Thanks for your info Oafaloaf, it's handy to know that all that messing about isn't going to fix it.
Having contacted the elves at Origin's chat service, I've tried waiting for an update that never arrived or didn't work if it did. Repairing the game. Disabling Origin in game, and finally, a clean reboot. All to no effect. I've also tried System restore, still no solution.
There is definitely something strange about their saving system. I have found that using the chapter select helps, though it will start you at the beginning of said chapter, so it can mean a lot of repetition! Also, it may be that part of my problem is having purchased 'Awakened', coz in my chapter select section, it seems chapter 19 is the final chapter of the main game, and it felt like it too as I got to the part with the boss monster with yellow eyes that you have to fire markers at, whilst restricted to a small disk that's constantly invaded by Nec's! That's where I kept dying, and after 5 or 6 restarts, I just got bored and frustrated so would quit, expecting to restart at the lead up to that fight, but instead it would restart me at the openong of Awakened. Now, I notice that in the chapter select section, Awakened is listed as chapter A1, immediately following chapter 19 of DS3. So, it occurs to me that maybe the game figures I've done enough in chapter 19 to count as finished!?! The reason I think this, is because in the Awakened folow on, it's given me all my resources, weapons and rig and the last suit I chose from DS3 main game! It seems to be the equivalent of New Game +, but when I've selected New Game + it tells me that I must complete one playthrough to access that?!?
All very weird and confusing, but I've decided to just play Awakened and leave the actual end of DS3 for now, as I've got all the gear I need to stand a chance in Awakened.
Don't know if you've got Awakened, or if any of this is useful to you, but it may prove useful to someone out there struggling with this overly complicated game!

My theory is turning off cloud storage backup from within origin is the culprit
Thanx oafaloaf, and all the previous correspondents.
As I often find with computers, we tend to think of how complex they are and look for complex solutions, when often it's something quite simple.
This is a classic example of my main bugbear with game companies, and EA in particular! All it needed was someone who properly understood the game to tell me that 1; Dead Space Awakened is the next chapter after 19, and that 2; despite not having completely finished chapter 19, the game decided that I'd done enough of it and so was starting me back in at the beginning of the next chapter, hence Awakened. In the great majority of games I've played, I would have been put back in just before the point I'd reached in that chapter, and indeed, one of the annoying things about the new format of DS3, is that because they removed the save stations, the game often put me back in a long way previous to where I'd exited, making for lots of repetious work! This aspect led to me thinking something had gone awry with the save game procedure in the first place. So, if anyone else has these confusions, let's hope they find this posting, and it saves them worry and grief. Thanx again.
