Re: Progression Issues with Amaranthine

As Steam and the EA App both use DRM, there is another underlying issue as the game download is the same. So putting aside the following

  • Wired vs wireless download
  • Min specs meet
  • Saved on the same drive (launcher and game)
  • Mods in Steam

There is an issue causing either the update for the game or the save for the game. I've never seen that go missing personally so it is an odd one.

Can we please try the following and see if the steps work for a new game?

  • Uninstall the game
  • Move your saved files so there is nothing old to load Steps for Steam
  • Download CCleaner Here
  • Use the registry cleaner first
  • Run cleaner - click repair all - back up no
  • Then clean out the browser files

Reinstall the game as normal with a wired connection - start a new game with the same setup, and see what happens.

    @EA_Shepard I use ccleaner regularly but stop it after cleaning registry.
    I have uninstalled then deleted steam folders and reinstalled.
    I am running a ROG Ryzen7 and nvidia rtx 2060 S
    I have started 2 more game since and never run into the same bug twice, the latest progress stopper was not being able to activate the the beacon in Virmire even after I restarted PC then verified files in steam.
    I am at the point of just not playing the game because it just doesnt work.

    but it is on a different drive to steam and I am moving it to that drive soon as it DLs.

  • It was most probably the other drive that was causing the problems as it runs much smoother now and no bugs at all so far.
