I’m trying to support GOG by buying some games for my Steam Deck (my only gaming pc), but the downloads through Heroic are really slow compared to Steam.
Since you can’t do any background downliading on Heroic on the Deck, I tried downloading the games on my desktop PC through Heroic and importing them on the Deck. Still it’s really slow…
Downloading directly on GOG is also really slow, so I wondered how you were doing it since I can’t have a 40gb game taking 5 hours to download.
Especially because turning off the Deck or my weak computer means starting from scratch again.
I’m on Linux for everything by the way.
How do you manage this?
Well downloading on my desktop PC gives me the same slow speeds so it doesn’t help.
Especially because weirdly, turning off the computer meant starting at 0% again.
While all of thos could be true, downloading on your PC should be possible to queue multiple games, and doesn’t require you to leave your steam deck turned on. Go for that nostalgic overnight download vibe.
