[Steam] Dead Space 3 "Save slot can be damaged or corrupted "

Hi guys. I downloaded Dead Space 3 from Steam and I started to play it. With such a big hope, I loaded my ex save file (save slot. SAV )  to Steam Docs/EA / Dead Space 3. But nothing. When I get back to game interface, my former %90 played save file doesnt run. It says " Save slot can be damaged or corrupted "  Poooor my fully crafted wepaons and suits ! I uninstalled 4 times and reinstalled;  whatever I tried so much, cant fix this problem. I downloaded my former DS3 game from  another website about 10 yrs ago. Now, question is this specifically about Steam save system ?? Why it doesnt recognize my former save file. I am just gonna mad soon. I have 3060 Ti Rtx Ryzen 5600 X and cant play it now with fully equipment. If you have a recipe pls let me know here. Thanx.

    You downloaded Dead Space 3 on Steam and attempted to load a save file (likely from a previous, non-Steam installation) located in Steam Docs/EA / Dead Space 3. The game recognizes the save file as damaged or corrupted, preventing it from loading. ny state of health
    Save files from different sources (e.g., non-Steam vs. Steam) might not be compatible due to internal changes or structures. Solution: Starting a new game on Steam is the most reliable option. You won't be able to directly recover your old progress. However, consider this a chance to experience the game afresh with the benefits of Steam features like achievements, cloud saves, and potential community mods.
