Dead Space 3 Save Problem

Fixes?

1. conning tower mission. wait until you get to aft section or a second " progress saving" point to quit and save. then you should not have to repeat conning tower mission.

2. after experiencing so may freezes and corrupted save files I started to save and quit at almost every "progress saving point. I would copy that "good save " to a flash drive so the next inevitable crash would not destroy all my progress. I could delete the bad save and reload my save from a flash drive. Had to restart a few save points back but that was better than restarting the whole game. After a few successful restarts using this method i found that the game would again freeze at EXACTLY the same point again after restart. ARRRRRGGGH.!!!!!

3. LATEST "FIX". I wondered if theses freezes were actually corrupting not only my save files but the GAME DATA files also. Assuming (right/wrong?) that my flash drive save was a"good" save- when the game freezes I now delete the GAME DATA file , delete the existing save files on my ps3 / reinstall the game (update 1.02) and redownload my add ons. reinstall my save files from the flash drive. I have actually made to level 12 now (again) and successfully made it out of the optional armory mission. Keeping my fingers crossed for luck.

4. as aside note- If you are going to load a save file from a flash drive you are better off if you delete the save from your ps3 first. then load the save. do not choose the overwrite option as this will not necessarily remove any bad data from the corrupted save. Just a thought.

Final Thought. Isn't it ridiculous to have to go through this just to be able to play a game? Why was the SAVE AND QUIT  changed to save INVENTORY and quit and who knows where the game would resume?
