I am seeing only two options now after the Origin patch when i click on 'play game.'
 
Option 1) Delete Your Local Game Saves  <<<<<--------- WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS WOULD WANT TO DO THAT???

Option 2) Upload Your Local Game Saves To The Cloud <<<<<<--------- what if i don't want to use Origin's cloud?

So i can either use Origin's cloud or lose all my game saves?? WTF??

Hit cancel - right click on the game. Show Game Details --> Cloud Storage Tab --> Uncheck Enable cloud storage

Done. I got pretty pissed off at it too.

They don't want ANY of this stuff on your box.  It's about control. :\\

It's one of the things that is making ME3 the last game I buy.  Losts of cool lookin games coming down the pipe too.  Oh well.

BioWare.. you might want to talk to EA.  A lot of us older gamers who remember how things used to be don't appreciate it.  Worried about lost rev to piracy, worry about lost rev to hacked off customers.

You can turn it off, and it's convenient for people who play with multiple PCs.  I'm not sure what the problem is here.

[Alec709]

I have to agree with Dup3r here. The problem is you are NOT offered the option to disable cloud saves. I had to go online to find out how to disable cloud saving; it's not obvious that you can choose not to use the cloud until someone tells you.

[JSU76]

I noticed after the update that it was already selected to be on and in use, until I went in and disabled cloud storage. I prefer not to use the cloud and store it locally myself. New update blows btw!

Yeah, I think this is a dick move. Thanks MACharlie1 for the tip. Cloud is now off, and staying off. At the very least, the disable Cloud storage option should be included along with the sync tab. Seriously, seriously, disappointed by this decision, and especially the implementation.

[Sinapus]

Yep. Disabled it. It would also be nice if the "authorizing DLC" frequency was lowered. I'd like to be able to play the nifty DLC I paid for in Single Player if the servers go down like they have.

The first two games don't do that...

You can play the single player offline by setting the offline mode in origin. To do that, click in origin in the upper left corner and select "Go Offline", and now you should be able to play the single player.

edit: if that doesn't work, disconnect internet and start origin.

Doest work as the game tries to authorize dlc even if origin is in offline mode.

I did the same - I backup all my savegames to another hard drive - I don't need some friggin cloud...

..unless it's a monkey magic cloud.

Try disconnecting internet and starting the game without it.
It's really annoying that we have to do this just to play a single player game.

[Herron7]

Thanks Charlie, now I am even able to connect with multiplayer... What a privilege! 

[mslav7]

Yeah, the subj is truly irritating. Just a fact of uploading something from one's local hd to ...whatever remote unspecified storage - is violating privacy at least. And that idea is most troubling. And then more: that's a dirty trick - not to tell there IS an option to turn off 'the feature'. BTW the option may be found at (on PC):
Origin - Application Settings - Origin Beta Participation - Enable cloud storage for all supported games.
Beta participation, right. Isn't it a little importunate for beta service?

If you disable your internet connection, Mass Effect 3 won't try to authorize DLC and you can play your DLC even if the servers are down.  Though that in itself is pretty annoying to do.

How about the problem off changing the default without notifying the users? I can't be that ****ing hard to show a small dialog-box asking the user if he wants to activate the cloud storage.

And yes I only made it all the way here because I can't stand such bull****. Why is it that hard to not change default settings without user consent after all these ****storms that regularly make it through the net after some company  royaly **** these things up???

[CrazyGreggy]

Yeah, add another +1 outraged that you'd change the default setting to "we're hoovering up your savegames".

[Caratinoid]

Admiral Ackbar would never pick any of those choices!

[Grumpy Old Wizard]

Hah!!! That was a rather questionable move on EA's part. I had to research so I could play multiplayer because multiplayer was not working with cloud save enabled.

this whole Origin is a piece of stinky crap. i understand its function as an online store and that is fine but Windows already have a feature called "games" where all my games should be placed.
it also provides option for custom actions like checking for addittional content or patches (and i'm sure devs can add more to it via some Windows api).

why each developer needs to re-invent the f*!#ing wheel?

its like when you buy a car you need to take the salesman to your home and take him with you
everytime you drive the car because he may have some great news for you and you need to have him with you.

separate the online store from the damn game !

next time they ask our credit card numbers just to play the game.. this is going the wrong way.
its just impossible to speak about it and not using bad langauge or insults, seriously.

I want to completely disable the whole CLOUD system. These are my save games and they do NOT belong on anyone else's HD.
The ONLY option I have when going to cloud storage is to ENABLE IT. It's unchecked but uses storage already. Everytime I start ME3 it syncs MY saves that means it's already enabled.

I want it disabled.
Anyone know how?

[Teahouse Fox]

I don't mind the concept of cloud storage. In fact I love it: EA wants to back up my ME3 save games so I can be at the same point on my laptop or PC? Yes, please. When you turn it off, you don't lose your local saves. You can uncheck the cloud storage box and go about your business at the most recent saved point, which exists on your hard drive as well. My system backs up to a cloud service, and it's saved my hiney more than once. Lovin' the cloud, here.

However the particular method of cloud implementation used in Origin blows chunks.

The thing that stinks about it, is that not all games in Origin save in methods that are 'cloud compatible' and some of them take up huge amounts of saved game space... And you cannot turn on Cloud Storage on a per-title basis. Whiskey Tango Fox, EA - that is so stupid.

So ME3 - cloud compatible. Fire up DAO and Origin will squeal like a stuck pig because DAO just blew the doors off your 100MB limit. So, no problem, right? Just turn off the cloud for DAO... nope! All or nothin'. Brilliant!

Apparently, the alternative is that you are now limited in the number of save files for newer EA /BioWare titles, I assume so that the future cloud saving games dont blow out the storage. After a certain point you are forced to overwrite saved games. Which in an RPG (or pseudo RPG in this case) is anathema.

If this is true, then I would rather give up this busted cloud service and be able to keep as many saves as I want. This is a PC... not a console: Let me manage my own local storage, and let EA stick to worrying about it's cloud.

What a horrible implementation of cloud storage. <_<

Seneva,
In your games library in Origin click ME3 (or any title really) ONCE. Then click the grey Information ( i ) button. On this page at the top, click the Cloud Storage tab. Clear the checkbox that enables cloud storage for all games. If the checkbox is empty, then it's not on at all.

Your most recent saved games are already on your PC and you don't need to do anything else. Go ahead and click Play and it should launch without any sync.
