ME2 LE can't see the saves

Hello everyone. I ran into a problem: when I launch Mass effect 2 LE, the game does not see my saves. I have already gone through the prologue twice, the first time I forgot to save the game, and the second, having already learned from bitter experience, I began to do them, but today, when entering the game, there is no button to continue the game or at least download. There is only a new game, an exit and additions. Although there are my manually made saves in the documents folder.

  • @id_sic  These two files are not saves, just saved settings.  Inside the Save > ME2 folder, you'd see a folder with the name of your Shepard, with saves inside that.  If it's not there, your saves are gone or were never created.

    Is your Documents directory in OneDrive?  If you're not sure, search in Windows for Command Prompt, open it, and enter this command:

    reg query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" /v "Personal"

    This will list the location of your Documents directory; let me know what it says.  You can write username instead of your actual username if you want, but please leave the rest of the file path intact.

    If your Documents folder is not in OneDrive, please let me know what antivirus you use.

    I have already solved the problem. In general, the fact is that Windows 11 has built-in controlled folder access by default, which protects folders such as "documents", "videos", "music", etc. This controlled access blocks suspicious applications from accessing folders that are considered system folders.
    In general, it is worth adding the EA App and the ME2LE executive file to the list of exceptions, saves will be created and everything will be fine.
    But thanks a lot for the help
