Origin cant find games

[Funky_AU]

Ive had to reinstall Windows 10 and thus reinstall Origin.
Starwars Battlefront is still showing as a full game on my hard drive but Origin isn't finding it.
Ive changed the folder that it finds the games in but it wants to re download it.  It did start downloading with 12% complete so will it find the rest or just overwrite it?
Re downloading the entire game is not an option.  I only have 13G data per month on mobile broadband.

@Funky_AU Hi,

Do you still have the originally patched folder? If so you won't have to redownload your Battlefront game, but you might need to run the respective Touchup.exe file in each game's "__Installer" folder.

Fellow community member Sarge_T wrote a detailed guide about how you can do that here and he used Battlefield 4 as an example: http://answers.ea.com/t5/Origin/HOW-TO-Backup-restore-any-Origin-game-WITHOUT-downloading/m-p/537363...

Let me if you have any further questions.

Cheers,

Nils

well couldn't work out a fix.  Reinstalled using discs which still leaves me with a 9G patch which I won't be able to do.

Hi @Funky_AU

You need to clear Origin cache and for this you get a perfectly detailed post from @EA_Nils >>http://answers.ea.com/t5/Origin/my-origin-will-not-update-my-sims-4/m-p/4721983#M163410

Restart your machine .

Run the setup file Origin with Admin rights  http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-do-i-run-a-program-or-a-game-as-an-administrator/#2 

Now go in Origin / My Games tab ,right click on game icon Star Wars:Battlefront select Repair Game and Check for Updates.

NOTE but take care to match the setting from Origin (Application Settings/ Advaced/Downloaded Games) with  the partition that you have downloaded the game.
