Origin says Battlefield 4 is not installed

[henkfiets1]

Hi,

When I try to start Battlefield 4 via Origin, Origin says my game is not installed. When I try to start it via Battlelog, it says the same. When I go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4\ and try to start bf4.exe or bf4_x86.exe, Origin starts and says to me that Battlefield 4 is not installed. I only have a download button. When I proceed the download button, it will download 30 GB again, and not any patch or something. I deleted nothing and I moved nothing either. I called to the EA support centre, but they said the only fix is to redownload the game. 30GB takes a little bit long to download over here.

How can I fix this problem? I played it yesterday, and the next day I get this error. I did nothing.

Thanks

Try exiting Origin, then moving the BF4 installation folder somewhere else, then start the 30GB download again and let it download for 1 minute and then exit Origin.

Then move the folder back into the installation folder. Start Origin again. Origin will now finish the install after having verified the new files.
