Apparently some files did not download properly and now the installer tells me that it can't read some cryptically named temporary file.

That's a bit annoying after having the installer run for an entire hour. How can I fix this?

Re downloading 120gb and waiting another hour after that to find out if it worked this time seems very unappealing.

So I would appreciate some checksums or an installer with proper error handling. I know the latter might be pretty difficult, as there is a reason the current error message is worthless. So I guess checksums it is?

Using the galaxy client is also not an option I wanted to escape stupid dongles. Also checksums would be very easy and obvious.

Edit:
Ooops, I copy pasted the name of the game like 3 times into the support bot I forgot to post it here:
Middle-earth™: Shadow of War™

Would have totally bought that day 1 without, well look at the list of difference between the GoG and the day 1 version. Those reasons.

Daniel.90: So I would appreciate some checksums
You can try this user script and see if it still works. Some on the forum have reported difficulties trying to get checksums off the GOG servers lately, so it may be outdated.

GOG Galaxy makes use of checksums and can be used solely to download the offline installers.

What part is the one failing? You can re download just that part from the store.
If you are using Galaxy there is an option to repair the installation as far as I know (this could be outdated, I just used Galaxy once long time ago)

One 4Gb file, thankfully not the whole 120Gb again.

Can't hurt to do a disk scan.

My experience with javascript is very limited.
According to my understanding the script should load on ".../en/account..." due to the rule ".../*/...".

And the script should write the string:
var s_us_startup = 'GOG Checksum Lookup loaded.';

on load via:
// ------------------------------------------------------------------
// MAIN
// ------------------------------------------------------------------

// Begin when the page has loaded.
window.addEventListener('load', function () {
console.log(s_us_startup);
detectProductChange();
})

I assume that's just how tampermonkey handles usersrcripts right? Some logic hooks into the browser page fully loaded event and then runs whatever is below that "Main" comment.

And then the script should add Buttons to the site. Which it doesn't. I tried manually calling:
enableButton()

Via debug console but that tells me that the function is not defined.
And here is where my inexperience with javascript comes in:
Is my understanding of this "main" correct?
Where should the start up string show up?
Did I just try to call the enableButton() function from the wrong namespace?

Those problems/questions are obviously interlinked by more implied questions. Like: Did it actually run? Is it compatible with my usersrcipt addon? etc...

I will try that if the userscript fails. I did not know that.

Could always just snag the .xml files manually. Start an offline installer download (exe or bin), stop the download, copy the still-valid link, add .xml on the end, start that download to open/save the xml. Read and grab the MD5 checksum.

If you can't get the xml to load due to an error, try adding an extra slash before the filename.

I save these xmls with each installer file. Quick reference if I need to validate an archived file.

I don't normally allow add-ons to touch sensitive sites like GOG, but the script at least seems fine at a glance, so I tried it out.

As you can see, it runs on the page, as indicated by the Violentmonkey pop-up menu. So maybe try disabling Tampermonkey and install that instead.
Then with the "Download offline backup game installers" section expanded, click the Checksums button to display them. If the section is collapsed, you'll just get a checkmark next to the button and no checksums will actually be inserted.

Daniel.90: Apparently some files did not download properly and now the installer tells me that it can't read some cryptically named temporary file.
My German is a bit rusty, but I wonder if the problem is that it can't extract that said file from the offline installer, or that is has extracted it, but that extracted file can't be used.

That is, whether it is the installer that is corrupted (in which case the fix is probably to redownload that particular installer file), or whether that extracted oddly named file is corrupted (in which case redownloading won't help, and it is GOG that should fix the original installer).

Then again, if it was the latter, I presume lots of others would have reported the problem already, as well.

phaolo: Did you reply with the wrong account? lol
wrong person? No.... only more commenting that since GoG has 4Gb parts then if you identify the part you can just get that. Although yes he was not the person with the issue, more appending. Though i suppose that can be confusing.

Timboli: Here are the file sizes and checksums for the game.
I've tried to experiment with merging and reparting the sizes, as such if the file size doesn't already match the installer exe's expected size (or file count) it will complain and let you know. The 4Gb files will always be the same size, so those are far less important than the exe and the last file. The MD5 sums are far more valuable though. Say doesn't md5sum put the sum first? But i guess that doesn't matter.

Looking at other large games. I just realized the 1.bin is slightly smaller than the others in the middle until the last(of course being the last amount).

Thanks for the comparisons, I thought a few of my games were broken, but still functioned.

All the .bin files have their MD5 checksums inside the .exe file. Open the .exe in a text editor and search for GOGCRCSTRING. It should be towards the end of the .exe, and after the checksums.

Yes, that is correct, but they are individual content checksums, for each file in that EXE or BIN file. It takes far longer to check than the single checksum for each download EXE or BIN file, which I guess you can see as a sort of master checksum, that basically says whether your file downloaded okay or not.

The individual content checksums check on whether each contained file is the same as it was before being compiled into that EXE or BIN file package. The best way to check these, but much slower than just checking the master download checksum, is to do so using InnoExtract ... or you could use my program GOGPlus Download Checker which is a GUI for InnoExtract etc.

P.S. Each BIN file, and there are 29 for the base game in this instance, could contain over a thousand checksums, and depending on your PC specs, could take many hours to process. Doing a single checksum for each BIN file will take far less time. That said, if there is an issue with one BIN file, then you could process that to see if corruption occurred before it was downloaded.
