How to Fix “OBB Not Detected” or Game Crashing After APK Install (2025 Fixes)

How to Fix “OBB Not Detected” or Game Crashing After APK Install (2025 Fixes)

You’ve downloaded the APK and OBB.
You installed everything perfectly.
But when you open the game…
❌ It crashes
❌ Or says: “Download failed because the resources could not be found.”

Don’t panic! This is a common issue and it’s usually caused by a small mistake with the OBB files.

This 2025 guide will help you quickly fix OBB errors and get your MOD/APK game running smoothly — especially if you downloaded it from apksmarketplace.com.

❓ Why Does This Happen?

There are 3 main reasons:

Issue

Description

? OBB folder placed in wrong path

The game can’t locate the OBB data

? APK installed before OBB added

The game started without necessary files

? Device blocks access to files

New Android versions block external data

Let’s fix it.

✅ Step-by-Step Fix Guide

? 1. Check the Correct OBB Path

Your OBB folder must be placed exactly here:

? Internal Storage > Android > obb > com.game.name

Example:
For Free Fire:
? Android/obb/com.dts.freefireth

✅ Make sure the final folder has the .obb file inside it.

? 2. Always Move OBB Before Installing the APK

Here’s the correct order:

  1. Extract the OBB zip

  2. Move the OBB folder to Android/obb/

  3. THEN install the APK

  4. Launch the game

❌ If you install the APK first, it may create a new (empty) folder and cause the OBB to be ignored.

? 3. Use ZArchiver to Move Files

Some phones block access to OBB folders through normal file managers.

✅ Fix: Use ZArchiver, which can bypass most restrictions and move OBB files safely.

? Download ZArchiver from apksmarketplace.com/tools

? 4. Restart Your Phone

After placing the OBB and installing the APK, restart your phone.
It clears system cache and helps Android re-index game files.

? 5. Disable Play Store Auto-Update

If you install a MOD version and Play Store updates it, the app may crash or revert.

✅ Fix:

  • Go to Play Store > App page

  • Tap ⋮ and uncheck “Enable auto-update”

? For Android 13/14 Users

Some new Android versions restrict access to the Android/obb/ folder completely.

✅ Fixes:

  • Use ZArchiver or MT Manager (not default file manager)

  • If on MIUI (Xiaomi), turn off MIUI Optimization in Developer Options

  • If still blocked, use root or Shizuku tools (advanced users only)

? Still Not Working? Try This:

  • ❌ Uninstall the app

  • ? Clear cache/data from Settings

  • ? Reinstall using the correct order:

    1. Move OBB → 2. Install APK → 3. Launch

If it asks to download resources again, your OBB is missing or misnamed.
