Not sure if this is where I'm supposed to post this, but here goes:
About two days ago I purchased Far Cry, seemingly managed to download all of it off of the GOG Downloader, and my desktop shows two .bin set up files for the game (part 1 and part 2). I read on the site FAQ that larger games are apparently supposed to be separated like this, but the problem is I've had no prior experience with .bin files. Just clicking them has a message pop up saying that Windows couldn't find the program necessary to open them (I have a Win 7 64-bit OS, if that helps).
I tried looking up what to do online, but got differing "solutions" so I didn't want to take any chances (one of them said that I have to burn the files onto a disk. I thought GOG games could run self-sufficiently straight from the computer?). I also tried contacting GOG for support almost two days ago, but so far at least they haven't responded.
In short, can someone please walk me through what to do next with these .bin files and how to finish installing the game? I'd really appreciate the help.
I apologize if I seem impatient (not waiting a longer while to hear back from GOG), or if the answer to my question seems obvious, but I'm just nervous since this is my first purchase/download off of GOG and want to make sure that I didn't just waste $7.00.
