Not sure why but I've downloaded the 24 gig trial version of the game so I decided I liked it and bought the full version.
Now origin is downloading the 24 gig full version.
If they're the same files just limited access with the trial version I'll probably feel like murdering someone so could someone please let me know if there's a way to NOT download it again and just use the files from the trial version I downloaded - assuming that this is all possible?
Thanks!
There is....
1. If you do not want to download the entire game, the following instructions will allow you to copy your existing installation of DAI Trial into the Dragon Age Inquisition directory. Origin will then check the existing files against what it expects for the games installation and fill in the blanks as needed.
2. If you have a non-English VO/Text installation of DAI please do not use this installation method as it will not work and may instead open a fade rift.
3. Copy the contents of your DAI Trial installation folder from your Downloaded Games folder (by default this is C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dragon Age Inquisition Trial) to the same folder on your PC.
4. Once all files are copied, launch the installation for the full game via the Origin tile labeled Dragon Age Inquisition.
5. Once Origin has completed the install you will have the full version of DAI installed.

- Rename the folder named “Dragon Age Inquisition Trial – Copy” to “Dragon Age Inquisition”.
4. Once all files are copied, launch the installation for the full game via the Origin tile labeled Dragon Age Inquisition.
- This is a key step, as we want Origin to look in this folder and find the game files you just copied over.
- The large number of the files in the Trial installation will be the same as your normal installation of DAI. As such the Dragon Age Inquisition installer will not re-download them and will only download the new or updated files for the full game.
- If you’ve copied and renamed the folder correctly, Origin will begin reviewing the files.
- Please note that Origin will still say “Downloading” during this time and the file size will still reflect the entire size of the main DAI game even though it is only checking the files.
- Checking your existing files may take 5-10 minutes depending on hardware configuration. If you’re still downloading after 20 minutes, you may have pointed Origin to an incorrect path or something has gone wrong with your internet connection or Origin. At this point you can stop the download process, check the path of the full game install directory you created, and begin the installation process again.
- Once the full game has successfully downloaded, you will need to Repair the installation to ensure all of the required files are in place, otherwise the full game will fail to launch. To do this, right-click the Dragon Age Inquisition tile in Origin and click “Repair Game.”
5. Once Origin has completed the install you will have the full version of DAI installed.
I love you, man, saved me 4 hours of double download!
Thank you for this but you don't even need to copy the directory just rename the the trial directory and it will work.
