Can you launch from the Origin My Games panel? Alternately check in C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games for an Age of Empires III folder, then copy the game executable to the desktop to have a handy link.

Not all games available in Origin are made here at EA. For those titles and games that we didn't have a hand in getting out there, we usually aren't able to help you as well as the people who really put in the work.

While we're happy to help you with any issues between you making your purchases on the Origin store until you start installing, but after that point it's best to get help from your game's publisher:

Return: Age of Empires 3

★★★ Newbie

I just bought Age of Empires 3 on a Mac but it only works on PC. I requested a return but when I did there was no game that came up for a possible return. Age of Empires 3 did not show up. I just bought the game 40 mins ago and I'm at a dead end on how to return this game.

Age of Empires III Freeze Switching to Desktop

★ Guide

Well, AOE3 freezes constantly if I switch between the game and my desktop or IE3.  I do this because I'm watching videos of missions.  Anyway, so I have to save all the time before I do the switch.  I wanted to give the expansion packs a target parameter to stop the cinematics since I have to reload save files all the time, but the only option for an EP is to play it, not give them Game Properties.  I thought it was my computer at first, then decided to run the expansions by a short-cut, bypassing Origin altogether.  Haven't had a freeze since.  Was also able to provide the target parameters in the shortcut.  I spoke with a rep, who spoke to a specialist, who had no clue how to provide target parameters to expansion packs since Origin moved them from the main library to a separate area.  In case anyone has either of these issues, it's better to run the game & expansions through shortcuts rather than through Origin.  The names of the executables are age3.exe, age3x.exe (War Chiefs), and age3y.exe (Asian Dynasties).  The only thing you'll be missing is the number of hours playing the game.  I'd rather have my game not freeze than to know how many hours I've played it.  Oh well!
