Re: EA Launcher doesn´t install in choosen directory

Hi @Dave_8956,

Regarding this:

It's bizarre to select 'customize setup', give the user an option for the target installation folder, then...ignore it.

Yes, that's the 'default game install path', but the installer never communicates that clearly, and regardless not having an option where to install the launcher is ridiculous. It's incredible after so many years of beta it's still worse than Origin.


This is mentioned during the installation process of the EA app. 🙂 Please see my reply here.

Thanks!

    I would love for a patch that allows managing the installation path.

    My PC was intentionally built with a small C drive to keep just the operating system on. My C drive is in the red and 500MB is a lot to put on there. I need to clear up things on there on a weekly basis.

    So yeah ... I'm going to try to get rid of most EA programs I have and stop getting new ones. This is really not worth it.

    Lots of love to everyone involved!
