I have the same exact issue and EA won't let you submit a trouble ticket. The last time I buy a game from these guys. Here is a video of the problem I posted earlier.
I have the same issues but my problem is that the save point doesn't show any graphics and then it crashes. If I try to a load a game from the in-game menu, the game crashes. I have modified my antivirus settings, set the game to admin, verified the integrity of the game, and re-installed. I even renamed my save file folder and deleted the original Dead Space (2023) folder in steamapps. I uploaded a video showing how the game crashes.
Here is a video. My problem is different because it seems the save function bugs out: https://www.loom.com/share/41e00109204f42209bfeb8e678637b5f

Exactly my problem. Thanks for adding details.

Ahhh, I was wondering about that. My saves are also stored on Steam. I'll see if I can move them.
Thank You!
David
Yep, that worked. Thanks again!

I have the exact same issue after playing through the game several times. It started crashing at the save station and now will not save at all. Also found the save folder in Steam but I dont know how to clear or move the saves. Also cannot find any save folder links in the Dead Space app itself. Could you post how to move these files as I am not familar with the process. Thanks.
Ps I tried to reach out to EA about the issue but all I got was Dead Space!

I'll do my best. Remember, you do this at your own risk 🙂
I went to my Steam account and disabled the online backing up. This prevents Steam from restoring the save files you move or delete. I honestly don't remember how I got there, but I just kept clicking through on the settings or tools for the game on the steam application.
Next, I went to the directory where the save files are located. On my laptop, this is C:\Users\{My User Name)\Documents\Dead Space (2023)\settings\steam
The save files are named like SG01-263.sav, or SG05-420.sav
I selected all the save files for the games I didn't want to go back to, which were from SG01-01.sav to SG04-436.sav (this last file was the last saved game I had before the error), and I moved them into a sub directory. I was then able to begin a "New Game +" and have been happily saving away.
Hope this helped.
David
