need more info.

Get into your library, click on the title of the game you bought, click on the format that appears below the game that shows the file that will be downloaded and has a file size on it's side, usually, that is how it works.

I cry when I see threads like this.

However just go to your account -> library -> click on the game you want to download and choose the installer.

Or you install GOG Galaxy, the client who works basically the same except that it downloads and installs the game for you.

If using GOG Galaxy --> find the game in your library (you can nagivate to your library via the button at the top)

Otherwise --> find the game in your library (click on "Account" at the top of the page), find the game, click it to expand, and pick what you want to download (if the game has extra content, you may want to grab the game first so you can start playing and then take a look at the goodies :)

Regular/Manual Download: Go to "Account" and click on the name of the game you want to download, then click on all the files listed under "Game Downloads"

GoG Galaxy: Never used it, but guess you can find more info by using forum search...

Did you download all needed files?

EDIT: To be honest, it will be easier for you if you use GOG Galaxy. Get that and download/install the games through that instead.

Sometimes under "Game downloads" there is more than one file to download, named like *part 1 of X* *part 2 of X*.
In that case you need to download all the files in the same directory.

If you have a bigger game that consists of more than one file you have to download all of the files and make sure to start the correct one.

Which game are you talking about and what have you downloaded so far?

Roller coaster tycoon deluxe. I have never done this to make fun all you want. Im not a couch potato that plays games 24/7. I just typed into Google download rollercoaster tycoon and it pulled up this. I've downloaded everything I can/see & still no luck.. Don't wanna waste the money to buy it and not get to play it ya know... I also can't get it to download the galaxy thing either

It's really very simple:
go to your account/library, click your game and a panel will open, you will see on the left one or maybe more files to download (should be one), download this/these file(s) and then double click to start the installation.

This is the best i can explain...
