    Hey @Mikaelb0b,

    Sorry to hear about this issue you're experiencing.

    Have you changed the destination location in the Application Settings on Origin?

    Origin > Application Settings > Installs & Saves

    You can set the location of the game library location by clicking the change folder, and selecting the Origin Games folder on the D: Drive.

    Once this is done, try repairing the game that you are looking to play, and see if you are able to launch it.

    Give this a try, and see if it helps.

    Let us know if you still need further assistance.

    Thanks 🙂

    Your response just answered a question that was going through my head. I moved my Steam directory and repointed the games without issue and was thinking of doing the same with my Origin games. I just didn't know if it would work or if I would have to re-download everything.
