You need to install or patch the game before playing. wont update

This doesnt work for me :l

right click repair did it for me.

Where us the repair install button??!!?!?!?!??!

Hi usmcjaskarn,

Right click the game icon in Origin, you'll see Repair Install in the menu this brings up. 

Thanks

FINALLY 

Been trying for like 5 days now and this is so simple. Worked first time. 

THANKS ;D

I'm glad to hear that nickbo27.

Thanks for the update 

Its not there for me :c

Same problem here! I don't see the repair installation option when I right click BF4 in Origin

At first, download and install the latest version of Origin at www.origin.com/download (and make sure you have your Origin account ready as well)
If that doesn’t helped, close the origin client and go directly to you origin folder  C:\Program Files\Origin Games. Run the origin.exe in this folder with a rightclick -> run as administrator. 
This worked out in the most cases, if not, try to deactivate your firewall/antivirus software and/or check the online ports of your connection:

TCP: 80, 443, 9988, 20000-20100, 22990, 17502, 42127
UDP: 3659, 14000-14016, 22990-23006, 25200-25300
For specific instructions on how to open your ports, please visit http://www.portforward.com/ or contact your router manufacturer.

Check if you are able to get now the "Repair Install" option if you rightclick on your BF4 icon.

Please let us now, if this problem after this workaround still exist.

Cheers

If you've moved the game because you had to do something like reinstall windows, when you move the game folder back into Origin Games just remember that the game still isn't "installed", that is why you have to use the repair install. Now if only I could fix Titanfall (download failed). 😉
