Howto: Merge Pre-Downloaded Games with Origin

Mrge Pre-Downloaded Games with Origin

Most of the time we see, people find it uncomfortable to directly download from Origin again, as they already had the pirated copy which they can transfer into the original one by just copying it into the Origin Folder.

Even the trick works with Steam. But UPlay, doesn't allows it to. UPlay Games should be always downloaded from UPlay no matter you have the game pre-installed or not.

This Request was done by one of my friends, Nabadeep Kalita from Assam regarding the matter. He wrote:

I have downloaded the Game from Direct Link Website and want to merge with Origin so that I can enjoy the real FIFA 15 DEMO experience.

So, here's the whole trick below. Many of the gamers know about it still I am posting it for those who still wants to know it.

Downloading the Game 

At first, you should download the game from any Direct Link Website. You can also do that from Torrent Website but at your own risk. Most of the time, torrents don't work properly on every systems.

After the download has been completed, extract the game into a Rough Folder if its compressed.

Storing the Game into Origin Folder

Now you have to start the downloading of the game into a specific folder. To see the Origin Default Game Folder, Go to Origin > Settings > General. There you will see a Downloaded Games box where you can change or check the Destination of your games.

Start the download of the same game from Origin. When the download reaches to 2% stop it and close Origin. Now, copy & paste all the files and folders from the downloaded game and paste it in the directory of Origin like for eg:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\FIFA 15.

Merging the Game with Origin Servers

Finally, after pasting the files and folders, open Origin and restart the download. It will automatically reach to a percentage of 92%  or something like that and then download again. Download the files that are provided by Origin because without that, your game will not be multiplayer enabled.

Final Steps

Always be caution with some points that never paste the game folder you downloaded to the Origin Directory without starting the download. It may delete the files sometimes. Now, you can perfectly download and play and go as you like.
