Bug: Dead Space PS5 recurring auto save/load issues
Platform: PS5
Summary: on 2 different occasions the autosaves were corrupted in different ways. Autosaved checkpoints when staying in game (I.e. reload because Isaac lost his head) seem to work, the issue is when game has been closed fully in between.
Repro steps (somewhat):
1: Start the game and choose to continue game (note that ps5 has been off in between) and the last save is not a manual one, but an autosave.
2: Game loads but with issues:
a) First time (forgot the location here): the game seemingly loaded normally, but all objectives and progression were lost. Security clearance level was gone, and objective list was empty. Reload from normal manual save fixed it.
b) Second time:
(location was sometime before the ADS mission, facing the room with the electric floor panels). Game loaded but camera was locked. Player could interact with door but not do anything else, could not move.
3: Reloading from a manual save fixes problem, although of course some progression is lost, since they are farther apart.
Bonus bug:
Starting the game again after PS5 had been in rest mode for an extended time (plus used other apps in between) caused the game to get stuck on a black screen when starting the game. Restarting ps5 fixed it. Has only happened once.
Am loving the game this far! 🙂
