Is there a way to recover my save data for Mass effect legendary?
I did a fresh install of windows 11 and I assumed most data was backup to one-drive but when I started Mass effect LE, my progress was lost. I was halfway thru the second game and don't want to lose 90 hrs of progress. Is there anyway to recover this data? Its been about a month since this happened and I didn't think about writing here until now.
The standard save folder for the MELE is "C:\Users\>Your user name<\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Save\ME1" (respectively ME2 & ME3).
If you didn't moved the System User Folders from your system drive, this location was purged during the installation of Windows 11.
If you used OneDrive to back up your "Documents" folder it is possible that your saves are still available inside your OneDrive folder.
The game however will only "see" them if you move them from your one drive folder into the folder outlined above.
If you use Origin it is possible but not very likely that there is one save left in the cache.
In Origin go to your game library > right click the MELE cover > Game Properties > Cloud save > Restore last local saved game.
Unfortunately, if all this doesn't work, there is no way to restore your saves.
