Re: [Steam] Dead Space 3 "Save slot can be damaged or corrupted "

You downloaded Dead Space 3 on Steam and attempted to load a save file (likely from a previous, non-Steam installation) located in Steam Docs/EA / Dead Space 3. The game recognizes the save file as damaged or corrupted, preventing it from loading. ny state of health
Save files from different sources (e.g., non-Steam vs. Steam) might not be compatible due to internal changes or structures. Solution: Starting a new game on Steam is the most reliable option. You won't be able to directly recover your old progress. However, consider this a chance to experience the game afresh with the benefits of Steam features like achievements, cloud saves, and potential community mods.
