Re: All of my saves are gone in dead space

Ok, so I got my old saves working, but not quite as you advised. I'l try to explain here if someone might have the same problem.  I did what you recommended, deleted the whole Dead Space 2023 folder, and run verify in Steam. Then started game, which loaded into the beginning of the game, the first manual save I made for this troubleshoot. It got them from cloud. I turned of cloud sync.

Then I closed game, went in the savefolder and removed all sav. files and replaced them with the old saves that clearly still had data in them. Booted game and alas, I was in Chapter 10. The in game save name is still Chapter one, but it loaded my old Chapter 10 save. I saved on a new slot and the name of the save went to normal too, only the ingame playtime is not correct, it shows I have played 16 min when in reality I had around 19h playtime before corruption of saves.

So to recap:

If the game has corrupted your saves, and start from beginning, but you STILL have your old saves, and they clearly have data in them, try this.

- Backup your savefolder and all files your'e about to change, I.E copy them on desktop. Turn of cloud sync

- Start new game and make an manual save.

- Exit game, go to save folder and locate your manual save, should be SG01-01.sav.

-Then go to your old saves that you hopefully have copied somewhere, and locate you most recent uncorrupted file and name it SG01-01.sav

-Go to the save folder and replace the new save with the old one. 

-Start game, it should load you to your old game, make a new save to new slot and play on.



I hope that makes any sense to whoever might need it.
