Re: Error message: missing game data, install legacy edition. Please help

Antiviruses are updated from time to time and after the latest updates, most of them suddenly started blocking the game files.
This applies to antiviruses such as Avast, AVG, Sophos, MacAfee, and even Kaspersky. I've seen a lot of identical cases recently and the antivirus program was always to blame
Just try to disable it temporarily for the test. Google its name, plus the word Disable. Then search the links provided for instructions on how to do this.
After disabling the antivirus, repair the game in Origin to fix the blocked files.
Origin./My game library - right-click on the game cover - option: Repair
P.S. But you don't really need this program, because practically Windows Defender on Win10 protects your computer sufficiently. This belief that you need to have an additional program comes from the times when Microsoft's security was not sufficient.
