This is a quite annoying bug, Where basically, some games I know are installed, and can in fact still play bypassing desura (I use game links in steam, for example), but are registering as not ready on desura, and would need to be verified before I play them. Another reason this is rather irritating, is that i am pretty certain I am missing game updates on it, such as for Gnomoria...I could verify each and every game, but that would be very time consuming, and even more irritating if it were to happen again. Anyone know if there's a way to fix this without verifying each and every game?

Been 4 or 5 days now, anyone at all have a clue?

I have this issue as well. Why is Desura not responding or fixing their broken client?

I have the same issue with just one game. Got Thrust Control as a gift. It installs, but the next time the client starts up, there is it saying Not Ready. I have tried every installation method and none of them work. I have tried deleting the game and reinstalling it. Same deal. Why won't this one game stay installed?

Can you list the games this is not working for?

What OS are you running?

Jul 17 2013 Anchor

Win7 64-bit.

If it helps, the console is saying: " Installed Thrust Control for game explorer" everytime I start Desura up also.

I have a similar problem. I was having the Desura crashes after sign in problem, which I had solved, as I have many times before. I then went to play the mod I just got, Project Reality: Battlefield 2, and was greeted with every single game and mod being either "not ready" or "not installed." "Ok," I said, "no biggie, I'll just reinstall; my internet's not too bad." When i double clicked PR:BF2 to reinstall, a little window popped up, showing me the game's install progress, which read immediately 6 or so gigabites out of 6, apparently fully downloaded. This menu stayed and did not move, at all, or close, or anything. Needless to say, I have not played anything yet. HL2 is on Desura and Steam, and I can play it with all of my mods off of Steam, but Desura thinks it's not installed. This is, quite frankly, pissing me the hell off.
