Re: mass effect saves issue

Oh my god, it still doesn't work! xD

I don't know if I should be crying, or amazed hahaha!

did you reboot after installing?

I just did, and unfortunately still not working...

At first I thought it just has some issue creating the save file (because of those empty files, which disappeared after exiting the folder), but if it doesn't even load the existing ones (meaning the saves You sent me), then I have no idea, what's going on ☹️

It is a demanding Problem. 🙂

I tested a few thinks on my PC, maybe I found a workaround.

But just test one more thing before, because I am troubled by the fact that Mass Effect can't access the save files I send you.

Go to your Mass Effect "Save" folder right click on the Folder "properties" > "Security" >"Edit" > "Add" > "Advanced" > "Find now" search for "Authenticated User" click on it > "OK" the next window should have "Authenticated User" in it > OK again. 

Now you should be back in the "Permission for Folder" Window, click on "Authenticated User" give him every permission (you can't give him Special Permissions" that is OK) click on "OK" and in the next window OK again. > Test

If that not works do the same thing for "Everyone" instead of "Authenticated User"

I tried mingling with the "security" permissions, but still, no saving, and no loading of the borrowed saves xD

For some reason after changing that line of text, I couldn't see Your borrowed saved games anymore.

HOWEVER! Drumroll...

The saving worked! I was almost losing hope! :D 

Thank You so much :D

Hopefully if anyone encounters such issue in the future, this thread will have enough information for anyone to fix it :D

Thats because we changed the save location from your "My documents folder" to your secondary drive. In your "Mass Effect\Binaries" folder is now a strange named folder with your save games.

Well, it is a rather crude workaround. Still, make a copy of the "DefaultEngine.ini" as it is now in case that Mass Effect or origin override the file. You can also set it to read only.

I hope, but can't be entirely sure, that the relocation of the save folder do not cause any other problems with the game.

Have fun playing the Game, and thanks for the XP.
