[PC] Origin refuses to locate my Battlefield 1 game files

I've installed the entire game which is located on my computer. All the 47gb. I have already swapped the folder in the application settings to the one I've installed the game into. Origin either finds about 5% or 15%, then it proceeds to install DIP_Staged files.

I've got limited internet usage per month so I can in no way do a re-install.

Anyone got the same problem?

Edit: Just realized this post probably didn't make much sense. Since I have limited data per month I downloaded the game elsewhere, I've transferred absolutely every single file, and I tried the game on the other computer before transferring, so I know it works. 

So basically, my problem is Origin not finding the files even though I've chosen the folder they are in.

  • I've had kind of the same issue before.

    What worked for me was to set a new "Game Download Folder". Set Origin to put your files to that folder, and copied my files directly to there.

    Then I "installed" BF1, but all it did was checking the files. 


    Never had an issue with that again.

    Hello @Barr3h and thank you for sharing your solution for this issue with us here. Have you noticed, the date on the original post? It is like 7 month old. I am sure, there are some players on our forum, who are in need of assistance right now, and can use a good advice from an experienced player. 

    Cheers,

    I'm closing this thread to stop it from being necroed.

    If you have any issues with Battlefield, please make a new topic about your problems and what kind of steps you have tried to solve them.
