This game is so starting to tick me off. My game froze on chapter 14 after crafting wepons and took me back to the drill on chapter 10. So I tryed playing it agin and it froze on chapter 12 when saving and quiting. Then it took me back to the drill on chapter 10 agin. So I tried playing it one more time and it froze on chapter 12 but this time I started on chapter 11. I'm starting to get anoued with haveing to beat all these levels agin. Is anyone else having this isue.

Hi tblain92! Could you please provide us some information about your system specification (Pc, Xbox or PS3) and what kind of workarounds you may tried already? Providing details will help our community to find possible solutions for your issue! Cheers Basti

The game is on ps3 and I've tryed to start a new game that worked for a little bit until I got to the first wepon beanch to craft and game froze and i was back at a save before i made the wepon. so i then re instaled the game data ultry that did not work all it did was when I make items at the beanch now next save will send me back two three saves a lot of the time. I tried restoring systom files did not realy make a change to the game or ps3. I also got a new disc 3 times so i know its not the disk. I played four other games for three four hours and dead space three was the only one to freeze in like five ten min. Of game play. So I know it's also not the ps3. I did not seem to have a problom till I started doing the side quest. That's why I tryed backing up my saves and starting fresh but that only worked for a wile until I stared geting wepon parts and cerect s. but to this day I still don't know what the real problom is.

Game is still freezing after the weapon bench at next save after I make weapons or items but in my opinion since it did not start until I started the side quest it most of been one of the items I got on the side quest. Seeing as I can't play this game any more without it freezing I'm not 100 percent shure.

Ea are you guys working on this issue is there going to be a patch soon

It sounds like your saves are being corrupted. When you started a new game, did you delete your previous save completely or did you just return to the prologue through chapter select? Even if they patch this issue, it is unlikely to repair your current saves.Also, it is unlikely, but have you noticed any hangs or delays in other games? Not crashes, just delays. It could be an indicator that the internal hard drive has become damaged. Again, its very unlikely but a possibility.

Will I ever be able to play this game

No I backed the files up and then I started a new game slot over my old file. Now that you mentshon I have hade some lags on dead space 1 and most wanted. Out of all 22 of my games though only 7 or 8 of them have had issues some full on freeze some just have a quick freeze that come back from it. But a lot of them are random freezes that don't always happin.

Also the ps3 dose not get that hot if that maters

Since I initially responded to your post, I've come to the conclusion that something is corrupting the save files and that it is not limited to the PS3 version. There has been very little commonality between the instances however. Some are losing scavenger drones. Some can start new games (different game modes) based off of a previous save but are unable to chapter select or play the save itself.. Others are losing their ability to autosave and unable to progress in any chapters.
I haven't heard if there are any plans for a patch yet, but I do know that it is usually unlikely that they will patch it to repair your saves.
I'm sorry that I haven't been much help, but this one appears to be out of our hands at the moment. You could check Google or this forum for other possible solutions but I haven't been able to find any. If you find one, let us know!

Hay thanks for your help so when a patch comes out I'm most Liikly going to have to start my game over. Also I've been to google a lot the only patch for the game is 1.02 and it realy is a useless patch.

In the meantime, I'd back up of your save games just in case then delete both the saved game and the autosave (not 100% sure how the PS3 version saves). From what I've seen, the game settings and the save slots themselves are related.
The most likely way to install the game that will result in stable games will be to delete the game data, delete the saves, pre-load the game and patch immediately. This will create all new settings files and saves that are in the format of the last patch.
Some people have had saves show corrupt from one version to the next. Also, those that downloaded modified save files from the internet or from other accounts are having problems as well. I don't believe EA intended for people to be sharing saves / backing up older version saves as they have been.

Ok so what your saying is back up my dead space save game and then delete dead space save and dead space from game data ultry and then reinstale the game data first with patch then load backed up saves. Also I thought if your game file was crupted the game would not work at game start up.

Also backed up all my games a month ago onto a external hard drive
