What to do if I want to play a game but Origin is too heavy?

Hi.

I wish to install NOX, an old game but a great one on an old computer.

now, the problam is that NOX would run on this computer while the Origin program won't.

what can I do?

Is there a way to buy the game on its own?

i am realy noob, so please be patiant, thanks.

Hi @mooooo007,

I've move your post in the correct forum. 

Nope, it doesn't work. Any game that has been bought by EA through Origin needs this client.

You can play NOX and origin on a newer computer as well.

If the game has problems, run it in compatibility mode  -> here we go https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/15078/windows-make-older-programs-compatible

Below I have posted a link to our Legacy Client which is intended for older machines running Windows Vista or XP SP2. Hopefully this is light enough on your system resources that you can run it, let us know either way. Thanks.

Download our old Origin client via https://www.dm.origin.com/download/legacy

Run the installer in Vista or XP SP2 compatibility mode (right-click installer -> Properties -> Compatibility)

Note that Store and Social functions are not available on this Origin version.

Any purchases can still be made via the webstore on another device.
