Unable to download or run games using itch.io flatpak

Hi there,

Yesterday I downloaded the itch.io flatpak and downloaded a few games from my library after selecting my HDD (The OS and itch app are installed to my SSD) as the download location. I was able to download and install the games through the app without issue. I did not actually run any of the games at this time.

The next day, I started up my computer again and attempted to download a new game through the itch app. It said it was unable to, as my install location had -1 bytes of storage available (see attachment 1). When I tried installing it anyway, I got an error saying "creating staging folder: mkdir /run/user/1000/doc/bba535e7/Games: operation not permitted" (attachment 2)

When I tried launching a previously installed game from yesterday, it said the folder where the game was installed doesn't exist anymore. Selecting the "open parent directory" option does nothing. I reselected the proper path on my HDD as the install location again, which brought all my games back, but when I went to start my previously installed game, I got a very long error it won't let me copy/paste, but the message at the top was non-zero exit code 1 (1) (attachment 3)

I should probably mention, when I select the install location, I'm selecting /run/media/system/Games/itch.io/Gamesthrough the file browser, but it gets changed to /run/user/1000/doc/[random characters]/Games in the app when I actually hit "ok"


Is there anything I can do to fix this issue or help with any troubleshooting? Please let me know and I'll get back as soon as I can!
