So I fixed my problem. I had installed DA:O via steam.
I uninstalled it, and re-installed via my origin account, and now works perfectly.
Then I bought the ultimate edition for all the add-ons anyway.
I tried to replicate the issue, but it's working fine on my Windows 10 PC.
If you go to the save folder in Windows, can you see the new save files there, or only the old ones? The saves should be stored under 'Documents - BioWare - Dragon Age - Characters - <character name> - save'.
Is it also possible that the game duplicated your character and that the new save file is stored under a different character profile with the same name?
I was also having an issue. Started new game after upgrading to Win10. Created different character than first playthrough. Played for awhile, saved and quit. When I went to resume game, it started a game from years ago. Went to load screen, and new save was not there. Tried deleting old saves from game menu, but would not delete. Went into save folder and deleted old saves from there, they are no longer available. Restarted game, played for a bit, saved game, no save file, either in game or in save folder. Any help would be appreciated
Deleted all Dragon age files and folders, re-installed game. Started a new game and tried to save. Does not work. Looked in the "documents" folder Bioware-Dragonage- Characters. characters folder not there after re-install.
The in game save says it saved, but evidently it doesn't know where it saved it to.
Working, the problem was with permissions on the Bioware folder.
