Common Questions

How do I download a game from Koyso?

Open the game's page and press the Download button. On the download page, choose one of the download links and wait for the short countdown to finish, then click "Click to Download" to go to the file host. If a link does not work, go back and try another one.

Do I need an account or have to pay?

No. You do not need to register, sign in or pay to browse or download games on Koyso. Games you want to keep track of can be saved to My Library, which is stored in your own browser.

How do I extract and install the game?

Most games are packed as .zip or .rar archives. Extract them with WinRAR or 7-Zip (right-click the file and choose "Extract here"). If the archive asks for a password, it is shown on the download page. Then follow the installation steps on the game's page, usually running the setup or the game's .exe file as administrator.

The game says a .dll file is missing. How do I fix it?

A missing .dll error (for example MSVCP140.dll, VCRUNTIME140.dll or d3dx9_43.dll) means a Windows runtime is not installed. Open the Redist (or _CommonRedist) folder inside the game folder and install everything in it, such as Visual C++ Redistributables, DirectX and .NET. Restart your PC and run the game again.

Why does my antivirus flag the game files?

Packed installers and modified game executables are often reported as a false positive by antivirus heuristics, even when they are harmless. Still, scan every download with an up-to-date antivirus, only download through the links on Koyso, and never run files you do not trust. If you are unsure about a file, do not run it and let us know.

What should I check if a game will not start?

Make sure your PC meets the system requirements listed on the game's page, install everything in the Redist folder, update your graphics drivers, and run the game as administrator. Extracting to a short folder path without special characters (for example C:\Games) also helps.

A download link is broken. How do I report it?

Send us the URL of the game's page through the Contact page and tell us which link failed. We check reports and replace broken links as soon as we can.

Can I request a game?

Yes. Use the Contact page with the name of the game you want, and we will consider adding it.

Which systems are supported?

Koyso lists PC games for Windows. Each game's page shows the Windows version, processor, memory, graphics card and storage it needs.
