@jens4561 Windows 10 will scan and check all installed programs on your system, and should automatically set them to run in compatibility mode, if needed.

If you have trouble launching a game in Windows 10, you can also set up compatibility mode for that game manually.

Start with your Desktop shortcut

• If you have a Desktop shortcut for your game, you can right-click that to get started. 
• If you haven’t created a Desktop shortcut for this game, you can find the game’s folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\
  • Look for the game program itself (it’s usually gamename.exe) and right click on the icon, then choose Properties.

Click on the Compatibility tab. Here you have a couple of options:

• You can choose to run the compatibility troubleshooter and have Windows check your game again
• You can check the box under Compatibility mode and choose your preferred version of Windows from the drop-down menu. We also recommend checking the box beside “Run this program as an administrator.” 
  • The option to choose from the drop-down menu depends on when your game was released.

For older EA games like Mass Effect, Dragon Age: Origins, Crysis, Crysis Warhead, and Command & Conquer, selecting XP Service Pack 3 is the best option. For more recent games, try running in compatibility mode for Windows 7 first.

Click Apply to save your changes and then try launching your game again.

As Windows, and the hardware it runs on, has changed over time since the original launch of many of our games, we can’t guarantee that older games will always run properly for you in compatibility mode under Windows 10.

If you still have trouble with an older game after trying these steps, contact us and we can help you find another solution.
