ME2 reverts settings to default and crashes when changing them back

This issue recently arose after playing the game with no other problems for weeks prior.

From the main menu, my settings are as I like: subtitles on, squad using powers off, auto leveling off. But when I load into my saved game, the options all revert to default, undoing all of this. When I attempt to change them back, the game crashes and I'm back to square one.

Looking around, I haven't seen anyone with this same problem. Hopefully there's a solution, at least.

    • Turn off "Cloud storage" in Origin.
      (Origin menu > Origin > Application Settings > Install & Saves > Cloud storage > Off (Grey)
    • If you use Steam you don't have to do anything, unless you have added Mass Effect 2 manually to Streams cloud save function.
    • Make sure Origin or Steam are completely closed.
    • Go to "C:\Users\>your username>\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 2" folder and move the "Save" folder and the "BIOGame" folder to your desktop.
      (Just to make this clear, the named folders must be gone from the "C:\Users\>your username>\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 2" path.)
    • Test.
