At the top of this page, click on dead space 3. look at the list of threads. check out the one that is now 31 pages long with 240 or so complaints and "suggested" fixes. none work for more than a short while. Best luck i have had was to delete all the game dats, do NOT connect to internet or let the game update. STAY offline while you play. I think you will see that progress saving points are timed slightly different. seems that if you are online there is a definite lag time even in single player mode. You can really see the difference at the loading screen that usually seems to freeze your system for about 20 seconds at the warning screen telling you not to shut off during an autosave. Offline as soon as you push the x it goes right to the game screen. almost seems like the game is constantly sending usage stats back to ea possibly??
