Dead Space 3 Save Problem
When I load up a saved game in Dead Space 3, I do not end up in the exact place I save and exit, nor do I start anywhere near my last location. Can you please fix this problem?

PROBLEM FIXED!!!!!!
I was having this exact same problem, in Chapter 5, playing quite a bit, and then getting thrown back to the place where you fight the regenerating monster while waiting for the tram. I did the following to fix the problem:
1) TURN OFF CLOUD SAVES
2) COMPLETE THE ENTIRE mid-section mission where you are looking for the guy's inventory stash (he comes on over the loudspeaker and detonates mines he has set a couple of times).
IMPORTANT NOTE: This mid-section mission has NO save points and you must complete the entire thing, grab the good, go back to the tram, and go to the last section of the ship, via the tram, in order to get to an actual save point. I was having this issue for a couple of days and then I did both of these things and the problem is now fixed.
**I'm not sure if simply completing the entire mid-section and getting to an actual save would have fixed the problem by itself, but I DO know that doing both of these absolutely fixed the issue. If someone would like to keep the cloud saves on and then complete the entire mid-section issue, get to the save point at the last point via the tram, and then save and quit, that would be awesome. I haven't had a problem with the cloud saves and they seem like a good idea to keep, just in case something happens to my PC.
Any comments or thoughts!?
Had the same problem at same place. I remember getting in tram and going to new place and seeing "Progress saving" badge and thought its safe to quit and guess where I started the game when I turned my PC on next time😉 Checked it out and I have 0MB of DS3 Cloud storage so its off also. It happened couple of times later also saw "Progress Saving" (not inventory saveing) and played even further and still next time I loaded game from "load last save" or "continue story" DS3 set me back 1 or 2 savepoints. It just is bugged
Now I try to not exit game very quickly and after "Progress save" to wonder around a bit to give it time to save it... Dunno if it helps.
Its funny how there are at least 3 major long bug topics and still no patch out.
Though I´m happy I got the game later when the price had dropped by 2 fold(I wonder why, right?) and the game has detailed beautiful graphics so that when you play it 3rd or 5th time theres something new to look at least😉
Also the farming glitch(when you join game every time there are new crates) is annoying as it doesn´t give you the thrills as you have twice the health and ammo packs.
Hey guys just to let ya know i left the cloud save active but got past that damnd tower and when i got passed the tower the save finaly kicked in. Thought i would let ya know it works with the cloud save on... you just need to get passed on of the most annoing side quests ive ever played in all 3 dead spaces lol
Wow. I had the same stuck at the "tram" problem as all of 'everyone'. What an awesome display of game design at it's WORST. I really loved the game until this point (fan-bloody-tastic with helix mod's stereoscopic fixes). But I worked out the underlying logic. Side missions have NO SAVES. If you embark on one, you gotta finish it, and get back to a story quest or you are doomed to repeat it. Isn't that fantastic game design? OMG. Who thought that would be 'fun'? There was someone here who posted they skipped the mission - credit due - and that's what clued me in to how it all worked. Side missions = no save. Do'em till they are done. Wow. EA.
