F.A.Q

F.A.Q – Frequently Asked Questions

Safety & Trust

Is this website safe to download from?

Yes. CroTorrents is completely safe to download from. All torrents are carefully checked before being posted, and we regularly verify that downloads still work. We do not bundle installers, toolbars, or any junk software – only the game files and what’s needed to run them.

As with any PC gaming setup, always keep your system updated, use a trusted torrent client, and follow the instructions on each game page.

Antivirus & False Positives

If there are no viruses, why did my antivirus pick up a trojan?

Most antivirus programs are very aggressive with anything related to game cracks or modified launchers. These files are what let the game run without a purchase, so security software often flags them as a “crack”, “hacktool”, or “trojan” even when they’re safe. This is called a false positive.

If your antivirus removes a file, the game may fail to launch, crash, or show errors. The safest approach is:

  • Temporarily disable your antivirus or Windows Defender while installing the game.
  • Add the game folder to your antivirus/Defender exclusions/whitelist.
  • After that, re-enable your protection so everything else on your PC stays safe.

All downloads on CroTorrents are checked and clean before being uploaded.

Download Button Issues

I clicked “Download Torrent” but nothing opened. What do I do?

If the green “Torrent Download” button doesn’t open anything:

  • Make sure you have a torrent client installed (such as uTorrent or qBittorrent).
  • Ensure your browser is allowed to open magnet links with your torrent client.
  • Try a different browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, etc.).

Missing / Corrupted Files

My files are corrupted or missing after I downloaded the game.

If your game is missing files, crashes on launch, or shows errors:

  1. In your torrent client, right-click the torrent and choose “Force Re-Check”. This scans the torrent and re-downloads any missing or corrupted parts.
  2. If the issue continues, your antivirus or Windows Defender most likely deleted a required file. Disable your antivirus temporarily, add the game folder to exclusions, then re-download or reinstall the game.

Game Won’t Launch / Crashes

I’m having problems running my game. How do I fix it?

Most issues are caused by missing runtimes, blocked files, or not running the game with the right permissions. Go through this quick checklist:

  • Install the latest DirectX and Visual C++ Redistributables (see the Troubleshoot page).
  • Temporarily disable antivirus/Defender and add the game folder to exclusions.
  • Run the game as Administrator: right-click the game EXE → Properties → Compatibility → check “Run this program as administrator” → Apply → OK.
  • Use “Force Re-Check” in your torrent client to ensure no files are missing.
