Transferring Origin Cloud save to Steam.

[Sky653]

I originally played this game on Origin's 48 hour trial. Ive gotten quite abit of progress in it but I ended up deciding to purchase the game through Steam. Is there anyway to get the save from Origin cloud to work in Steam Cloud, so that I can get my same save back?

Yes. You'll need to find the local copy of the save game in the Origin folders.

Try here:
C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\Reckoning\

Copy the latest .sav file to somewhere else like your desktop.

Open your Steam version of Reckoning. Make a character, doesn't matter since it'll soon be overwritten. Save the character. Now, you need to find the save game for Steam.

Mine is here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<usernumber>\102500\remote\

The Steam program id is 102500 -- you can see that in the URL if you go to the Steam store on the Web and search for it.

The new save file that you just made with the Steam version of Reckoning should be the latest .sav file. Copy the name of the save file. Go to the copy of the Origin .sav that you stashed away (say, on your Desktop) and rename it to exactly the same as the Steam file name.

Then copy the Origin .sav to the Steam folder above and overwrite Steam's saved game. Now, you should be able to pick up where you left off in Reckoning.

Just to be safe, I named my profile in Steam's Reckoning to the same as in the Origin Reckoning -- but I don't know if it matters.

Hope that made sense. Good luck.

Gonna bump this, since it might proof useful for some :) Thanks blade_race

My 'save' option is greyed out. I made it to the village and looted the DLC chest just fine but i still can't save. Really desperate to import my Origin savegames because I already finished the main game and most of the DLC.

He!! ya, who should know that the steam .sav files is on this place? Thank you blade!

Just wanted to say thanks for this! Bought the complete bundle in the sale (because it was cheaper than even a single DLC) and would never have worked this out on my own!

Thanks. Will the Steam-Achievements automatically be recognized from the Origin-Savegame-File?

Yeah. I also need to know this to not waste the effort in completing a hard task while owning the game in Origin. It would be a waste if we can't transfer the achievements that has already been finished in the Origin save.

Just for the record, once I did this my achievements started rolling in, so yes thankfully it does recognize achievements.

i love you and thanks for this i was worried i would have to start over to have the DLC since i have owned it on Origin for a long time and just bought it on Steam. So much love

Thank you so much, you can get the whole collection on steam for the price of a single DLC on origin... So this will be very helpful!
