It worked for Luminoith even though their Origin installation wasn't up-to-date:Īlthough my Apex Legends game was not up to date on the Origin client, Fortunately, according to multiple users on this Reddit thread, you can use an Origin download to at least partially skip a Steam download. Launching the game on Steam should bring up the Origin application.īecause Steam doesn't know you have it on Origin, Steam will still force you to re-download it.

I did the above step a couple of times and failed each time in letting steam recognize my game files, then I thought that steam doesn't actually download the games into their folders directly but it downloads them to a separate folder as this: D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\downloading, so third time I copied my installed game files in this folder instead and yet it was same result, no recognition of game files by steam. And then I reopened the steam and it started downloading the game where it did leave it before exiting, from 10 MBs. Then I exit the steam and copied my installed files in the above folder. A folder was created for BF4 in my steam library like this:ĭ:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Battlefield 4
