Mouse acceleration

As with previous games in the Dead Space series, the game uses negative mouse acceleration. Faster mouse movements results in slower cursor movements. This makes aiming much harder and breaks immersion.

Negative mouse acceleration can be mitigated or almost completely removed by setting controller sensitivity = 10 and mouse sensitivity = 05 in the options (0.05 in the general.txt file).

Network

Issues unresolved

Cannot retrieve information from Origin error when accessing DLC store ingame
