After 66 hours of save and quit after a sucessful "progress saving' point , deleting all game data and reloading after a save file destroying freeze, I finall made it through the blood moon ending . Figured I would try awakened for the first time. Got to the scene where you encounter a soldier repeating over and over 'they are hungry and they are coming" . BTW thats an auto progress saving point. BANG- game frozen . Deleted game data again, reloaded and made it to the ship. Almost made it to the conning tower. Almost. game frozen. I have decided that I am not going to try dead space again until there is a fix. Good luck to all..
