@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

        Same issue here. Have BF1 on separate hard drive for space issues and its not loading anything as others have stated. Really frustrating.
        Cant find fix. Running as admin didn't work. Repair didn't work and Origin seems to be in working order. Help is appreciated.
