So I uninstalled the files that were downloaded so far and began again. All went well, 100% of files downloaded. But now the game is not in my library and I have no way of launching it. It asks me to download it when I visit the game's pages even though I have the file locally.

    Hi @hopey567xbox,

    I'm sorry to hear that but luckily I have some troubleshooting steps for you:

    1. Use the App Recovery tool through Start > EA > App Recovery > Clear Cache.
    2. Launch EA Desktop as an administrator.

    Could you give this a go and let me know if it is working?
