Brightness settings. In exclusive fullscreen mode, game is so much brighter that even lowest value looks relatively bright.
WSGF multi-monitor screenshot.[6]
Graphics feature | State | WSGF | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Widescreen resolution | Game's brightness is much higher in exclusive fullscreen mode. | ||
Multi-monitor | |||
Ultra-widescreen | Only if the display supports a refresh rate of 60 Hz or more.[Note 2] | ||
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) | See Field of view (FOV). | ||
Windowed | |||
Borderless fullscreen windowed | See the glossary page for potential workarounds. | ||
Anisotropic filtering (AF) | See the glossary page for potential workarounds. | ||
Anti-aliasing (AA) | Ingame antialiasing is a simple blur shader. On/off toggle. | ||
High-fidelity upscaling | See the glossary page for potential workarounds. | ||
Vertical sync (Vsync) | Double buffered in fullscreen mode, works as a 30 FPS cap otherwise. See the glossary page for proper Vsync. | ||
60 FPS | |||
120+ FPS | An uncapped frame rate can result in several issues mentioned below. | ||
High dynamic range display (HDR) | See the glossary page for potential alternatives. | ||
Ray tracing (RT) |

Notes
|
Input
- Game uses controller HUD if controller is present. Simply unplug/disable controller when playing with keyboard and mouse.
Keyboard and mouse | State | Notes |
---|---|---|
Remapping | Two keys per action. In-game remapping is really limited; see Remapping. |
|
Mouse acceleration | Use Dead Space Mouse Fix for raw mouse input. | |
Mouse sensitivity | ||
Mouse input in menus | ||
Mouse Y-axis inversion | ||
Controller | ||
Controller support | ||
Full controller support | Some menus need the mouse to accept changes or to default options. | |
Controller remapping | Renders most DirectInput controllers unusable. | |
Controller sensitivity | The command has to be manually added through settings.txt for the game (command unknown). Controller sensitivity is higher than what it should be at FPS higher then 30 but still playable (Xpadder could be used to lower it whilst at over 30 FPS). |
|
Controller Y-axis inversion |
Controller types |
---|
XInput-compatible controllers | ||
---|---|---|
Xbox button prompts | ||
Impulse Trigger vibration |
PlayStation controllers |
---|
Generic/other controllers | Game tries its best to autoassign buttons in correct places, but often fails, leading controller to be unusable. XInput wrapping highly recommended. |
|
---|---|---|
Button prompts | Keyboard buttons shown if DirectInput controller used. |
Additional information | ||
---|---|---|
Button prompts | Controller given priority for displaying on-screen buttons. | |
Controller hotplugging | ||
Haptic feedback | XInput only. | |
Digital movement supported | ||
Simultaneous controller+KB/M |

Notes

Large deadzone
- The game inserts large 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[8] |

Issues fixed
High frame rate issues
- An uncapped frame rate can result in several issues, including:
- Problems with QTEs, physics (specifically ragdoll), and animations.
- Can introduce desyncing issues with extremely high framerates (300+ FPS).[10]
- Some of the UI speed is tied to FPS. If frame rate is too high, the game will slow down.
- The first door after getting the Plasma Cutter may be impassable and the first Necromorph fails to spawn (in Chapter 1: New Arrivals)
- Containers and crates may not be interactable.
- Hair physics may "explode" and stretch unnaturally. This can be observed in the very first scene.
- Doctor Challus Mercer doesn't appear (in Chapter 5: Lethal Devotion)
- Crashes the game during elevator use (in Chapter 7: Into the Void)
- There's a risk of player getting soft-locked in landing state during zero gravity sections, game resolves this lock-up by forcibly killing the player after 5–10 seconds.
- Excessive tearing due to very frequent flickering lights

Notes
|
Fullscreen brightness levels are raised
- The game might look brighter than it should when running in exclusive fullscreen mode on certain systems and the in-game brightness slider can't be set low enough to fix it.
Change brightness through config files[citation needed] |

Fixing the mouse
Use Dead Space Mouse Fix[11] |

Notes
|
Difficulty changes itself when multiple save files are present
- Difficulty only changes itself when save at end of a chapter (save in the train).
Always select "load game" instead of "continue game" on main menu[12] |

Use CheatEngine to change the game difficulty[13] |
