Re: How do I delete old cloud saves

Is it even possible to sync DAO/DA2 saves to the Origin cloud? Given the limited size of the allowed on-line storage, and the relatively large size of the saves, I'm not sure if there's much reason to even bother. By the time one is about 30% through the game the saves can exceed the max size.

For example, I have a single character (out of the several dozen I've created) who isn't even past the Landsmeet yet, and has just eight saves, (three "AutoSaves", one "Quicksave", and four "named saves".) That one character's total is 140MB! [EDIT: Just realized those figures were for one of my DAO characters, but same size-of-saves constraints apply to DA2.]

(By comparison, my ME3 saves (for about a half-dozen characters) are measured in tens of KB, not hundreds of MB.)

Of course that's an issue that you will have with many games (Sims 3 saves for example are HUGE). The Origin team has done a lot with the client in the last few weeks and I know that they have plans for further improvements. Let's see what the future brings.

Right, and I look forward to whatever the Origin Team might have cookin'... 😕mileywink:

But the OP is asking about cloud saves for DA2. I'm saying that, as it's currently operating, there's just not much point in trying.

It will only lead to disappointment when something happens and the player thinks, "It's ok, I had 'sync with cloud' turned on." 😕mileysad:

I know it's only four year alter but I have the same problem 🙂

The Origin Client starts automatically if I launch DA2 and immediately downloads the saves.

- disable cloud save in the client

- start the game and create a new save, then exit

- enable cloud save in the client

- start the game and continue your new save
