Re: EA Desktop APP can't detect already installed games

Hi,

I know it's an old post but it can help others like me. Because this issue is not fix yet.

There is no easy way to detect already installed games with EA App, this app sucks. End of discussion.

But I managed to use a sh!ty way like Epic Launcher to force it to detect files. Just make sure your actual games folder and EA games folder path are the same.

• click on a game you already have on your computer, it will start to download it anyway.
• stop the download
• go to your game library
• click on the 3 dots to the game's tiles
• click on "repair"

It will now list already installed files and download missing ones if needed

It's not the best way but it's a working way for those that can't download all again
