@eggmancs Hi, If you start Origin and the game as administrator does it create the correct file? Is your Origin installed on your C drive?

Thanks.

    My "Battlefield 1" folder's location is "c:\battlefield 1", does it mean it can't be loaded ? I tried to cut it to "Documents" folder, but it doesn't work, and the "c:\Battlefield 1" folder keep recreating everytime I run the game

      @julianliu0755 Hi, to be clear there are 2 main folders. One is the folder that contains the game, the 47-ish GB of game files. This can be anywhere you like, really, as long as Origin knows that's where its installed. If you've chosen to put it at C:\ that can be perfectly fine. 

      The other folder is the settings file, this weighs in at a couple of hundred MB. This should always be in your My Documents on your C drive/install drive. I'm not sure why it would be created to a different location. 

      The folder at C:\, what size is it? If you check your My Documents, do you see other games settings folders?

      Thanks.

        EA_David Hi, I found my 2 folders' location, which named "Battlefield 1" the 47 GB of game file folder is located at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 1" another one is located at "C:\Battlefield 1", and the folder is 0 bit, there is only a folder inside named "Screenshots", No sight of "Battlefield 1" folder in "Documents", I mean "C:\Users\Administrator\Documents", I run as Administrator. I've repaired the game, but it's still the same. I created a "Battlefield 1" folder at "C:\Users\Administrator\Documents", but the game still run as new.... I forgot to say I run it at Win 7 64-bit, should I run it on other OS like Win 8 or Win 10 ? Thanks
