Hi everyone!

I have the following issue with origin games under these circumstances:

1. GOG 2.0 started as admin
2. link to origin account was succesfull (games are shown in library)
3. when click start game in GOG 2.0, origin launcher starts (but no working window, only in taskbar)
4. nothing else, origin game doesnt start at all
5. I can right-click the origin symbol in right lower windows corner (system tray?) and see all my origin games, but can´t start the games from there either
6. when origin launcher ist started as admin (out of GOG), everything works fine with origin games
7 steam and uplay games start without any problems, even when gog isnt started as admin

So, I´m out of ideas, how to make the origin games start properly out of the GOG 2.0 launcher.

Anyone maybe?

Thank you guys!

Edit 1:
I could figure out, that the problem is the origin launcher itself, probably. When I start the origin launcher as admin, everything´s ok. When I start it with normal user account rights, nothing happens but the mentioned above. So GOG is not the one to blame.

This is my solution to this issue:

I cant imagine, that this is the correct way, but that is how it worked out for me:

1. While searching in origin forums, why the launcher will only start as admin, someone suggesetd to start origin in compatibility mode for vista sp2. So I did and indeed origin started without admin rights. The drawback however was an outdated version of origin and everytime I started it, it first updated itself without any changes to the launcher.

2. I tried other compatibility modes up to win8. Everytime with the same result as in 1 mentioned.

3. I finally removed the compatibility mode, uninstalled and reinstalled origin and started it normally without admin rights. Now it´s working as it should do. GOG can start origin games now.
