New Update for Mass Effect Legendary Reverting to time of update after dying,

Mass effect legendary new update is bugged.  IS THERE A WAY TO UNINSTALL THE NEW UPDATE???    I can't save and continue if I get killed.   Upon dying I'm taken back to the save I had when I updated.   I found this out TWICE  in 6hours.   The first time I thought well ok, and started from my last save.  I've saved ( quick save and regular save many times in a 6 hour play.  When I was killed it took me back to when I updated, 6 hours before.  6 hours of play and ALL gone.  the saves were gone and are NOT in my save game file either ( I'm currently playing Mass Effect 2 Legendary)  If possible let me dump this new update or fix this issue!   thank you   it was 6 hours later when I made my last save than is listed in this folder   I am playing in NORMAL mode

    I got it saving.  I put Mass Effect 2 saves and the whole Mass effect into exclusions.  I also Disabled Windows defender and Windows security. Took forever to find the exclusions.  Something in the new update is different for Mass Effect 2.  But I'm now finally able to save.  THANK YOU EVERYONE for all your help.  It took  all your feedback to get me thinking what could possibly not allow it to work.  And I did try all the ideas 🙂    Thank you again    Ed

    Nope I don't use One drive. To be honest I had to look it up to see what it was.  I know my hardware pretty well, ( I built this system)  but when it comes to software  not so much ☹️

    To be clear, this is probably not a problem with the game, it is fare more likely that something on your System is blocking the saves or that they are saved at the wrong place. 

    Search your system for *.pcsav files.

    If you find some outside the "C:\Users\>your user name<\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Save\ME2" folder, tell us the exact phat.

  • It’s also a problem on an Xbox One so I think there is something with the game as well. 

  • C:\Users\end-user\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Save\ME2\Sarina_21_Soldier_260521_31af905\Save_0037.pcsav   Everything is in it's proper place.  Everything worked GREAT till the new update.  Now I cannot save the game at all.
