Quota reached. It's all hosted on Gdrive, One drive or the likes and when a file hits quota, then that's that. Lots and lots of leeches use this app, no wonder popular files hit quota fast.
Can you try Mario tennis aces or yooka laylee please?

Please do educate me how DNS works. Because what you describe sure as heck makes no sense. (I'm a network technician at trade)
TXShop is soon available as concurrent from their other company called 'StargateNX'!
Amazing advancements and TXShop is totally not owned by Team-Xecuter or any company affiliated to it.
TXShop has one big improvement over the others: a cool and epic logo!
Now this is epic.

it is simple, google's DNS name servers know the IP of the DNS server that is querying them for the DNS record. They make the assumption (which is usually correct) that the end user is near their DNS server (at least on the same continent), so they return the download server that they think has the best route to the DNS server. So google does geoip lookups on your DNS server's IP (and some other metric trickery) to return what it believes is the best server for you. Using 90DNS fucks this up, and returns servers that google things 90DNS has the best route to, not the end user.

That's not what I ask. I very well aware how geoip lookup works and loadbalancing It's meassured by ping, a lot of ISPs got Google Server(s) at their datacenters.
But how 90DNS can slow your downloads down. I wanna know how this work. Yes, DNS lookups can be slower, but once your lookup is done and stored in the cache. It would make zero difference.

The theory (not that I am supporting it) is that 90DNS (the public service of course, not run-your-own) will return IP addresses for Google Drive servers located in the region where they are located, so potentially distant from where you, the user are and thus potentially slow(er). The underlying assumption is that upstream DNS servers queried by 90DNS return different results for different request sources.
Because downloading a file from Google's server in France is slower than downloading the same file from a server in the US if you're in the US.
Since Google is returning the URL for the file in their France server, you're stuck with slower speeds.
But if you have your own server, you will always return the IP address from your home, so it's bound to always be closer to you than Google's server.
We're talking about DNS queries right? Gdrive is a different thing in total compared to speed of DNS queries. If you speak about Geo lookup and close to Gdrive datacenters, by all means yes. That's a different beast. Also if Google doesn't check depending on where your IP is from, it's flawed. Since a majority of all DNS queries always go to the root DNSes.
Google, for reasons that don't even begin to make sense to me, relies on your DNS server instead of IP Geo when selecting which CDN to serve you content from. Been a thing for a long time.
Who even coded that? Amazon is a heck of lot better then and I even complain about it being slow. But then again, if I download from France it won't affect me.
I got an idea I gonna poke @AveSatanas about, resolving this issue, since it's an easy fix.
Every major CDN employs this trick: google, amazon, akamai.
Can you explain what y our plan is for 90DNS? The only solution I see, is for 90DNS to set up multiple servers across the globe (or fake it with multiple VPN's).
It's called ECS. Allows a DNS server to pass part of your IP to the authoritative DNS servers. Only a handful DNS servers support it, such as Google, OpenDNS and Quad9's 9.9.9.11.
I could support it with a single server, through the single server, no need for VPNs or whatever, but... it also means that users would get a lower level of privacy. I don't think that users would want that. I can do a poll or whatever if enough people ask for it IG. Hope that makes sense.
Also "The google server 90DNS returns for me is 10x slower than the server my local DNS returns." -> Your ISP has poor peering, complain to them, not me.

No worries, she is already doing it. And she explained to me why it might be why your localtion cannot be found, since she isn't forwarding that info for security reasons.
Whether or not my ISP has good or poor peering is irrelevant to the issue. The IP my ISP's DNS returns is correct, 90DNS' is not. Its an issue that affects a huge amount of users. You could ask all of the user's to write their ISP to complain about peering to Timbuktu, or they can just not use 90DNS.
Though I agree with you, that it is a privacy issue to forward the user's IP to the DNS servers. Normally it would not be, when its coming from the user's noirmal DNS server, that is normal DNS traffic. However for their IP to come from your IP, allows tracking of 90DNS users.
There are other issues too, but the only good solution is to not use 90DNS.
Best is not to use hbg and get the stuff else where if you ask me. More updated and less hassle! (I miss the not team)

Pondered about the switch, but had bought the pokemon one not long ago and I don't really need two switches (gave my previous one to a cousin). -
