| + | ==Issues unresolved== | ||
| + | ===Traversal and streaming related stutters=== | ||
| + | {{mm}} The game suffers from frequent stutters when the player crosses invisible boundaries in the game, like opening a door or when walking around. This is likely caused by the game inefficiently loading in the next area, causing a large frame time spike, which is perceived as a stutter. While traversal stutter may also happen on console, it is believed to be exacerbated on PC. The more powerful the PC is, the less frequent and intense these stutters become.<ref name="DFPC"/> Using [https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/DXVK DXVK] could further improve performance. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Shader compilation stutters in some rare cases=== | ||
| + | {{mm}} Shader compilation stutters can possibly trigger during gameplay after changing graphical settings. Additionally, there are strong suspicions that the game's shader pre-compilation is not fully exhaustive in pre-compiling all shaders used by the game. This can lead to some rare shader compilation related stutters.<ref name="DFPC"/> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Inconsistent performance between runs=== | ||
| + | {{mm}} The same in-game scene can sometimes run with different performance between runs for unknown reasons. This happens even after changing no in-game settings and a full PC system reboot.<ref name="DFPC"/> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===FSR leads to blurry animated UI=== | ||
| + | {{mm}} FSR doesn't properly take animations of UI-elements into account when upscaling the image, resulting in blurry and ghosting UI animations.<ref name="DFPC"/> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==Issues fixed== | ||
| + | ===Lower performance and random performance drops after changing graphical settings=== | ||
| + | {{mm}} Performance can go lower than expected after changing graphical settings in the in-game menu.<ref name="DFPC"/> | ||
| + | {{Fixbox|description=Workaround: restart the game|ref=<ref name="DFPC"/>|fix= | ||
| + | }} | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Shader pre-compilation does not trigger when reinstalling same GPU driver version=== | ||
| + | {{mm}} After reinstallation of same GPU driver version, the game's shader cache will be deleted as intended, but the game does not trigger shader pre-compilation at boot after this. Leading to huge shader compilation related stutters during gameplay.<ref name="DFPC"/> | ||
| + | {{Fixbox|description=Install a newer GPU driver version to re-trigger shader pre-compilation|ref=<ref name="DFPC"/>|fix= | ||
| + | }} | ||
| + | {{Fixbox|description=Manually clear shader cache located in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Dead Space (2023)\cache|fix= | ||
| + | }} | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Lower resolution texture used when using FSR or DLSS=== | ||
| + | {{mm}} When using either upscaling technique the game provides, the game uses lower resolution textures compared to using ''Native + [[TAA]]'' anti-aliasing option. This is not because of the upscaling, but likely due to the wrong texture mipmap being used by the game while upscaling is enabled, which should normally be based on the output resolution of the upscaling option. There is no fix available for AMD and Intel GPU users.<ref name="DFPC"/> | ||
| + | {{Fixbox|description=Nvidia only: use Nvidia Profile Inspector to adjust LOD bias|ref=<ref name="DFPC"/>|fix= | ||
| + | # Download and install [[Nvidia Profile Inspector]]. | ||
| + | # Open it and select the <code>Dead Space [Remake]</code> profile. | ||
| + | # Adjust the <code>Antialiasing - Transparency Supersampling</code> setting to <code>0x00000008 AA_MODE_REPLAY_MODE_ALL</code>. | ||
| + | # Adjust the <code>Texture Filtering - LOD Bias (DX)</code> setting according to upscaling mode selected. Recommended LOD bias values are: | ||
| + | ## '''Performance''' mode: <code>-1.5</code>. | ||
| + | ## '''Balanced''' mode: <code>-1.0</code>. | ||
| + | ## '''Quality''' mode: <code>-0.5</code>. | ||
| + | '''Notes''' | ||
| + | {{--}} Applies these LOD bias settings to all textures. This does not work nicely with the main menu's distortion effect, causing the main menu to flicker more than it usually does and it showing more moiré-patterns than it usually does (upscaling artifact).<ref name="DFPC"/> | ||

Issues unresolved
- The game suffers from frequent stutters when the player crosses invisible boundaries in the game, like opening a door or when walking around. This is likely caused by the game inefficiently loading in the next area, causing a large frame time spike, which is perceived as a stutter. While traversal stutter may also happen on console, it is believed to be exacerbated on PC. The more powerful the PC is, the less frequent and intense these stutters become.[9] Using DXVK could further improve performance.
Shader compilation stutters in some rare cases
- Shader compilation stutters can possibly trigger during gameplay after changing graphical settings. Additionally, there are strong suspicions that the game's shader pre-compilation is not fully exhaustive in pre-compiling all shaders used by the game. This can lead to some rare shader compilation related stutters.[9]
Inconsistent performance between runs
- The same in-game scene can sometimes run with different performance between runs for unknown reasons. This happens even after changing no in-game settings and a full PC system reboot.[9]
FSR leads to blurry animated UI
- FSR doesn't properly take animations of UI-elements into account when upscaling the image, resulting in blurry and ghosting UI animations.[9]
Issues fixed
Lower performance and random performance drops after changing graphical settings
- Performance can go lower than expected after changing graphical settings in the in-game menu.[9]
| Workaround: restart the game[9] |
|---|
Shader pre-compilation does not trigger when reinstalling same GPU driver version
- After reinstallation of same GPU driver version, the game's shader cache will be deleted as intended, but the game does not trigger shader pre-compilation at boot after this. Leading to huge shader compilation related stutters during gameplay.[9]
| Install a newer GPU driver version to re-trigger shader pre-compilation[9] |
|---|
| Manually clear shader cache located in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Dead Space (2023)\cache |
|---|
Lower resolution texture used when using FSR or DLSS
- When using either upscaling technique the game provides, the game uses lower resolution textures compared to using Native + TAA anti-aliasing option. This is not because of the upscaling, but likely due to the wrong texture mipmap being used by the game while upscaling is enabled, which should normally be based on the output resolution of the upscaling option. There is no fix available for AMD and Intel GPU users.[9]
| Nvidia only: use Nvidia Profile Inspector to adjust LOD bias[9] |

Notes
|
"DXGI_ERROR_NOT_CURRENTLY_AVAILABLE" error at launch
| Rollback the GPU driver to version 527.37 (Nvidia) or 22.5.1 (AMD)[16] |
|---|
|
| Enable Debug Mode in the Nvidia Control Panel[17] |
|---|
Video logs do not replay and database interface does not show
| Load a savegame[18] |
|---|
| Pick up a text or audio log in-game[18] |

Incorrect tooltip in Chapter 6
- When trying to accomplish the objective "Inject Weezer 6" in Chapter 6 of the game, the game asks the player to press the action key (E by default) to insert Deck System Card into a Circuit Breaker. That tooltip however is incorrect giving player the impression that the game softlocked. The tooltip is just incorrect.
| Use UI Accept key (default ↵ Enter) instead, like with all other Circuit Breaker interactions[19] |
