Widescreen resolution | |||
Multi-monitor | Works with Nvidia Surround in 2D and 3D modes. | ||
Ultra-widescreen | |||
4K Ultra HD | Subtitles scales poorly with resolution larger than 1280 pixels wide, making them too small in very high resolution. Untested Cheat Engine table for subtitle scaling. | ||
Field of view (FOV) | Fixable through config file. See Field of view (FOV). | ||
Windowed | |||
Borderless fullscreen windowed | |||
Anisotropic filtering (AF) | Up to 16 samples. | ||
Anti-aliasing (AA) | Only post-process AA (FXAA, SMAA). | ||
Vertical sync (Vsync) | Only 30 FPS lock. See the glossary page for proper Vsync. | ||
60 FPS and 120+ FPS | Very high frame rate (+30 FPS) potentially causes problems with QTEs, physics (specifically ragdoll) and animations. Running above 60 FPS may cause an infinite loading screen glitch upon death during co-op play. |
||
High dynamic range display (HDR) | See the glossary page for potential alternatives. |
Field of view (FOV)
- There is deliberately no in-game option to modify the FOV.[citation needed]

Issues unresolved
Cannot retrieve information from Origin error when accessing DLC store ingame
- Several users affected by the issue have started posting tracerouting logs of their connection to the Origin servers to help EA identify the cause of the issue[3]
- EA has responded to this issue with a workaround[4]
- Many users are reporting that the workaround does not fix the issue[5][6]
Possible fixes:
- Uninstall Origin and reinstall the latest version
- Run Origin as administrator
- Add Dead Space 3 and Origin to your firewall's exception list
- Port forward the following ports:
TCP | UDP |

Issues fixed
In-game stuttering, freezing issues
- When using VSync,the game places most of its processing load on the first CPU core only(typically 99%) which may cause stuttering and occasional framerate dips on some systems while traversing through the map
Making affinity changes permanent (setting affinity in task manager only lasts until you exit the game):
- Edit your preferred shortcut for launching the game (desktop and/or start menu)
- In the target field, set the following (just put the default contents in double quotes and prepend cmd.exe /C ...):
- For a 4/4 (core/thread) CPU
cmd.exe /C start "" /affinity e "<path-to-game>\deadspace3.exe"
- For a 4/8 and 8/8 (core/thread) CPU
cmd.exe /C start "" /affinity fe "<path-to-game>\deadspace3.exe"
- For a 6/6 (core/thread) CPU
cmd.exe /C start "" /affinity 3e "<path-to-game>\deadspace3.exe"
- For a 6/12 (core/thread) CPU
cmd.exe /C start "" /affinity 7fe "<path-to-game>\deadspace3.exe"
- For a 8/16 (core/thread) CPU and higher
cmd.exe /C start "" /affinity fffe "<path-to-game>\deadspace3.exe"
Verify correct affinity by launching the game and checking affinity in task manager (see beginning).
To be used in Steam launch options, to launch the game directly from Steam, it must be a little different:
- Ex. for a 8/16 (core/thread) CPU and higher
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C start "" /affinity FFFE "<path-to-game>\deadspace3.exe" %command%
Kinesis Door Audio Bug
