Ok, here is the problem. Even if you change the location of the standard installations folder for ME3 in Origin (I did that too) the save games should still be in your "C:\Users\>your user name<\Documents\Bioware\Mass Effect 3\Save" folder. Normally you would access that folder in the Windows Explorer side bar over "Library > Documents" but navigate to that folder by hand (started from C) and look if it contains the same Data you access over the Explorer sidebar.
That you old saves are in "D:Bioware\MassEffect3\Save" means either that ME3 could not access your "Documents" folder or that the location of your Windows "Documents" folder was changed by hand. (If the content of the folders I mentioned above are different the "Documents" folder location was changed.
If so, try this:
- close Origin completely.
- create a folder named "Documents" in the root of your D: drive. (Directly under the drive letter.)
- use this guide to move your Windows Documents folder to the new created "Documents" folder on your D: drive. (allow Windows to move the already existing files to that folder)
- reboot.
- test
If that don't helps, create a new user account (Admin) > reboot > logon to this new account and test.
Dear Holger,
Sorry to keep bothering you. I did as you suggested. However what seems to happen now is that ME3 keeps creating that "Bioware" folder in drive d with the old saved games and still not allowing new ones.
I don't understand as I did the same thing for ME2 and it works and set up fine.
Attached new dxdiag file. ☹️
