Mass Effect folder keeps deleting copied saves?

So, long story short, my last computer totally fried, so a friend is trying to help piggyback me into a NG+ by "importing" her saves (since we made a lot of the same decisions etc). Funny thing is, every single time I copy her character folder into my saves folder and run the game, the game deletes it. Why does this happen and how do I make it ( Read more... )

I think it might be Origin's cloud save feature. If you go into My Games and right-click ME3, there's a 'Show Game Details' option. Pick that, then go to the 'Cloud Storage' tab. Disable cloud saves if it's enabled, then try copying those saves over again.

I'd hazard a guess it's related to you and she having different EA/Bioware IDs, but that might be me. I'm not sure if the save files are editable for this purpose or not.

Turns out I'm just an idiot.

Nah, not an idiot. Just distracted. I do stuff like this all the time!

I'm glad you got it resolved. :)

Pack 4 is Retaliation. It should be in your ME3 install folder, under BIOGame\DLC\DLC_CON_MP4
