Reinstalling Origin after a windows reinstall. Moving Origin and Its Games From One Drive to Another. Recently, my PC has been playing up, and so I found myself having to do a number of reformats which of course meant I needed to reinstall all of my applications, including Origin.Īfter searching there was only one such guide on how to reinstall/move origin and its games without redownloading the games, but unfortunately it actually only works for a few games, with the majority "ready to install" looping (where clicking on the install button does nothing and just loops it back) or giving an "1624" error code.Īfter fiddling around myself, Ive found out how to do this properly without having to fiddle with registry settings or using the "eainstall.exe" (which invariably doesn't work) Update: Origin now detects files in the game folder prior to installing them meaning you no longer need to start a download before installing a game, you can just start the download and Origin will automatically detect and install it.
