I bought nwn diamond and i downloaded the whole 2.2 g on the gog downloader. However i cant start the game. There are binary files but they cant open. And i heard to download the exe file in browser but i dont think that works either. That is dl 1 of 3 right? Well it says checking for file integrity and then it says corrupted. The just put all the downloads to desktop

If you used the GOG Downloader, then it should have downloaded all parts (.EXE & .BIN files). Did you use the beta downloader or the "official" one (uses Adobe AIR)?

You might need to redownload the game.

Does your downloader look like the attached picture? If so, that's the "beta" downloader and the "add to downloader" button doesn't work with it quite yet.

The Adobe AIR GOG Downloader looks like this.

To be absolutely sure, I recommend completely uninstalling all downloaders and deleting your game files and redownload. It might be best to use the browser download option rather than a downloader, but it depends on your connection speed.

yes it does but when i click add to gog.com downloader nothing pops up on the downloader itself. Btw i just tried doing browser i am actually on firefox. I was wondering i it possible that the setup exe was listed as corrupt because i only had one of the two binary files. If that is the case then it would not be labeled as corrupt if i had everything? I vaguely rmember there only being 1 binary file before i deleted them. It kinda makes sense because the gog downloader mustve left something out and if i did everything on browser maybe the setup would work. Lastly, would it matter that they are all downloaded to desktop?

I had the adobe air gog downloaded that you showed last night. That would showed the games being downloaded but like isaid that one didnt work. That attached one was the one that the download didnt ever show up and that was this morning.

If you don't have all the files and all the files are good, then the installer would consider that to be corrupted. I'm just surprised that it isn't more informative.

It works thanks guys. I just used browser downloader on firefox. Then once it started it would crash. But then irealized that i had to run as administrator. Now that i do that it seems to be running fine. I was worried there for a minute.
Btw now that it works this place is awsome. I was always trying to find old games like this late would work on vista and windows 7. I actually still have my hordes of underdark guidebook.

Don't want to open a new topic for such a small issue, so I'm just about to abduct this (related) one. Sorry jeremiah12...

So anyway, what's the deal with the downloader who doesn't want to maximize? It just stays minimized and no matter how I try to access it, it just stays down. Fortunately, because I use Win7, I can at least monitor my download progress via that phantom pop up window that enlarges once you leave the mouse on the minimized icon for a second. Any ideas? I installed a new directx because I got that back to the future free first episode and wanted to try it out. The thing is, it never happened before, and I probably installed many drivers before today.

Anyone had such an occurrence?


:) Nevermind, I fixed it with this:


Can you right-click the preview, choose "move", then just move the mouse (or use the arrow keys) to move the window into view?

I recognise the problem (it has happened with other applications as well), but I don't remember what I did to fix it.
