Download location defaults back for each game i wish to install

After installing EA App once again i now see the feature where we change the installation location for the client software it self.

However, when requesting to install a game from my collection it defaults back to the default C:\Program Files folder structure instead of suggesting the client install folder location.

Many users have a smaller SSD for the Windows installation and a larger ssd/ssds in raid (as i have) where i have the client installed and wish that the games should be installed to as well.

Sure, i can just point out the same directory again but it doesnt make sense that you should need to, the folder structure is also badly designed with multiple folder with the same name.

Even when installing somewhere else it creates a folder on C: " C:\Program Files\EA Games "

Uninstalling the EA App it also removes the whole local game library, assumably only of it resides in the same root directory, if put somewhere else i hope it doesnt.

But as the default behaviour is to install everything in the same folder, if the app goes haywire and you need to reinstall you also need to re-download all your games....
