Mass Effect Andromeda Not Saving Game

I could not save anything on my second play through. Change over to my twin, started a new game plus played for like 3 hours and could not save . Tried reset on Xbox one, did the LOOOONNNGGGG first mission again, (because you can ont save on priority missions, only to find out again, that I can not save. Had over 100 manual saves on my first play though. So I decided to delete and drop down to about 40 manual save files. Still nothing. So had to do the long first mission again, but decided to rebooot/reset again. Now I can save. Do not know what it is exactly, but be carful . Make sure you chech that your game is being saved, before wasting multiple hours of play for nothing.

   I think my download and install actually didn't create the files that the game would save data into. Look under Documents/BioWare/... and see if there is a file for "Mass Effect Andromeda" there. If not, you'll need to make one. Then, go back to the BioWare (and possibly the "Mass Effect Andromeda" ) file and right click on it. Click on "Properties", and then click on "Security".  Look at the names in the window that says "Group or User Names", click on each of those and see what "Permissions" they have. If the one with your name or the Admin access are missing some checks (like read and write), hit the "Edit..." button and give that User/Admin access (The "Special Permissions" box will almost never check, so I didn't worry about it.).

   Even if the "Read Only" box comes back ticked, my game saves and other data are all still being kept, so it feels safe to say that that particular thing can be ignored, if all the rest starts to work for you like mine did.
