I was apparently killed just before an auto-save and now the game just cycles through loading the death and repeating. Tried deleting local storage, but no luck. Tried removing Quick-Resume for the game, but no luck.
Totally stuck :0(
Ok, this is weird. I posted a new topic because my issue, while the same as the OP in this topic, just on Xbox Series X, yet my post got moved under this topic. I guess that's fine, just note that the problem is on Xbox, not PS5.
Yeah this was supposed to be my topic regarding the PS5 but it looks like a mod may have changed it.
In your case I would delete my cloud and storage auto save files it should be possible on the Xbox but NOT the PS5.
The latest auto save should be the culprit.

Hi @Gear2ndGandalf @Homish1 To confirm are you unable to hit the pause menu after a death load to select to load a previous save? if not would it be possible to get a clip of this happening we can share with the team?
Hey boss, yes I was unable to hit pause as a bad auto save locked me in a death loop.
I’ll post a link to a short video that helped me get out of this. Dead Space Death Loop Fix
I was able to get myself out of the death loop by following that video but I didn’t bother recording myself doing this. I was on the PS5.
It seems like you get less than a split second to press pause at the right time to get a menu going.
You will likely encounter the bug if you get killed while running past opening and closing doors or anything that will trigger an auto save while in combat.
Some other players said they encountered the bug while saving manually with an enemy nearby too!
