How to backup BF4 installation?

15 Nov 2013, 11:57 AM

Hi guys!

What's the eaiest / fastest way to backup your game files? I need to move BF4 on my new rig tomorrow.

Still couldn't find any backup feature on Origin...

Thanks,
Grisu

Hey Grisu. Look at my post here http://www.cainslair.com/showthread....ifferent-drive

Its essentially the same process as moving it to a different drive.

Copy the folder somewhere else. Easiest method, works for all Origin based games. Origin is like a shitty version of Steam.

I used Bacon's method to move mine to my SSD drive and it worked flawlessly.
