Its been running for 1 hour and is still going and only 1/2 way.. its not hung, it's just taking ages. Is this a "feature" of a PlayStation game on GOG?. It have the installer and all files on a NvME SSD and its installing into the system NvME SSD. Its only using about 3.3% of my CPU, so its not being stretched.

I've not seen this behaviour before on a offline installer game from GOG. (I download the offline installer for every game I own and always install from it to test it is OK).

Any one have a solution?

Sorry no solution, but exactly same problem. I also have a NvME SSD - its been 2 hours for me and the game is stilling installing. The progress bar is at the end now.

Noted that this problem has been the case since the beginning. I guess its a "feature" of a PlayStation title. I guess I'll give those a miss in future.

This has been discussed not long ago - you can check -> here for more info. Some people thought the problem was caused by the massive amount of small files the game has but strangely some of them did not have that issue. I gotta test it myself from the offline installers next time I play it

i think its normal behavior, happened on my rog ally as well, the game installer unpacks a huge number of files

The installers are designed to run on slower CPUs for the sake of universal compatibility.
