Does it say "Show More"? Clicking that should show you a download button!
I already have it downloaded it just detects it as a trojan but I can still run it (if that helps explain anything)
nvm I just read the description I kinda just skipped over that part when downloading
Highly recommend joining the discord-
There are dev logs, help, experimental versions, but also things from the community like challenges, mods, and art.
Does anyone know when Cruel Season comes out in clangen? And in lifegen can u choose to declare a war?
Cruel Season does not have a set release date; neither does anything else.
I don't know much about Lifegen. My guess would be that if your cat is leader you can do that sort of thing?
Okay, thanks, that is really helpful, I'll have to expirement with lifegen thing
