BFII on Origin after you buy/add another edition from a different launcher

I own Battlefront II Deluxe Edition, with preorder skins and hundreds of hours of progress on Origin. I noticed that Epic Games Store's next week giveaway is Battlefront II Celebration Edition. If I ...

    To give a definitive answer to this thread:

    1- By adding BFII celebration edition from EGS you keep all achievements, hours played, milestones, and all previous progress you had in-game 

    2-You get to keep your origin BFII Deluxe/standard edition, and the preorder skins that come with it

    3-There will be 2 BFII titles in your game library, one with an EGS label (needs both origin/EGS login to launch), and the other you had prior (requires only origin login)

    4-EGS will both be its own title and merge with whatever origin edition you had, celebration will act as an add-on if you had the standard or deluxe edition

    5-You can invite friends from origin despite owning it on EGS, as they both need Origin to launch

Hi, this happened to me, i own the standard edition of BF2 on Origin so i tryied to install the Celebration edition on epic for free, then on the origin library there is two BF2, the one from origin and the one from epic, and i can launch both of them with all the Celebration edition content. I do not like this merge thing so i tryied to contact epic support to remove from my library the BF2 Celebration edition and when they sad they removed the game i uninstalled it and in the epic library it was gone, while in the origin library the epic BF2 turned in a quite transparent image, where i can't launch from it. When i re-installed my standard edition game on the epic library THE BF2 REAPPEARED. I just don't know how to remove this curse, i even removed the game from the epic library and it just reappeared non sense. Help me please. P.S. i maybe misspelled something, i am not native english

You still get to keep your origin version with Celebration as an add-on (DLC). The second BFII with Epic Label you see on Origin you can hide it if its look bothers you this much. Right-Click then hide. But it doesn't affect your previous progress in any way. Just Hide the Games you don't like to see in your Origin Library.
