I want to move bf1 from my hdd to my ssd.

Go to solution Solved by OKgamez,

Thank you both for giving me tips, I managed to fix it by cutting it to an other folder and downloading the game for 5 seconds.

I'm not familiar with Origin and I don't know where I can find the option to move my game to an other drive.

Can sombody pls help me?

Whatever Games you want on the SSD you can do two ways.

Set Origin settings to have your games on your SSD (but likely wants them all there)

Use a "Symbolic link" program (easier than manually making one) to tell windows that when it finds bf1 on ur hdd, it redirects windows to load the ssd-bf1 folder files, if the sym-link is active.

 

How I reinstall BF1 using a backup.

Use Origin Settings to find your BF1 Directory.

Go there using Windows File Explorer.

Exit Origin >Completely<

Select BF1 and rightclick/copy (Don't just use "Move" as if something goes wrong, less recovery)

Find another location with enough space to house those files...it can be anywhere on anything, just as long as its big enough.

When you find that spot, rightclick and paste.

After it's copying a lot of data.

Done.. Sweet

 

Open Origin Again.

BF1 may still be there.. but usually it disappears .

Either way, if its not gone, uninstall it.

 

You now Re-install it (but pause shortly after it's created about 20-50Mb of structured files)

Exit Origin >Completely< after it's Paused.

Go to your backup files directory.

Go back to your default BF1 directory in another window.

 

Select your BF1 directory from your backup, rightclick/copy and paste in the other Window. (Follow the same directory structure)

If it asks you about overwriting those files you downloaded, you say yes to all.

Wait for the copy to be done.

Open Origin, Restart the paused download, it completes pretty fast usually (maybe in some cases downloading a last few GB's) but most of time, 100% and done.

:) Hope this helped.

By far easiest way is to move game folder, go to Origin and set download folder to new location (note: DO not allow Origin to download or install anything automatically!). Then verify/repair game files. Origin checks that everything is inside new download and you are good to go.
