I deleted the 71592.dlf File. Yes there were about 8 files in the folder. What do you mean with multiple drives? I got only drive C on the other System.

@Kharthos A lot of players have more than one hard drive, most have a normal HDD and an SSD for their OS. if you only have one, that is okay just want to make sure that you don't have two as some will install the game on a different drive than the EA app which is why they may not see certain files or folders as they are in a separate place.

If you have more files in there just delete them all.
