Re: Can't save any game since EA Launcher

@kankaras 

This is likely a permissions problem.

What changed on your machine since you could save in 2021?

(Virusscanner?, other security software?, security settings you changed?, do you use onedrive?)

Did you tried to run EA app and the game as Administrator?

    Thank you for your reply.

    I use one drive yes but only for other documents. I have the regular windows defender. I checked the permissions on my defender and there was everthing enabled.

    I runed at Admin but it didn't change anything. I still can't save any game.

    I don't mean anti virus or defender permissions, in this case it is more likely that file system permissions are botched.

    But lets check OneDrive first.

    The standard Save folder of the MELE is "C:\Users\>Dein Benutzername<\Dokumente\Bioware\Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Save\[Game Folder].

    I that should be the path to the folder the save are in, is that right?

    Take a look into your "OneDrive" folder if there is a "Bioware\Mass Effect Legendary Edition..." folder anywhere.

    If you can find any search your PC for "*.pcsav" files. If you find any outside of the above folder tell us the exact path.

    Okay I moved a long time ago the documents folder once to my Harddisk. Because I wanted to save some space on the SSD. Since I moved it back to the SSD which is my windows installed, I can save again. Its kinda embarrasing but I thought this should be possible somehow. Anyways it worked, I could save again and I'm very happy. Thank you for your help!

    Kind regards
