Play BF4 on SSD and Install DLC on HDD?
Hey guys, was just wondering if I could install BF4 on my SSD and then install all the DLC on my HDD and still play the maps? Is it possible just to hardlink the files? Cheers - BlueePants

WootCandy, I hope you're still active because I don't really understand how to put in the commands in it at all.
So what I did is I moved the Xpack folder DLC's to my seperate E: drive and placed it in E:\Program Files HDD\Origin Games\Battlefield 4\Update
So in the E: update folder I have the following folders: Xpack0, Xpack1, Xpack2, Xpack3, Xpack4
Original DLC location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4\Update
What would the correct command be for this one? I'm getting a syntax error with my current attempt.
If you are still reading this. I was able to split my DLCs with WootCandy's method. This is what i did (I will modify commands to suit you)
1. Terminate the bf4 process
2. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4
3. Rename the file that is named update to update- (You will need this later)
4. Open CMD as an administrator
5. Type the following command: mklink /j "C:\Program Files (x86)Origin Games\Battlefield 4\Update" "E:\Program Files HDD\Origin Games\Battlefield 4\Update"
This command will make a link so when origin looks for the update folder, it will be redirected.
6. Get the contents out of Update- and put them in your E:\Program Files HDD\Origin Games\Battlefield 4\Update
You should be ready to go.
Quick tip for command prompt. When you had a syntax error, you needed to put quotation marks around the path, it thought you had the spaces as different paths and stuff.
