Help! Lost Save File (Dead space 3)

So I was playing some dead space 3 talking to my friends on skype, when I got tired of playing (I was playing for a long time, maybe about 5 hours straight) and i was on chapter 8 or 9 (when Isaac crashes onto the ice planet). So i quit the game, and for some reason, the next time i tried to play it, my save was gone. I could not access it for some reason, and I really want to play it now! I am requesting a save of some kind, from the chapter I was just on. Please help! My email (if you have to email the save file) is

  • delete your save (or backup it) and start the game (use local stored saves when your asked)

    this will delete the save in cloud storage.

    now close game and deactivate cloud storage then use a savegame from me

    now you can leave cloud deactivated or activate it as you need.

    when this doesn`t work you have to start a new game.

    as a little advice make a backup of your save and rename it everytime you see the autosave notification.

    sometimes the cloud save is corrupted (don`t know why because local backups worked normally).

    when you play a side mission you have to complete it without leaving the game because this can mess up your savegame too.

    ps.: i dont know if my savegames work on other installations or on other game setups

    (i have the preordered origin version with tau volantis package)

  • I had to start over about 3 times because of corrupted savegames so i started to copy my saves to a backup file.

    I pm you a link to my savegames you only have to find the one you need and rename them like this

    "ds3_v1_slot_01.sav_2" --> "ds3_v1_slot_01.sav"

    and deactivate your cloud stroage until you need it

    i dont know if they work with your game because i have the origin preorder version with tao volantis survival dlc

    Just for future reference, origin doesnt cleanly delete the save game file. So if you check your recycle bin chances are the save game file will be located within a file called "EA" in the recycle bin, just restore the file and see if your save games back up

  • Do you still have your savegames? i have dead space 3 on Origin and cannot get past chapter 5, waiting for the train/tram.
