EA Desktop APP can't detect already installed games

I don't think that feature has been implemented yet @yaboihappy.

Once you reinstall the game through EA Desktop, the game should download and install correctly. 

Hey so i have recently gotten an error on titan fall 2 to re install because of a file corruption so I uninstalled it and it shows this image where it would originally say "download"

Got a screenshot for me @Skyth1230407?

Have you also tried clearing EA Desktop's cache via App Recovery?

OP, pls don't say its is a Solution to install in the same folder because u cannot install a game that already exists if u do not have enough free space on your hard drive. In that case u need to delete, then install a game that was installed before. In my certain case I have 60gb left and the 80gb game is installed, but after selecting install i cannot click on next, because "not enough space on hard drive". 

So my guess is that some guy should take his time at EA and just delete the block, so that u can click on next. Would take 30min max. to find the code and delete it. I mean its still a beta isnt it?

If only it was that easy @tigglsticks.

In general we would advise to have at least twice the space needed available on the hard drive as you'll also need space to perform the install. 

From what I have seen, the games are detected automatically when you first launch the app, or they start appearing in the app a few days later as I have noticed with my co workers.

Ok if it is not that easy I can unverstanden that is not yet there but it is still no excuse. Having twice the space is suboptimal. Also I have the games installed since weeks and the are not detected. I just play other games instead of bothering with that. So no, the wont appear. Maybe the App will detect automatically after Reinstall but that is suboptimal too. Another good fix I can think of is being able to set multiple install locations, smth essential that is missing anyway. 

I have a 10 megabit per second download speed. Does that mean that instead of having a troubleshooting step to detect a game I've already downloaded, I must spend another 24 hours to redownload a 110 Gigabyte game because you forgot to allow changing Install locations? Turns out I don't have the time or space on my computer to do that, so please tell me there's a better solution to resetting my progress, wasting a day or two with deleting and reinstalling files and having no internet connection because as I said before, my internet can't handle a download of that size.
