Solution is outdated; updated XML filename.

| Oct 15, 2013 at 15:43 | comment | added | jello | Well, yes, maybe; or rather no, probably not. My answer is now almost exactly two years old. The Origin client has seen several revisions since, and the last time I tried changing the directory from within the client, it worked without a problem [like it should]. So, yeah, EA are obviously able to learn. :) | |

| Feb 9, 2012 at 10:18 | comment | added | Neon1024 | I managed to achieve something similar by updating the XML file, and then reloading Origin. It said my games were not installed so I clicked install and 2-3 minutes later, it was done. I assume it was checking the games already in the folder. | |

| Nov 12, 2011 at 16:36 | comment | added | jello | Addendum: Since one of the last updates, you get a message about an invalid directory every time you open the Settings dialogue. It'll only go away when you reset the directory to standard or force-quit the application. As long as you do not open the Settings, it seems to work fine, though. | |
| Oct 26, 2011 at 6:12 | comment | added | Mr Smooth | This worked like a charm. Like I said before though, I still get the error when I open settings, but it doesn't stop things from installing there, just a little annoying. Not that big of a deal though, hardly ever open settings, and when I do it's just one click and it's gone. Thanks a bunch. | |

| Oct 20, 2011 at 4:06 | comment | added | Mr Smooth | This seems to have worked, but I still get the same error message every time I open settings, although I don't really care about that, so if this works when I install Battlefield I'll accept this answer | |
