Mass Effect 2 can't save progress + bugs
I can't get mass effect 2 to save anything or load (load screen picture attached) My game crashes a lot and is very bugged. If I die, the game continues the death scene but nothing happens when I click resume. I've tried re-downloading origin and the game completely and contacted EA 3 times for help to no avail. I checked the mass effect 2 folders and do not have any save folders (picture attached) but Im not sure that's relevant.
Things I have tried
Flush DNS - restart
Repair both games as I have the deluxe version and the normal version
Run origin as admin
Cleared cache - deleting origin folders
windowed mode
Any help is greatly appreciated.
OK.
Because of the unusual file structure on your machine you should make a backup of your important files under D: if you not already have done that.
Then:
- The "Documents" folder is still present directly under D:? If not recreate it.
- Make sure Origin is completely closed.
- Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
- Type or copy and paste "regedt32" (Without the quotes.) into the new Window > ENTER.
- Navigate to the following Registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders - Double click on "Personal" in the "Name" window.
- Change the "Value" to "D:\Documents" (Without the quotes, make sure that there are no typos." > confirm = Click on "OK"
- Restart the PC. (a real "Restart", not just shut down and start again.
- Now there should be a "Documents" folder in the side bar of your Windows explorer.
- Move the folders you want inside the standard "Documents" folder from the root of D: into the new "Documents" folder.
- Start Origin > Start the game > Test.
