I'm still on Steam install. No mods.
System specs:
OS: Windows 7
CPU: Intel Core(TM) i7, 2 cores, 2.67 GHz
Memory: 8 GB
Graphics: NVIDIA Quadro FX 880M
Truly bizarre. Something is obviously broken/severly bent on your install.
What results do you get if your search your drive for [ *.das ] ("dragon age save") files?
What are the contents of your "\Users\<username>\BioWare\Dragon Age\Characters" folder?
Should look something like this (I have the "named" characters Cadan and Davit):
Folder PATH listing for volume Diskname
Volume serial number is 1A2B-3C4D
C:\USERS\<username>\DOCUMENTS\BIOWARE\DRAGON AGE

The pattern repeats for each save for each character for each Campaign/DLC...

Do you see something significantly different?
- Anonymous12 years ago
I don't see anything radically different from what you showed here. That's how it looks for my old saves.
I got nothing else.
Never heard of this before. I have doezens of characters, and GBs (yes, gigabytes) of saves for several of them,
Sure you're not running into a disc-space or absolute path+filename length (256 characters) limit?
Since I refuse to use Steam for any game that doesn't absolutely require it, if I were in this situation I'd do a complete un-/re-install using the EA/Origin version. No charge, your product code is still vaild.
- Anonymous12 years agoI'm positive that those are not an issue. On the more positive note the problem seems to have gone away. I don't know how but it did.
What I'm thinking is that the game, for some reason, couldn't access the save location. What the reason for this was I couldn't say because I changed nothing in that regard. I'm glad that the problem is gone though. - Glad it sorted itself. Guess it's just a puzzle...
