Coming from Steam , bought my first game (Pillars of eternity) and now i want to download it
My question is How to download the game the fastest way possible ??
I downloaded GOG Galaxy but the download is 14GB which is to big because of my ISP limitions
i downloaded the GOG downloader and opened the game on my browser account and found alot of files for windoes
DO i have to download the main installer and then download the update files in the same path or What ?
Thnx

All files are required to install, Galaxy just downloads the game files instead of the installer.
Both are probably around the same size.

The game page shows the install size, it is indeed 14 gb.

Hi there and welcome to GOG!

If you download the game from the webisite then you can download the three main files (Part 1 of 3) - (Part 3 of 3) separately to hopefully work within your ISP limitations

You won't need the other files as the main installer should be up to date at the time of downloading.

Alternatively you can use the Downloader by clicking on More - GOG Downloader Links. This will allow you to stop the download and restart it in accordance with your limitations.

GOG Galaxy is not compatible with limited internet connections at the moment and you should probably avoid it.

Whatever way you choose you will end up downloading 14GB.

I would suggest don't download it from galaxy.
Instead download all data files one by one.
Put them in one folder.
Run setup and install the game.

Galaxy takes time to download and if something goes wrong you will have to download whole thing again.

BEWARE OF SOME NEW ACCOUNTS AND SUSPICIOUS ACCOUNT.

Lastly.
Welcome to GOG.com
Stay safe.

Well that's not at all ominous! :D They just want to know how best to download and install the game they bought and you point out the scammer thread. Which is not even relevant outside of trading.

Well he was warned.......

Sorry, where are you getting 14gb from? Goto GOG.com. Login to your account. Goto library (hover over account and then select library). As you only have one game there will only be Pillars of Eternity there. Click on the game icon and you will see a page with all the downloads. You need to to download POE Part 1 of 3 = 34mb, Part 2 = 3.9gb, Part 3 = 2.5gb. Also download the pre-order bonus item of 7mb. Now put all the file you downloaded into one folder and double click the exe. It should now open the installer and guide you through installation.

Welcome to GOG. If you're going to spend a significant time here, you may find this thread useful for new members. Enjoy :D

I'm not sure what the fastest way is, but for really big games like that, the best one currently available is the GOG Downloader.
To use it, you have to open the game in your browser library, click on "MORE" and then "GOG DOWNLOADER LINKS". That'll open a page where you can queue the entire game into the downloader with one click (see attached image #1).
You can pause and exit the program, but don't "LOG OUT" while it's still downloading a game, as any unfinished files will be deleted from the queue if you do that.
Once the downloader is finished, you'll find all the installer files in the directory that's specified in the program's options (default is "Documents/GOG.com Downloads) (see attached image #2). Just double-click on the .exe file there and the installation will start.
You can also do with the installer what you want, such as storing it on an external HD or USB stick so you can simply use it again without having to download the entire thing, just remember to put the .exe file and all the .bin files(which contain the actual data for such big games) in the same folder.

The other files, the ones that you can see directly when opening a game in the library, are for regular browser downloads. They are the same files you get when using the downloader, except that you have to download them manually, one by one.
However, I wouldn't recommend this for huge games like this, as there's a possibility of file corruption.
The patches are usually just for people who want to update an existing installation, without having to download the entire game again.

Just don't want to loose another 20 rep. :P
Just kidding.
I was making him alert of some rough situation which he may encounter during fun ride.

Not necessarily. The installers are compressed, whereas Galaxy currently downloads the game as installed, completely uncompressed. Best bet is probably to use Galaxy to download the 'backup' (installer) if bandwidth is an issue. Not true, see above. That's probably the size of the installation, and thus the size of the download if you install through Galaxy. Galaxy doesn't download the files compressed so it downloads the installation at its full size. The installers are obviously compressed, hence the size you're talking about.

You might not need the update files. First download the 3 main files then install and run the game. Then on the main menu screen look in the bottom left corner. There's your current version number. Make a note of it. If any of the patches and hotfixes exceed that number then download those. Otherwise don't bother with them as they're obsolete.

Galaxy is still in beta and has some gaping holes GOG needs to patch out before it's much use. It should be good once it's finished though. Theoretically.
Yeah, I get that but it's like having a 'Welcome to Florida! Please don't get killed in a tornado or eaten by crocodile!' sign at Miami airport.

Good grief Galaxy really is crap then.

Galaxy is trying to emulate Steam in downloading games in a way that they're basically installed through the process of downloading. This methodology really needs some workable compression applied to it because you're right, it's crap without that.
