Okay, so you copied the game files from G-drive to C-drive (thus the "completed instantly")? I'm admittedly grasping at straws, but ...
Maybe it's time to delete all the ME2 game files (except make a copy of the Save folder & files!!), delete the Origin cache, and completely re-download ME2?
Separate, but related Q to @holger1405 :
Maybe it would help to get some clarity on what cloud saves vs. local saved games are doing? I can't understand their behavior...
I have cloud save usage set (ME3). When I save a game, it clearly shows on my local drive. This happens whether I save when I'm online or offline (tried both). When I go back to Origin -->ME3 -->Game Properties -->Cloud Saves, the text at bottom reads that it will "restore last local saved game", "will restore data from [an older date ~2 months ago]", Yet I clearly have local saves from today. I didn't click on it as I was just testing and didn't want to screw anything up. What is it doing??
I backed up the save folder to c:\users\rhall\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 2\Save
I completely uninstalled all Mass Effect Games.
I disabled Cloud backups in the Origin app.
I ran origin as an administrator and installed the games to the C:\ drive
I launched ME3, went to import ME2 character and there were no characters to select.
There is a serious F***** problem here.
I have now completely uninstalled all Mass effect games, and Origin.
I have cleaned up the registry to removed traces of uninstalled apps.
I have deleted all files and folders containing the name "origin" or "mass effect" or "bioware"
I am now going to reinstall everything from scratch and see if it detects this save folder in its correct default location...
Complete reinstall from scratch and save file from ME2 in standard location is not being detected.
What kind or official support and recourse is available for this issue?
They are hit and (often) miss when it comes to ME. They'll run through a bunch of the usual checklist operations, many of which you've already done. But since this appears to be an install/PC issue, maybe they'll find something we haven't. Good luck!
EA support was unable to be of any assistance.
Even the workaround suggested with the configuration tool wont work because the ME3 configuration tool errors out when running it.
I dont understand how these issues havent been ironed out after all these years.
