Origin redownloads game again after connection lost

★★ Apprentice

So.. I thought this shouldn't be a problem now, since Steam got this feature long ago... I was downloading Anthem Alpha and went out of the room for a while when my laptop shutted down due to AC cable not connected to it (battery got discharged). When I booted the pc and Origin again, it started redownloading EVERYTHING (all 20GB I already downloaded which are still in the folder I pointed for it..

How can I force this sh** to check the files instead of dowloading the content again?

Hi @danaien

 

Clear Origin cache https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/origin/origin/origin-my-games-list-is-blank 

 

Delete temp files: open the Start Menu and type %temp%  in the Search field  or click in the Run option in the Start Menu and type %temp% in the Run field.Press Enter and a Temp folder should open. You can delete all files found in this folder, and if any files are in use, they can be skipped. 

 

Restart your machine.

 

Run Origin as Adminstrator
