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?
How slow are we talking? All my GOG downloads through Heroic have always been as fast as my connection allows. It sounds like there may be another issue at play.
Is there a VPN involved?
Around 0.5 MB/s through heroic and 250 kb/s thrrough Firefox from the GOG website.
But my connection is way faster with everything else…

Heroic has slow download from GoG and Epic on my machine too.
