Re: dragon age origin

I check what you suggest and I believe it's not applicable to my case, I don't need to do a backup, I'm just trying to play again after a couple of years. So I don't really have a "backup" of my game with setting I know will work. So installation it's my only option.

There is where the problems come, I install the game properly, and I can play it properly, even if I try to save a game, I can. But when I try to load it, even seconds after saving it (quick save or regular save), the game doesn,'t appear. So I can't save, that the main thing.

I think the first time I found this problem Origin was offline, I put it online now to see if anything changes and I reinstalling it again in the first and proper location.

I can go to my character on my documents, and I found all of them except any character I wanna create now, I only have the ones I create years ago.

    Hey, the article mentions backups, but you can use the steps in it to just move an existing install, so that you don't need to download fresh. 

    In any case it sounds like the game is referencing the wrong save location. Was your older install a non-Origin one?

    If you check your Programs & Features in the Control Panel is there a duplicate install of Dragon Age, by any chance?

    Every time I install it and play it was on this laptop through origin.

    I'm Installing it again now, I just realize the previous install folder was on C:/program files/origin games/dragon age/ bin_ship
    And now I put on default, it is just in C:/program files/origin games


    So I don't know if that was the problem with the saving route or not, let know it in 10 min, but I'm having much of hope.

    could be something DiVx related?

    Okay, I just move the folder bioware from C: to D: and link it back to my folders, like a shortcut.

    And it works

    Good to know, if your saves are being correctly created/stored then I'm happy. 🙂

    Cheers!
