[RESOLVED] Origin Game Directory Question

[tglopez]

Hi  -

For some reason, my Origin game list isn't showing up correctly on GameEx (Steam is just fine). It just says "No Games Found". Is there any way to manually redirect GameEx to read a folder where the Origin games are located?

It should be pretty much plug and play. Can you attach  copies of your gameex.ini and log.txt files for review of your settings in reply to this thread? Thanks!

Also, it would be handy to know if you have installed Origin games to a non-default drive, ie a backup, an external or simply a local partition.

Hi Dazzle,

Gameex.ini and log.txt attached. And, yes, I have the Origin games - and the Origin program itself - on a non-default drive. Appreciate your help!

GameEx.ini

Are there any other files I should include?

Hey @tglopez!

When you say "I have the Origin games - and the Origin program itself - on a non-default drive." Does that mean that literally nothing is where it should be?

[Draco1962]

As an example, I have Origin installed in its default install path, yet my games are installed on a different hard drive.

[tglopez]

That's right. Origin isn't on the same drive as Windows. The full program and games are on a separate drive. Any work arounds?

[tglopez]

Just wanted to revive this thread. Is there any way to change the default install path for Origin in GameEx?

[Draco1962]

You can install the Origin client in its default install location and your games in a different path or hard drive and it works fine for most.

There is no way to modify this in the integrated Origin support.

I can't test this which makes it a bit of a bugger for me, but what Draco and I too advise is: Keep your games on the drive you want, BUT, uninstall, then reinstall Origin on your OS drive.

Mostly that will be your C: drive. Then, tell Origin where your games are, ie - on your ext drive.
