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?
I’ve never used Heroic, so I can’t say what to expect, but I’ve never had any issues downloading games via the GoG website.
Have you tried that? Maybe it’s faster?
Though, honestly, I think i might just be some outage on GoGs side. If the downloads via the website are slow too, it might be worth talking to their support.
Well I’ve contacted GOG’s support and we’ll see what they say. If it’s still like this in a week or two, I’ll just never order games again on GOG despite wanting to support them and really own my games.
