Timer and synch glitch (RA1 saves for TS and Renegade)

Interesting. RA2 and Tiberian Sun were on quite similar engines so I can see why the time tracker could get mixed up there, but Renegade is as different a game as possible. 

As for the bit in the middle, am i understanding it properly, it forces a save resync if you install TS or Renegade?

At a guess it sounds like due to the bundle nature of the TUC content these 3 games somehow got the same internal identifier, leading to a duplicated activity tracker and sync prompt. 

Thanks for the post, it's a relatively minor issue but hopefully we can get it resolved.

When I launch "Tiberian Sun" or "Renegade" it will sychronize all saves from RA1 (of course, they are not visible and won't work). The more interesting thing - saves from RA1 disappear and don't work launching this game. RA2 works correctly with separate time registration and saves. So, for now I don't install "Renegade" and TS.

I advise you to simply disable cloud saves in these games' Origin properties, then. That should fix the savegame problems, at least.

Tried. Doesn't work.

That's quite odd. Looking into this I have the same issue where the games will share their played time (only 3 hours for me, I'm a lightweight). but I haven't been able to replicate the save overwrite/wipe bug. 

Perhaps if you clear your Origin cache that'll help? It can help fix some odd issues.

Made everything from that page. Same as before.

Tried to launch Origin on another PC with different OS - same effect.

How very strange. Are the games installed to the C drive? It's curious that the issue replicates on a new system, but that I can't seem to replicate here. I'll try on another machine and see if I can recreate it. 

Initially installed on C drive.

Tried on D because of more space. All the same.

Also the same ammount of time played is displayed in web browser.

Thanks. I'm not too concerned about the same time being displayed as while it's an issue that needs addressing, it's not as impacting as having save files deleted. 

I wonder, have you ever had C&C games installed on this system pre-Origin? It seems like a long shot, but I wonder if this is a factor. 

For now it seems the workaround is to manually keep a backup of your saves and replace them when you play/install one of the other games, but I'd like to figure out exactly what's happening too. 

I had "Tiberian Dawn" installed (as it is free), "Generals" and "Red Alert 2" (in Origin) before buying full compilation. First C&C - was not in Origin. All of these games show correct time and have correct save sync.
