Hi everyone!

Sadly when I'm trying to download games through Heroic, it appears as if the download limit was kind of limited to 0.5 Mbps which is way to slow when you have to download a game like Wolfenstein the New Order which has 40Gb of data.

For now I haven't found a way around this problem so I'm downloading the offline installers from GOG at around 3Mbps (which is way better). The problem is that I can't find a way to import them in Heroic on my Steam Deck.

By the way it's very important for me to retain the ability to get achievements (through Comet) as I'm addicted to these.

Could someone help me about importing these offline installers?

Also, I'll be happy to hear if someone knows a way to improve my download speeds through Heroic and get the ability to keep downloaded files when turning off my Deck as for now I'd have to start everything again if the game hasn't reached 100%?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Yeah I also found this on github and then tried to play with the workers (don’t what that is).

They were set to max and then I changed the numbers without seeing anything special..

Although I didn’t reboot between changes as Heroic never instructed me too..
