Game will not 'Install', keeps looping from 'Finalising' to 'install'
I have a huge issue with the Origin Game launcher at the moment. All of my games and launchers are on an external hard drive in where in some cases Origin uninstalls my games. This issue is easily solved with re-installing; All games usually download/install easy again and I can return to playing my games. The issue I will be addressing is a brand new one I have encountered.
Recently Origin launcher uninstalled my games again; I did what I have before, reinstall the games with ease. It is until I tried to reinstall my copy of Alice: Madness Returns (which has worked with this method perfectly before) was stuck in a loop and will not install at all.
P.S I want to stress that this game has worked perfectly before and has re-installed with no issues in the past.
Basically this is how it goes:
- Opens Origin to the launcher saying it is Verifying the game files of Alice: Madness Returns (takes around 1-2 minutes)
- The game freezing on Finalising but tells me it is done in the download bar, clears like it is complete to when pressed
- The game has an Install button to which I press. I then press 'yes' for the EA Setup pop-up
- The game says Finalising for a few seconds and resets back to the Install button (this process loops every time I click the install button)
I have tried to fix this by (with the help of other EA forums):
- Clearing my Cache
- Deleting, re-downloading and trying to install the game from scratch
- Going into the game files and moving the Binaries folder (found here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Alice-Madness-Returns/Alice-Madness-Returns-downloaded-fully-but-won-t-install/td-p/1054524)
- Running Origin launcher as Administrator and Installing
- Lowering my User Account Settings and Installing
- Re-installing the Origin launcher
None of the above solutions have worked at all. All of my other games like Sims 3, SIms 4 and Sims Medieval installed properly. Does anyone know why this is happening and (possibly) have a fix for it?
