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] |
|---|
Notes
|
Difficulty changes itself when multiple save files are present
| Always select "load game" instead of "continue game" on main menu[12] |
|---|
|
Doctor Challus Mercer doesn't appear in Chapter 5: Lethal Devotion
| Momentarily enable Vsync[13] |
