Phantom Screenshots
#1
Posté 12 novembre 2010 - 10:11
I have deleted all of my screenshots, most of my personal photos, and all of my PC characters in an attempt to clear out 'phantom' screenshot files. BSN says I have 60 screenshots and this is putting me over the file limit. I cannot re-upload my characters properly and hence have no avatar. I have been trying to fix this and am getting insanely frustrated.
Notes: I have also deleted all of my screenshots in the actual game menu as well. I have also deleted all of my console screenshots and a few of those characters even though I believe the console file maximum is separate from the PC maximum.
Let me know if I am not making any sense. I am at my wits end, and hence, nearly witless.

Nobody offered any advice there so I'll tag along with you and see if anything turns up here.

Im having this issue. I had no idea how to get at my screenies any other way, so i clicked for them to upload, and they did. I saved those on my comp and went in game to delete them to repeat the process, but its not showing

Apparently no one has any answers for us, Namira. I have PM'd moderators, but received no response.
Lol, maybe theyre busy dealing with all the messed up Ultimate Editions
Think im gonna have to go to the screenshots folder and create a new folder on the BSN, then just upload and delete that way...
Thanks Meta, i was certain i had a flick through that folder to look for them after first taking some

Since it only reports 8 Screenshots, you may be able to solve your problem another way. Under profile diagnostics see which characters have the most extra files. Delete those under manage characters. Re-upload your character. Hopefully, if you do this a few times you will be under your file maximum, but it still doesn't solve your phantom screenshot problem.

OK so this was my profile diagnostic:

and I deleted several characters giving this:

and this is the character manager after editing/deleting characters:

The first four characters on profile diagnostic do not exist on the character screen!!!!!!!
They are accounting for 13 phantom files...and I have those 8 screenshots that do not exist in the screenshot album - which is empty/blank
Thanks for the advice
It has reduced my files, but I am still left with 'deleted characters' on my profile diagnostic.
These deleted characters have shown on this file for months since deletion
I do not even remember having Antonia's 3 and 4?????

Thanks to Darth Midville, and Snoteye/Arlana Tabris for the link.
I'll try this out later.
However, it appears that there is no solution for phantom screenshots yet.
Hopefully there will be one soon .

I know that Dragon Age 2 is coming out and technical issues tend to stop being attended to with the older games...but come on. Don't let EA consume your soul. They're bastards, but you guys still have souls. Help us.

Thank you, legend. Well said. They don't have to give us more space, just more allowed files.

Having the same problem with phantom screen shots. I've been holding off leveling my mage because of this. It really wouldn't be half the the problem it is if they just kept the cap at 100 files... but what ever... I don't run things...
Anyway! Anyone happen to know if you register a Dragon Age Ultimate Edition along side a normal copy if it doubles the cap. Or just ignores one of the copies? Assuming they're both of the same platform of course.
