Forum Discussion
Just leaving this here in case someone came here from Google:
Always make sure the save folder isn't set to read only. This is an issue some people had when upgrading to Windows 10.
i have it on a disk and whenever it said save i purposly exit the game after just to check but when i look at it there is no game saved plz help
@goldenpheonix190 Did you try the solution posted by @Fred_vdp in the comment just above yours? Just to add some tutorial steps, this is done from the File Explorer app (there should be a folder icon shortcut for it on the taskbar by default, otherwise you can search for it on the Start menu). The folder you're looking for is located in This PC->Documents->BioWare as shown in the screen capture below:
Right-click on the Dragon Age folder and click on Properties, then you'll see the following:
Untick Read-only here in the Attributes section if it is ticked, then click Apply and see if it works.
@JanePhoenix i tried this now, but doesn't work. ☹️ i buied this game yesterday and this error suddenly appears
- @Anna_Hideyuki What other steps have you taken to try fix the problem? Can you try reinstalling the game with administrator privileges? To avoid redownloading all the files make a backup copy of the game installation folder to your desktop or anywhere else (by default it's under C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games). Uninstall the game after making the backup. Now exit Origin. Right-click on your Origin shortcut and select Run as Administrator, enter administrator password and/or click Yes on the prompt to allow the application to make changes. Now copy the backup folder back to its original location, and after this has completed click to Download the game in Origin once more. It should verify existing files. Once this has completed successfully you can delete the backup folder from your desktop or wherever you copied it to. Finally run the game again and check if you are now able to create saves.
