i just bought witcher trilogy and set them all three to download (70 GB) - because its take long time a was go outside for 5 hours

I just come back and see downloading paused on 10GB / 70GB because game stucked on "redistribute package" after two click on mouse game was instaled and downloading of witcher 2 continued.

My problem is - How to force GOG to download games first? is there that option ?

Thanks for advance

PS: Wake up in middle night is out of question

Unfortunately, on Galaxy, it will ask you to install redistributables during download/install. Typically however it should only ask when you don't currently have those needed packages installed already. At-least that seems to be my experience.

Otherwise you can go to library -> game -> MORE -> Backup & Goodies and grab the standalone installer. Then you can install it latter on manually and import it in Galaxy.

There is no current option to make these install when your first start the game, like Steam does...

They download into a !Downloads folder within the game folder, unless you set a custom location for backups.

No problem, I also would rather GOG handle redistributables like Steam... perhaps we should provide such feedback. :P
