Hi,
I got the free trial version of DAI and after playing 3h, what seems to be the max time u get, though its said to be playable 6h but nvm, i got myself the real version of the game. I thought i could just continue my savegame from the trial version but that seems not to be the case. Is there any method i can extract the file and reimplant it into the new version that i now have to download again?
tyvm for ur help 🙂
well i cant tell for the full version but the trial works just fine connecting to ea servers makes no problem there. I already activated the game on origin and am now downloading it.
It would be helpful if you could fix the bigger problem, which is the Trial locking us out after three hours instead of six hours as this says.

I wonder what would cause that. Maybe it's tied to the framerate, since the trial was originally on Xbox One, which runs the game at a low 30fps.
In any case, no one here can fix this problem, because Answer HQ is a community driven forum and no one here is a software developer at BioWare.
The original choices we were offered as Avatar options were very minimal, and only the Moderator types have access now to the fancy looking badge images. At the time I held the Hero's rank, it was only a mark of senior status, not a volunteer moderator level here. Most of the Trial Limit options have a single clock that keeps running the first time the game is started, and pays no attention to whether the gamer is actually playing or not.
The EA Help Center has a very faulty estimated waiting time clock onscreen for the Live Chat that has no real relationship to time unless it is at the 3-4 minute mark and less.
Trying to solve my own problem, I inadvertently solved yours.
I went through the 3 hour Trial as well, and decided to buy the game.. Instead of spending $40 on Origin, I went to some other massive e-retailer, and picked it up for $30.. activated the code through Origin, and was very disappointed to learn I needed to re-download the game. It took me a week to download the trial (I live in the middle of nowhere.. slow internet is the only downside) Ugh.
So on a whim, I started the download, let it proceed long enough to create the file path. I then copied everything in the trial folder into the "full version" folder. After 5 minutes of validating files, I needed to download about 100mb of data..
An hour later :eahigh_file: I clicked launch game and was greeted to a little window saying "No cloud saves detected" with 2 options: (something to the effect of) #1: Delete local saves, or #2 Use local saves and update the cloud.
You want to use your local saves. Took me another few minutes (grrr slow internet) to update the cloud, but my party is there, my loot is there, and more importantly the character I spent half of that 3 hour trial making is there.
