Origin crashes after locating game

★★★ Newbie

I recently moved Battlefront 2 from my hdd to my ssd and when I locate my game with origin it crashes and continues to crash on any subsequent startup, forcing me to uninstall origin to fix.

Hey @winngggg and @Autsmo you can move your games to a new hard drive by following the steps below:

 

  1. Copy your Origin Game Library folder to wherever you want it.
    • The default location is “C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\”
  2. Set the Origin Game Library Location to the new location.
    • In Origin open up Settings
    • Select the “Installs & Saves” tab.
    • Under “Game library location” select “Change folder…”
    • Locate the new folder.
  3. Start a download for each game you’ve moved.
    • In Origin open up “My Game Library”
    • Find each game you’ve moved.
    • Press “Download”
    • Origin will skip downloading any files that are already there and update any that need to be updated.
  4. When Origin is done updating each game it will be ready to play.

Let me know how you get on.

Same thing here. Titanfall 2 was located without a problem but when locating BF1, program crashes over and over. Only fix is to uninstall origin. Hope someone could help us out.

@EA_Darko Thanks for replying. Somehow, I managed to locate BF1 without crashing this time. I tried the resolution scaling method (@125%) again and it worked for me on the first try. Dunno why it didn't work last night :/

Thanks for the solution still, this would help me in the future. Cheers!

Hi,

 

I just installed Origin fresh.

Disable Windows 10 UDI.

Run As Admin.

 

When I locate allready installaed BF1 on my computer, origin crash. 

 

When I try to start origin after crash it crashes again.

 

When I try the third time all goes black, I have to end the process to make the black screen go away. 

 

There is a huge problem in your code, please fix.

 

Any tips?

PS: I have a slow internet connection to downloading 80 + gigabytes will take one week.

@Terminutts Try 125% as your scaling resolution, then try it again. This worked for me.

If not, refer to @EA_Darko comment in this thread.

Based on what Darko posted, it looks like the client will verify the files(folder?) first. And when it sees that you have the game you want on the library, it will skip downloading and instead verify that all the files needed to run the game. It is basically a 2nd method of relocating. I have not tried his solution, but it makes sense and I would have done it the same way if I haven't fixed mine right away.

Hope this helps.
