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

Well It isn't saving at all. Cloud is turned off,  done to try to save.  NADA No difference! I saved my game auto/quick and a regular save.  It is NOT showing up in my save folder.  SO there is no way to save my games since this update.  Any ideas?   I also Paused My Kaspersky Protection.  My Windows security for Mass Effect is set for Moderate so it won't get in the way.   Like I asked before, Any Ideas??? ☹️

    @edtheaminal  Please list the full path to the Save folder, as Holger1405 requested.  And let us know whether you've redirected Documents to G or done something else to move the MELE user data folder.

    Please also let us know whether you use OneDrive.

    This might be a wider issue. I’m on Xbox one and the saves also aren’t working. Fortunately I can at least save (and then hit resume to load it from the launcher), but there’s nit way to look at the save info or load any saves (nothing is displayed…). 

    Was absolutely fine until the update. This is in ME2; number 1 seems fine.

    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.

    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
