Sorry, but this does not work.

Although it's been nearly two years, it looks like this is the current location of the .exe to create a shortcut for Origin games in Steam:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Game Name\data\Game

Where Game Name is the name of the game. The .exe seems to be the first word of the game name and (x86) is for those running 64 bit versions of windows.

i'm waiting for another game to install so i can do so more testing to confirm.

Hmm, nope. Looks like it needs to be launched from within the Origin Library Manager thingy.

Yay for DRM

Hi, i found a way to do it,
go to origin game library online: https://www.origin.com/usa/en-us/game-library

then pick a game, you will see a code in your url something like OFB-EAST:109547519

for example here the url i get when i pick command an conquer 3

https://www.origin.com/usa/en-us/game-library/ogd/OFB-EAST:52210/friends-who-play

so i copy the code OFB-EAST:52210 and to openit in origun add this url before the code origin://LaunchGame/[game-code]

now i add the shortcut on steam,

go to add a non steam game,
then chose a random program,
locate the program in your library,
change the corresponding values,
Here is an example:


Title:
Command & Conquer™ 3 Tiberium Wars™ and Kane’s Wrath
Target:
origin://LaunchGame/OFB-EAST:52210

thats it, now just look for the thumbnail for the game and done!
