All of my saves are gone in dead space
I'm not entirely sure what happened. I log into the game to continue, and I am all of a sudden starting in the opening cutscene. It happened today, at around 9:00 or 9:30 am. This happened before, bu...

EA Staff (Retired)Hi @BarneyBoomer2000, Do you still have the files on your PC or have they been moved to your trash bin by chance?
Hi. I have the same problem so don't want to clutter by making a new thread. I still got my old saves in the save folder but the game don't recognize them. But they are indeed there and visible in windows.
- EA_IlliumHi @tasteslikegold27, To check do you have any mods?
If not, can we try creating a temp folder on your desktop, you can name it something like "Saves temp folder" and move all your save files over.
After, start the game, get to a point to make a manual save, then restart the game to check if it can continue to see that save?I can't find any .Sav files and I do not have any mods installed.

Apologies for the delay
@BarneyBoomer2000 If there are not save files in that folder that would be why they disappeared.
Again to confirm there was nothing in the recycle bin for your PC? If not do you have any security that might keep logs of its activity to see if they were removed?
Aside from that, the only other thing I could think of that could cause them to delete is if you have something like one drive backing up files and possibly removed local ones.
If not, if you're using Steam or Epic, you could try pulling any cloud saves manually and seeing if they are restored. If not can you try deleting the Dead Space folder > run a repair > try to make a new save and check if it will stay?
To confirm as well, do you have any security to might be messing with game files?
If not, first keep your saved files on the desktop.
Then try to delete the entire Dead Space folder in documents, and run a repair of the game. Once done run it as admin and check if the files stay at 0KB kor if you can move your .sav files into the new Dead Space folder and if they are picked up.
Cheers All,
Hi, and thanks for answering.
I tried that, started new game and can save and can see and load the new save in game afterwards too, only the old saves don't show up. I also copied the whole save folder right after the first time the game restarted itself from the beginning.
There's screenshot of the copied folder, if it's any help. I noticed that the Saveslots file is 0Kb, and it's empty when I open it in mempad, and some of the savegames too are 0Kb.
EDIT: Oh and yeah, no mods, vanilla game from the get go.
