Origin thinks A Way Out isn't installed / A Way Out thinks Origin isn't installe [ Edited ]

[PepicWalrus]

As the title says Origin thinks A Way Out isn't installed expect it is, and when I try to launch using the shortcut A Way Out doesn't realize I have origin installed. I haven't touched the files in anyway, I played it just fine the other night, closed it and then when I go to play it today Origin is telling me the game is no longer installed despite the fact it is and A Way Out says I don't have Origin installed despite the fact I do. Photo for proof. I am now having to reinstall the game while I still have the game installed since there's no verify integrity on Origin.
