EA Play not detecting legacy games

Hi,
I still have some older games on my account from before Origin days (although bought on Origin). Recently they have disappeared from my library and re-pointing the download directory to the correct folder did not fix it. Interestingly, Apex Legends was affected but a update had been installed in this state (says to me this is some sort of visibility issue). Only the games licensed through EA's own tools are affected (both Star Wars games are through Epic), which is interesting. I do not want to have to go to alternate sources to download the games I purchased or licensed against my account.
Affected games are:
-Apex Legends
-Command and Conquer Ultimate Collection
-Dead in Bermuda
-Dead Space
-Mass Effect 1, 2, 3 and DLCs
-NFS Pro Street (please make a remake of the Black Box NFS Games, I'm begging you)
-Peggle Deluxe
-The Sims 4
Not affected:
-Star Wars Squadrons
-Star Wars Battlefront II

  • YES! I had to point the install directory to the old location (one of the updates reset it) and then the next day it appeared for some reason? This was after a full shut down and reboot over night.

    What if I don't have them installed?
