Re: Infinite Load/"Restart Required" Save issue

I had this label on all my saves too, I was able to load them ok but the note was still there so I was concerned lol. I first relaunched the game (no change), and then I relaunched Origin (again, no change) so then I rebooted my entire computer, and that seems to have taken care of it!

EDIT: I took a 2nd look at my saves just now. I had quit the game directly from one of the saves that I was able to load the last time, and that's the one that the label is gone from. So maybe that was what solved it? I'll do another test from another save to check. Of course I realize if your saves don't load for you at all, that doesn't really help, sorry :\

    Thanks for adding a solution to this issue! I can confirm that a restart of my entire computer (which I had not done since patching) ended the infinite loading screen and allowed me to load the older saves. Upon resaving the saves listed as "restart required" and exiting, the "restart required" label went away.

    It just didn't click that the game was indicating i needed to restart my entire computer versus the game itself.

    I’ve too restarted my computer and I am still having issues. I’m actually starting to feel really stupid because nothing is working  and it’s very frustrating
