ok, found the save game path but the new characters/careers aren't saving there.
OK, the path is "Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 3\Save?
Also navigate in the Windows Explorer to this ">drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 3\Binaries\Win32" path.
right click the "MassEffect3.exe" > Run as Administrator. > test if the game saves to that location now.
Dear Holger,
Path is D:Bioware\MassEffect3\Save the only saved games there are the old characters. I have also tried importing other characters from ME2 (i.e. different name/class/etc) and I can play the game. when I try to save it brings me to the save screen but no save game name just create new save. Clicking it will say game was saved. But you can't load (as no list of saved games appears) and no new character appears in the save game directory.
Strangely Me2 is working fine. ☹️
BTW the other path is d:OriginGames\MassEffect 3\MassEffect 3\Binaries\win32
Tried it, strated a new game no change to the folder but the file localfile.sav updated and no new character folder. ☹️
I've searched all other drives already and that's the only one that seems to be being accessed or containing saved games.
Really frustrated.
Super thanks for your patience and help because my ticket for EA is open for several days and no reply.
No problem.
But your save game location should be in your "Documents" folder. So there is no Bioware Folder in your "Documents" folder at all?
Please create a DxDiag in text file format and post it with your next reply. You can do that with the "choose file" button at the bottom right corner of the reply window.
Dear Holger,
There is a bioware folder. It's just empty. When I set up the Origin app. I had it point to drive D and everything loaded/saved there. ME2 is working perfectly ☹️
Please find attached dxdiag.
