Splilitting Origin Games on Diffrent Hard Drives

[Cemozi]

Hi People;
On my PC i have couple hardrives
lately i got ocz vertex 4(256gb) for high performance required games.
On Steam there is no problem But orgin there is one instalation location and when change it the other games got deleted.
so i want games Lİked BF4 or BF3 on my SDD and other games on the HDD.
I saw Junction but this creates just shortcut for it .
Then there is the symbolic link and dont know if its does it. Have no experince with and you do it on ms-dos if its not work i dont know how to reverse it.
What i want is basicly 2 folder on difrence harddrives that work like one single folder so i can install less requirement games on hdd and the high ones on sdd.

So either uninstall and reinstall the games you want to their respective drives, or lookup how to properly migrate the installs to another drive on Google. In Steam, Origin, and Uplay you can tell it where to install any game you download. This is nearly ALWAYS an option for installing software, so if you're installing it to the standard directory when you don't want it to go there, you're the problem.

Do not use third party software for this, you're just making yourself a target for viruses.

Yes on steam there is the option for it but on origin no there isnt the option you can select
under origin option there is the location you can select where the games will be installed but you cant select individual for each game. and like you said " nearly always" not allways
If you had Origin you would know it....

I do have Origin, and use it daily, and you just pointed out your own fix. What you do is select the folder/drive you want to install the games to, download and install games you want to that folder. Then change it to the other folder/drive you want to install games to, download and install. Yes, you have to change the default every time you want to install to a different directory, but that's Origin for you, a mess.

Here's a guide you can use to migrate installs to different drives:

This is what I'm doing as well, dropped lesser demanding on 1 TB WD Sata and the BF4, Titanfall, and others on SSD Samsung, Each time have to change default location and it will risk to redownload if doesn't detect files in folder you specify. PLEASE EA WAKE UP !! We have more than 1 drive we're gamers!!!
