Origin OS Version Bypass

Raw

This guide shows how to hex-edit Origin to disable operating system check, which allows NFS Heat to download and install on Windows 7.

If this works for you, I'd appreciate if you bought me a coffee.

Check your Origin.exe version:

For 10.5.66.38849, see revision 8
For 10.5.64.37936, see revision 7
For 10.5.63.37653, see revision 6
For 10.5.60.37244, see revision 5
For 10.5.57.35162, see revision 4
For 10.5.56.33908, see revision 3
For 10.5.55.33574, see revision 2
For 10.5.52.32372, see revision 1

If the most recent version is missing, please check the comments; if nobody has commented about it yet, please let me know.

Alternatively, you can try the advanced patching guide that should work on any version, but the advanced guide is a lot more involved and there be dragons.

I recommend switching Origin to offline mode, because if the game needs an update, you will have to do this again.

Added offsets for 10.5.64.37936 (now only 10 places instead of 14), and a rough advanced patching guide so that people can find the offsets themselves (maybe someone else will post them before me when Origin updates, but I'd advise people to get suspicious if someone posts offsets that don't look like the ones in the guide).

If anyone has technical comments or questions about the advanced guide, its page on the blog has a separate discussion from the other pages.

That's the advanced patching guide. If you don't want to hexedit/repatch after every update, disable updates. The advanced guide is what you can do yourself if I haven't updated the hex offsets, not something that will work on its own forever.

Please add offsets for 10.5.72.41482 - 762378

Taking a break from this project, you can use the advanced guide to patch any version until I come back to it.

Advanced guide works great (10.5.80.) In my case needed fake DXSETUP.exe from dxwebsetup.exe also. If You have DX_11 problems try to overwrite .exe file to skip it!

Idk which part you're talking about.

Nevermind I know now .

Hello guys you can upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 for free, the game will work, and there is no need to delete or install Nfs heat again, just choose upgrade Win 10 option from Microsoft site. Cheers.
