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:
- Extract the OBB zip
- Move the OBB folder to Android/obb/
- THEN install the APK
- 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:
- Move OBB → 2. Install APK → 3. Launch
If it asks to download resources again, your OBB is missing or misnamed.
? Common Game OBB Paths
Game | OBB Folder Path |
Free Fire | Android/obb/com.dts.freefireth |
PUBG Mobile | Android/obb/com.tencent.ig |
GTA Vice City | Android/obb/com.rockstargames.gtavc |
Asphalt 9 | Android/obb/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA9HM |
COD Mobile | Android/obb/com.activision.callofduty.shooter |
? Pro Tips
