Turn off Steam cloud saves and just copy

C:\Users\...\Documents\Dead Space (2023)\settings

To a backup location.

Well, considering lots of users are experiencing random crashes and losing hours of progress that way, i think we can cut the guy some slack.

Depends just got completely screwed over in this mode near the decontamination room where it decided to put 2 spitters and a tough necromorph in that small corridor one behind me and two in front.

That's not happening at all.

The amount of threads opened in a month proves otherwise.

No, actually just in case I die. I just dont feel like wasting my time, already finish it in Hard and I die many times, there is some instances that it may happen by surprise and I dont want to restarting over and over because cheap deaths.

Bye the way, I had not issues playing this game so far, but new games recently, Calisto Protocol, Forspoken, HL and this one seem to consume a lot of Vram. At least 85% of it all the time, and I have an RTX 3080M, so not sure how is everyone else playing this game with less than an RTX 3070.

Since you're trying to cheat anyway: if you die, Alt+Tab out and close the game. It doesn't process your loss if you don't make the "restart or switch to Hard" choice.

I would just like the game to throw me into the game after the prologue intro. Its needless to see it gazzilion times. The save might just be a plaster but it takes time as well. single button prompt would be welcome. God of war let you skip most of the cutscenes after you beat the game once. Hope They knew lots of us gonna keep dying doing this achievement and they even lets us know how much game time we lose since last save if we try to exit. Might aswell give us timer how much time we losing till the intro ends.

The game has no fail safe for it. I just beat on Impossible last night and I died maybe 5 or 6 times... All you gotta do when you die is to quit to main menu and reload your save. You don't even need to backup your save.

Even if it crashes.. that would not prompt anyone to lose hours of progress. The game has a save station basically every 10 mins. They are everywhere. You can still save as many time as you want on Impossible mode.

Yeah, you are right. The issue of the game is there is just too many cheap deaths around, for example, I was in a small narrow corridor fighting two enemies once i finish killing them, I did not reallize there was a third one behind, because is impossible to see behind them, I nearly died and survive the third monster attack with a pinch of health.

I am in Chapter 6 now, and besides that moment of nearly dying, all other counters have been fine , just have to make sure your keep your health full at all times.

lol I got a bug in chapter 8 were the lock down wont lift after killing all the enemies in the deck. Sucks because i did not save for awhile xD

You should save a lot. Like every 5 to 10 mins if possible.

Yeah man :( , and to make things worse I have to redo probably the longest and annoying chapter in the game, the mining area; with all the cut scenes that lock you up in rooms, elevator rides and sudden stops.
