Key points
- In-game Vsync limits frame rate to half the monitor's refresh rate.[1] Disable it and force Vsync externally.
- A glitch in the game causes the difficulty to change itself when multiple save files are present. See Issues fixed.
- Very poor mouse input due to aggressive acceleration and lowered speed when running above 60 FPS. Use Dead Space Mouse Fix.

Issues fixed
Mouse acceleration, lag, and random sensitivity
- Mouse view becomes messier the more the framerate exceeds 60 FPS.
Use raw mouse input fix[5] |
---|
Notes
|
Invisible door
- With a high frame rate, the first door after getting the Plasma Cutter may be impassable.
Limit frame rate to 60 FPS or lower[citation needed] |
---|
|
Large deadzone
- The game inserts massive deadzones onto the analog sticks, making precise control very difficult, especially on gamepads like the Logitech Gamepad F310, which have their own deadzones.
Make deadzones smaller[6] |
---|
|
Game crashes at launch
Fix settings.txt[7] |
---|
|
Try unplugging or disabling controllers[8] |
---|
|
Audio stutter
- This must be done every time you launch the game.
Make Dead Space a high priority task in Task Manager[9] |
---|
|
Windows mouse cursor visible
- If this cursor is visible, it may cause problems on multi-monitor systems.[citation needed]
See Disable Origin in game or Toggle the Steam overlay per game[10] |
---|
Spinning camera
- These will also fix the camera/reticule being pulled to the top left during turret sequences, like the tentacle grab or asteroid defense sequences.
Create an empty joypad profile[11] |
---|
|
Unplug any extra input device except mouse and keyboard[citation needed] |
---|
Disable Logitech G13 Joystick[citation needed] |
---|
