The pictures I take in photomode aren't saving.Checked in documents/Bioware/Mass Effect Legendary Edition/Screenshots as well as in the Origins Games folder.

So I found out what's happening, at least in my case.The photos aren't saving where I thought they would be saving. I thought they would be found here: Steam Library\steamapps\common\Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Game\ME1\BioGame\ScreenShotsInstead, they are actually being saved here: Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect Legendary Edition\ScreenShotsWhen you take a screenshot, it creates a folder in the first directory. But it also creates one in the Documents folder and actually stores the screenshots there.

PC: Photomode pictures nowhere to be found

I am also having this problem. My photos aren't saving. Checked the correct folders. I spent 6 hours taking painstaking photos, but it never seemed to do anything when I pressed the spacebar. I would hear a shutter sound after I exited completely from the photo mode, but apparently none of the hundreds of photos I took ever saved. Fail.

Same. My wife and I own the game each on our PCs and both have the same issue.

A quick question @Ink_Pants @2wings4venus @ManicGlitter are other settings saving for you?

@EA_Atic yes, everything else is working fine for me. Settings are saving.
Just the photos aren't.

To add to @Ink_Pants' post, if you have multiple Documents folders it'll be the users\*yourusername*\Documents one.

So on my "David" Windows profile the screenshots show at C:\Users\David\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect Legendary Edition\ScreenShots

In the first "documents/BioWareMassEffec Legendary Edition\ScreenShots" there is nothing even after taking a screenshot with the space bar, and in C:/Users/MyName/Documents there is no BioWare folder...

There is nothing there, in any of the folders. So this is not solved at all.
