can you specify what exactly you copied and pasted?
Sorry it probably sounds a bit confusing. I copied everything in the backup folder. Thing is, my desktop's wifi adapter is **bleep** so I had to download the game completely on my laptop and then transfer the whole Dragon Age Inquisition game folder to my desktop. After that, I copied and pasted the game folder in my desktop to a portable hard drive for safekeeping. All of this happened before the patch installation, that's why I have 2 old copies of the whole game folder.
Do you happen to have an old copy as well? Just remember that after you uninstall the game on your computer, the Dragon Age Inquisition folder will be automatically deleted. Important: you have to go to application settings in Origin and uncheck the "automatically update your games" box. After that, just let Origin download a few MBs of the game so it can create the game directory, then close down Origin, then overwrite everything in the new game directory with the contents in your backup folder. When you run Origin again, the download will resume and shoot up all the way to 100%, or possibly just download a few more MBs. Play like usual, and ignore the update.
