Hey,

I just installed galaxy to download the Witcher 3 preload files. As I like to have backups of my digital game installers (especially games like GTA V, Wolfenstein huge installers) I first configured my installer and installation folders and then tried downloading FEZ and Master of Magic. Both games installed perfectly but I have no installer saved in the specified folder. Manuals are not stored in the specified extra folder. I can't find any other option to make backups.

Help...

I think the backup installers were under extras or something along those lines.

The "Install" function doesn't download any installer, but only installs the game to the specificed directory. To download a game as a standalone installer, you need to click "More", "Download Extras", and both the option to download a standalone installer, along with a game's extras (like manuals, soundtracks, etc.) will now be available to you.

Thanks a lot - is it just me being dumb or is this slightly unintuitive? ;-)

No friend, I don't believe you are dumb. Otherwise, I would have to believe that all those who asked the same question were also dumb. GOG could indeed do it more intuitively.
