Je to bug u PC verze. Dela to kdyz na zacatku pouzivas "continue/resume" misto primeho nahrani ze save.
Start hex workshop and open up your savegame, after you made a backup (folder: users\xxxx\Documents\Electronic Arts\Dead Space). Rightclick, select GoTo and enter 00001062. Change the text to the difficulty you would like to have. This will probably only change the label on the save, therefore go to line 00002061 and change the number after diff to: 0 for easy, 1 for normal, 2 for hard. Save
