The reality is that there are huge memory management issues on PC that effectively cause the game to be rendered unplayable after 10-15 minutes. Doesn't matter what your hardware is, these are issues with the PC build of the game that need to be corrected.
I'm still here, watching and shaking my head every day that goes by with absolutely nothing being done. I've seen smaller games from smaller studios get updates for far longer than this got, unless they're working on something far behind the scenes (they're not) -- a real shame, as their lack of official acknowledgment outside of a community manager (community managers are not developers) means we're likely going to see the exact same issue with any future titles from this company.
At this point, I can only assume that we will have to "brute force" us out of this problem and mitigate it with future PC hardware through faster I/O Bus with upcoming PCIE revisions and higher CPU clock rates.
The game still stutters badly if you run it from a ramdisk, I don't see it being possible to brute force this issue.
I know it'll never be fixed but I can't help but check SteamDB every so often in the hope that EA or Motive decide to do the right thing.
Why is this still not fixed EA come on with the patch!
Traversal and streaming related stutters
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
And the list goes on and on..
had a feeling this issue was never going to be addressed so decided to play on and try to ignore the stutters, been chasing the last achievement for completing Impossible Mode and when i get that i will be done with the game.
other than the stutter it's been a great game.
Physically can't do this - it's too immersion breaking, I find the game totally unenjoyable in this state.
Folks are dunking on The Last of Us remake like it's the worst thing to happen to PC gaming. It's not. This is.
found out the stutter is just as bad on the PS 5 console

PC footage in the same area (my recording)

main difference is the PS 5 doesn't have shader compilation stutter which probably makes it a smoother experience
Bump.
I know you'll never fix this, EA, but I'm buggered if I'm letting this thread drop off the first page.
They really do hope we'll just forget.
I wouldn't keep my hopes up, because the community manages aren't even responding anymore. Not on Steam or Reddit. Just look at the launch of The Jedi game of EA. this says it all. It's a bad year for gamers overall.
Its May 6th, and stutters still persist in this game. How long has it been since launch?
Fine, EA, you win. I'll shut up.
You've lost a good customer (and past advocate for your products) for life.
After 3 mounths it still stutters like crazy, I rly wanted to play this but I cant and they dont care so I refunded. GJ EA!
Hello my fellow issue-havers! I have descended from space to give you a fix to all the stuttering.
I'm not sure how more people don't know this yet, but there IS a fix 🙂
Go to https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases and download the most recent version of DXVK
The file is compressed as a .tar.gz file, but WinRar is free and fully capable of unzipping this. Alternatively, I can just zip it and post it here if people are desperate lol.
Extract the file after downloading
Inside the folder are several files, but the one you're looking for is dxgi.dll
In a different window of file explorer, navigate to wherever your Dead Space is installed
Inside of the folder named Dead Space (2023) is a folder named x64
Open that folder, and then copy the dxgi.dll file into that folder. That's it, all done 🙂
It's a godsend and will wipe away all those stuttering issues! Woohoo!
Do be aware that it'll stutter very badly for a bit after launching it, but that's because it's compiling and caching stuff. Give it five minutes and it'll be silky smooth c:
If it's still stuttering exactly the same way even after all this, go to your Documents folder, where there's a folder named Dead Space (2023)
(yes i know the name is exactly the same as the install location's name, but it's in the documents folder)
Then, after opening it, delete the folder named cache
then launch your game and let it buffer!
No, that doesn't fix the traversal stutter. How could it? This is clearly for shader compilation stutter. I'll always give these kinds of fixes the benefit of the doubt and try them, which I just did. Absolutely nothing. Yes, I also deleted the cache folder. Traversal stutters are completely identical before and after. The game is just loading a crapload of data all in a single frame instead of, I guess maybe breaking that up over several frames but hitting the CPU less hard or something.
Digital Foundary went back to the game last week and basically said it's not been fixed and still has serious T.S and it's something to do with the CPU side of things, yet EA motive have released nothing since feb it's a joke
Yeah, basically it was the worst game in the video because they just completely abandoned it. Despicable.
