Re: Origin Cloud Deleted my local saves!

I log in to origin and it tells me that the dates on my save files don't match. Apparently, the save files it has on the cloud are newer. So I click on the option to "grab the newer saves from the cloud." When I log in, the "new data" is from 2 days ago. When I try to get my old saves back, I realize this option has rendered all of that 20 or so hours of gameplay completely erased. 

Can we get some help on this please? Is there no way to get this back?

    I have found that turning off cloud saves on ORIGIN and installing Game Saves Manager and attaching it to Google Drive (or whatever cloud service you like to use) with the "sync & link" option is the best way to go with all game saves. Including Steam, Battlenet, Uplay, Origin, GOG, ect. I only turn off the cloud saves on Origin because their cloud likes to headbutt against Game Saves Manager because their cloud is soooo bad. It's a relatively painless process and it will automatically backup any game saves you have on any platform... even the ones that Steam doesn't have on Steam Cloud... it's pretty awesome because it saves all game saves to wherever you want on your computer and also saves a copy of everything onto Google Drive (or whatever cloud service it is you like to use) in case you have an HDD failure.

  • How is this helpful if  it's not a solution to saves not saved with this program you're talking about?!
