Copy Game To Another Paid Account?

[c0p0ut]

Another family member and myself reside in the same household with our own computers.  We both purchased Battlefield 1 for each of our accounts. To save on download time and bandwidth, after one is finished downloading, can I copy the game folder to the other computer / account?

Without this, we will each have to download the same files, therefore, doubling the amount of download data and time.

Hi @c0p0ut and welcome to Answers HQ!

You can indeed do so.

1. Have your backup ready
2. Start DL in Origin AND let it download for 2-5 minutes
3. Exit Origin
4. Copy over folder, overwrite if needed
5. Start Origin again and let it verify the files (this might look like downloading but is not)
