Battlefield V
Battlefield V won't download.
In the Origin app I've entered my redeem code and I see BFV in my games list. When I select BFV and then select Download, it says's it can't write to the designated folder, please choose a new folder. It opens the file browser to my C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games folder. This already has sub directories for Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4. So I add one for Battlefield 5, select it and then it complains it can't write to it. I'm presuming this is because it deems I need to have Administrator access to the Program Files (x86) super directory. My current user down have Admin rights. This obviously worked previously for my earlier Batlefield games. So what do I have to do to get this new game downloaded?
Hey @ArjunaDave, glad to hear that you got sorted but it is possible to install and download to the C drive. When you see the error that you saw in your second last post you can just click on the option to the left and direct your install to your prefered folder.
To move your games to a new folder just follow the steps below and you should be good to go:
- Copy your Origin Game Library folder to wherever you want it.
- The default location is “C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\”
- Set the Origin Game Library Location to the new location.
- In Origin open up Settings
- Select the “Installs & Saves” tab.
- Under “Game library location” select “Change folder…”
- Locate the new folder.
- Start a download for each game you’ve moved.
- In Origin open up “My Game Library”
- Find each game you’ve moved.
- Press “Download”
- Origin will skip downloading any files that are already there and update any that need to be updated.
- When Origin is done updating each game it will be ready to play.
