Can’t change location of download on ea desktop

I got Xbox game pass ultimate and linked my account, went to the ea desktop and wanted to download a game but couldn’t change the location to download. I have no space on that drive but I have on the other drive but could not change it.

  • Hi @darth_ramezous,

    Could you describe what happens when you try to change the install/download location of a game and perhaps share a screenshot?

    I just did a clean install Windows 11 to test, installed the EA app and now i can chance the download location in the app.

    I think that this problem starts when u 1st install Origin and then the EA app.

  • Thank you so much bro i really wanted to play the star wars game. Really helped me out but this is a very weird issue and idk why it is not fixed yet.

    I've been having this issue since day one of the beta. This needs to be fixed fast before Origin retires.

    @Zach8777 This worked for me; thanks so much. It still astonishes me how terrible of an app ea has created here that this is an issue still occurring years later.
