Re: [PC] Dead Space - Save Slot 1 Appears To Be Damaged

@EA_Shepard They were stored at the cloud as my brother saves are, mine are gone, his ones are still intact.

    Hi @th3f0d4, If they have theirs there but yours are not, they were deleted or overwritten. If they are synced to the cloud and don't show up, they are unfortunately gone. A reinstall would sync it back up, but on the chance it does not, I'm afraid you would have to start over.

    I just found one old backup HD and it had my saves, its a 2016 save, now i'm getting this msg: Slot 1 appears to be damaged and cannot be used. Is there any fix?

    @th3f0d4 This error is a bit harder because it is a save file and those typically cannot be repaired as there isn't a lot of ways to repair it unless you can load a previous timestamp and start from there.

    As there are no official workarounds we can link, I did a search online and DS isn't the only game that has that error but there are a lot of links on Google that have different workarounds for different games including DS. 

    I would suggest doing a search for "Save Slot 1 appears to be damaged and cannot be used" and start going through each link. Its going to be a trial-and-error issue on this one.

    Cheers!
