Same here, Tried all these solutions, launcher just ends up completely redownloading entire game. [edit: profanity removed]

Create the folder by hand, then point Origin to it.

The only thing worse than an obvious feature missing (obvious because all the competitors implement it), is a community manager pretending like this is somehow the first time they heard about it and it's some kind of original idea.

Can you confirm which missing feature you're referring to?

 

We do have a move & locate feature on Origin, but it might work a bit different than on other clients. If you'd like to find out how it works, check out this article:

What is it what you do?

 

Without tagging someone as I did with you @KitsuniSim , it is impossible to know to what post you refer.

@Boyman3793 Right? I'm fed up with EA/Origin on PC. They need to get with the times or get left behind.
