@Maria-Im-a-Girl- Hi,

You won't have to redownload your Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 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
