AsSalaam Alaikum Warahmatullah!
Im not sure if anyone has posted this but if this was already posted then mods kindly delete this thread. What i would like to share with you guys is how you can install BF3 in different drive other then C: :idea: ....this guide is specially for all those 60GB (or less) SSD owners
...
Kindly follow the steps mentioned below and if you still run in to any problem don't hesitate to send me a "visitors message"..also....since i have only tested this on a fresh installed window therefore i will only be able to provide you the steps for people who have installed new windows or willing to reinstall their windows.
I know i have posted way tooo many steps....but its only to make it easier.....for daily PC user/gamer this is way too easy!
1. Before installing new windows make sure to backup your complete game from Origin Games folder (Copy the whole "Battlefield 3" Folder)
2. Install Windows and your basic drivers ex: sound, lan etc
3. Install Origin in the same drive where you wish to install your game
4. Login to Origin
5. Go to settings and make sure that you are on "general" tab
6. Now where it says "Downloaded Games" click the change button and select your drive then press select folder and press accept
7. Now again where it says "Downloaded Games" click the change button (it will take you to the drive that you have selected) now create a folder name "Origin Games" (EXACTLY HOW I HAVE WRITTEN WITHOUT QUOTES)
8. Click the folder that you have created and click the "Select" button and now click done in Origin
9. Now start downloading BF3 till about 1%
10. Once you have downloaded 1% right click on Origin icon on the bottom right and click close
11. Now go in to your C: drive and enable hidden folder
12. Go to "Program Data" then "Origin" then "DownloadCache" then select everything in there and "SHIFT DELETE"
13. Now cope access the backup copy of your BF3 and copy the "Battlefield 3" folder in to your "Origin Games" folder which will be in the driver you have selected
14. Login Origin and click install once that is completed then repair install.
15. ENJOY!!
