Storage access bug

Hello. It appears there is a problem storage access to some apps, mostly games. I have tested this with two games: Call of Duty Mobile and Apex Legends Mobile. Call of duty mobile instantly crashes upon launch. I have emailed the developers but they haven't done anything. Apex Legends tells me I haven't given storage permission, even though it is enabled in the settings. In the settings, I can only give it access to media files and that may be the issue. I'd like to know if anyone else is facing this issue.
I am on the latest software update (31.1010.0410.72), not on any beta version and my device is not rooted. I am looking forward to steps to fix this issue or a software update to address this. Thanks in advance.

What I could recommend is to delete them and download them again, that way you'll be able to enable the permissions again.
Thanks but I have tried that multiple times. Also tried clearing cache and app data of the games after downloading. The issue still occurs even after this.
I might have the same!
I have an app that reads from an Shell script.
This shell script is located in the download folder (as it should be freely accessible).
However, once in a while the app is returning the answer that Permission to the file is denied. For days it goes well and then suddly I got this error.
When I reboot, everything works fine again.
I granted the app all the permissions , and indeed only access to media files can be allowed.
Strange irregular behaviour.

Out of pure curiosity, are you both on Android 12? Because I have heard about some apps having issues with it and the developers are at work to solve them.
Yes, I'm on 12, firmware is .72 out of my head (latest one available)
Yes. Android 12. Software update 31.1010.0410.72. I'm from Europe and I have the launch model if that helps with anything.
Any news on this one?
