No or minimal loot drop

Due to abrupt shutdown my cloud save became corrupt causing no or minimal loot drop after battles. Since first playthrough is already permanently saved to cloud. It automatically downloads the save after installing the game. If I delete it, it comes back. Clearing cache, App recovery, reinstall, formatting machine nothing works as the issue is with online cloud save. Any solution??

    I would be surprised if the saves are the cuprite here. But anyway.

    The saves in the cloud are a mirror of your local saves. (C:\Users\>Your user name<\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect\Save" respectively Mass Effect 2 & Mass Effect 3)

    • Make sure EA app is closed.
    • Disconnect the PC from the internet.
    • Move the "Save" folder to your Desktop.
    • Open EA app > Start Mass Effect > You should get a warn message about possible lost cloud saves > apply.
    • Create a new Shepard and play until you can save for the first time and save the game.
    • Connect your PC to the internet.
    • Now the cloud saves should be replaced with the one save you just made.
