How to fix "Game not installed" in ea app

Explanation

If you launch the game and ea app launches and tells you that "Game not installed" this could help you.

Fix

Press Windows+R and type regedit go to this path: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Respawn\Titanfall2.
There find file Install Dir, double click on it and change "Value data" to path where your game is, and add \ at the end so path should end at Titanfall2\

If you don't game Install Dir file

If you don't have Install Dir file you can create it yourself. RMB in the titanfall2 folder that i give you above where you have (Default) File and choose new string value. Then RMB on this New Value file and press Modify. Put this "Value name: Install Dir" and "Value data: Game path". Game path is where you installed your game.

It should look like this after you done.

Bought an award for the post.
Doubt it does anything of value, but I've been wanting to replay this game for ages and couldn't, and now I can.

It actually worked.
I've been trying to get this game to work since I bought it, and now it works.

EA is a joke of a company, thanks for helping get this to work.

It's honestly more annoying to me that a Steam Guide helped fix the game, never had this issue with other launchers on the rare occasion I use them.
