PC: extract, don’t overwrite.
Make a new folder, extract the ZIP, open the included launcher or executable, then only replace an older folder after testing the new build.
PRACTICAL GUIDES
Install, update and troubleshoot without wrecking your save.
A short, version-aware checklist for PC and Android fan builds.
Android: check the build label first.
Community APK mirrors can offer different language builds and can lag behind PC releases. Scan the file, enable unknown-source installation only for the app you used, then disable it again.
Updates: save the old working copy.
Keep your current folder until the new build starts and saves correctly. A version title is not a guarantee of compatibility.
Performance: simplify before adding tools.
Close heavy background apps, use a short ASCII-only PC path, extract completely, and avoid layered compatibility tweaks unless the build’s own notes require them.
