Origin could not start up (-5ffdfff8): The Origin installation couldn't be found

....had this game for about a year now...this is the first time this message has come up. I cannot launch the game because of this. I transferred all my game files to my SSD a few weeks ago and haven't had any issues until today. Any ideas...?

Sorry but it is most likely a file corrupt in the process try this though,

1) Open My Docs and delete the folder called Battlefield 4

2) Repair Battlefield 4,
Repair your game,
1) Go to My Games in Origin
2) Right-click the game image
3) Select "Repair Install"

3) Start game, first few games may crash.

Yeah, I was trying to avoid that, but I'm was about to do just that when I decided to check on this topic to see if anyone could figure anything out.

See - the only thing I didn't try was deleting the BF4 folder and then repairing. I repaired a few times, but it never fixed it. I already uninstalled and started the installation process over again. Thanks though.
