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.
