Key points
- A glitch in the game causes the difficulty to change itself when multiple save files are present. See Issues fixed.
- In-game V-sync (enabled by default) caps frame rate at 30 FPS[1] and is bugged. Disable it.
- Exceeding the threshold of 60 FPS cuts down mouse speed. See Dead Space Mouse Fix.
- Very poor mouse input due to aggressive acceleration. See Dead Space Mouse Fix.
