Dead Space 3 Save Problem

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.

hi, did they solve it?? :D 

will be able to save when i'll finish the side quest? (maybe next saturday !! :D ) 

it's very interesting!!! thank you EA

Sorry that didn't work for me. I am back at that horrible tram station after riding the shuttle to the next section. I spent 1 1 /2 hours getting throuh all of those levels, etc....how frustrating

That didn't work either...I changed the name of the saved game to 02 and all that did was to put my saved game in the number 2 slot leaving number one slot blank and 3 thu what ever blank. The game seems to be overwriting one save slot over and over...it shows all the acheivements and inventory and 49% complete. I was on the tram, entered the shuttle bay, saw saving icon, plus saw inventory saved icon. I then went to bed after 1/1/2 hours of playing through this level....This is crap....

Where is EA?

 found a very easy solution which just worked for me. I am running windows 8 pro, 

1. I started the game from the desktop shortcut (may not matter)

2. I continued the story

3. I solo'ed campaign

4. I then SELECTED BY CHAPTER WHICH LIST EVERY CHAPTER COMPLETED ALONG WITH SUB MISSIONS. I MEARLY CLICKED WHERE I LEFT OFF

    AIR DOCK AFTER RIDING TO SHUTTLE BAY IN THE AFT SECTION...PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD 

Like everyone else, I had finished the cunttower sidemission but still had to start from the same place again and again. But then I tried this: before loading my game I looked the chapter select -section. There I could select "conning tower" mission, now I started right the before entering the tower.

Now I just walked to the tram and travelled straight to the aft station. The game saved and now loading works again. The game still shows the conning tower mission on RIG's mission-tab but when I look progress-menu it gives me 100% on chapter five. I also have all the inventory that I gained from the towers stash.

Man whoever was responsible for the saves in this game should be SACKED ASAP. Totally had enough of trying to play this sh,Dead space1= brilliant game, Deadspace 2= brilliant game, Dead space 3 because of the **bleep** up saves = **bleep** GAME

Its not a bad game. Best i can tell you is that after many tries and many discs (ps3) 3 different discs, 4 ps3 consoles-  i have 8 of them, I found that the download ps3 version works with no problems. talked ea into giving me credit for a download from sony . have now played it to platinum on 3 different consoles and 3 different usernames with no save point failures.

i have the same problems on my ps3 the problems are coming from co-op and auto-save it was h*** plating it but im done on ds3 whot play it now i only play whin i have frends invting me but i thak thay ruhs the game and did not test it as it need thay need to test games for a full mouth before reles
