If you are curious on how to see which process is run below another process there is an alternative task manager named ProcExp.exe that you can download from here: ġ. This way it will differentiate between you playing Crysis, Battlefield 3 or any other Origin games instead of the “bad” way of just launching Origin from steam and calling it “Battlefield 3”. Have not tested it on other Origin games but will assume it works there as well. The same operation can be done the same way for bf3.exe. That’s the way to get steam to show you as playing Crysis3.exe.

The proxy (still running and showing you as playing the game) sits and waits for Crysis3.exe that Origin launched to exit. The proxy renames the original Crysis3.exe to something else and renames itself to Crysis3.exe again.ġ0. Crysis3.exe sends a signal to Origin.exeĩ. The proxy (old crysis3.exe) runs the original Crysis3.exeĦ. Crysis3.exe renames itself to something else and renames the original exe to Crysis3.exeĥ. Steam launches Crysis3.exe (the proxy again) and shows you as playing “Non Steam game Crysis 3”.Ĥ. This proxy then runs the steam url and exits.ģ. (steam url and the renamed original exe file)Ģ.

The plugin installed in the web browser launches bf3.exe with a set of parameters. Bf3.exe launches the web browser URL to the web portal for playing. Web browser launched games like Battlefield and Medal of Honor: Warfighter works almost in the same way:Ģ. It needs to be run below Origin to be able to show the overlay or have video streaming capabilities.Ģ. I believe this has something to do with the overlay system of Origin. That way the parent process of an Origin game is always run under Origin.exe. It seems Origin always has to run the game from its own GUI (Origin.exe), so when you run for example Crysis3.exe directly it will send a signal to Origin.exe to launch Crysis3.exe before it exits. HowTo: Launch Origin games under Steam, showing each as Non Steam game «Origin title» Originally posted by ????????::Teddy_talk: Another helpful Steam tweak too. for the info! I have another problem, i'm on Mac, soc my games won't appear with exe file. So it's only Steam-specific streaming that is failing for me currently. Nvidia Geforce Experience allows me to stream it via GameStream though (Nvidia Shield). I'm able to launch Watch Dogs from Steam using the approach above (replacing Origin exe with Uplay exe). I've tested variations on this approach to allow me to stream Watch Dogs (purchased via UPlay), but no luck so far. Not sure if this is necessary, but I also disable Origin In Game: Settings -> Origin In Game -> uncheck "Enable Origin In Game"Īt this point, you should be able to stream Origin games via Steam. In Origin: Settings -> General, uncheck "Automatically launch Origin when I log on to Windows".Īlso: Settings -> Advanced -> Automatic Exit -> check "Automatically exit Origin after closing a game"
