    @JayKaBee44 to everyone that are still having this error ... just change the "Apex Legends" Steam folder name to just "Apex"(if u wanna play with both launchers just create another copy of Apex Legends folder somewhere else beside the steam library and then change the name) , then go ahead and locate the Apex folder on origin.

    @Prometheusz78 Tried this but it just goes through verifying the files then says download anyway and grays out the option to locate.
