Origin won't recognize games in a new file path

Spork829

I recently reinstalled Windows. I reinstalled the Origin program, however BF1 (my only Origin game) was on a different drive. I reinstalled Origin on the new Windows install, and changed the game file directory to the location of BF1, but nothing changed. My only option for the game is still "download". I really want to avoid downloading 60GB of game again. How can I get it to actually find the game?

Just download it, afaik origin will figure out BF1 is already there and basically verify the BF1 install and only download extra files if some of them are missing or outdated.

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

Same happens if you try with repair option. It will verify files and download anything missing.
