Dead Space Remake glitch with invisible characters after loading a save

Product: The EA app
Platform:PC
Error Report ID (learn how to create an Error Report ID in the sticky post)
Which client functionality are you experiencing this bug with? Other (Please Describe)
Please describe Dead Space Remake loads without showing Isaac or other enemies sometimes
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 27.01.23 4:00
Summarize your bug I just started playing the Dead Space Remake and discovered that it seems to randomly load up with invisible characters. Your weapon will be floating in the air but Isaac is invisible. I've also had it do it with doors being invisible and preventing you from progressing until they suddenly 'appear' like they should. Usually when a save loads up with invisible Isaac you wind up having invisible necromorphs too.
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Just try to load the game multiple times. When it starts glitching with not loading Isaac you know you've hit the big. It also seems like the camera is floating a bit higher than normal when you try to cross doorways while its bugged like this.
What happens when the bug occurs? Isaac is invisible and usually the necromorphs are all invisible as well. You can see Isaac's weapon though and there are no other apparent graphical issues on screen. It just becomes impossible to play when you can't see your character or the enemies.
What do you expect to see? I would expect to see the characters and enemies properly rendered on screen. It runs fluidly smooth and when the characters were displaying it worked perfectly. This bug is my one frustration that makes it unplayable for me at this time. A patch that remedies the issue would be very welcome.

I summarized the issue above. I don't know if its related, but I also had it bug up upon loading the save files at the beginning during the first chase scene. That elevator at the end of the initial run wasn't showing so it wouldn't let me go inside and I got killed. When it loaded you couldn't see Isaac there either. I've found each time that when it bugs it seems to continue to bug up and the only fix I found was to start a completely new game again. Its a touch upsetting to have to do that though especially when I was just getting into the early part of the game. I don't know what to make of this. There are no framerate or slowups in the action. It runs perfectly smooth. My settings are at the max and it just runs perfectly in every other aspect. I tried searching the discussions on steam's forums for the game but I couldn't find anything close to what I'm experiencing here with the invisible character and necromorphs issue after loading a save. I would really appreciate this if someone could make a patch to fix the issue so I can enjoy the rest of the game.

  • After weeks of playing and no bugs Isaac is invisible on every load for my game.

    @EA_Illium I was able to load a previous save and progress through the game as normal
  • Game is extremely broken. Series x player. Cant record any clips or pics as it says this game does not allow recordings. Enemies are invisibe. You only see there shorts. Items fall through floors. Cant kill enemies. Cant progress. Walk through doors. Cant get items. This is just out of hand. Restarted game and nothing. Uninstalled. Cleared data. Nothing works. Game is broken. Honestly cant play it. Its dissapointing. Such a great game with so many problems. Please fix.! If not how can i return becuase keeping a broken game is insane. Thanks

  • My glitches are similar, at Chapter 10 game keeps saying I need to pick up the crew card, but it is already in my inventory.  Furthermore, the live action clip with Mercer was an invisible man and monster, no subtitles on Mercer just Issac talking to himself and glass breaking out of Merced’s office but no monster 👹.  Come on EA, you guys have been around too long to rush things to market.  Good ideas poor product and at least, let us know something in the works for a patch.

    Can confirm mine does the same in the same spot, crew is being killed by nothing then a few seconds later a necro appears just in front of me taking a swing, had this happen a few times in different places, a vent bursts open and nothings there, then a necro appears 6 foot away from the vent coming at me

  • I am getting the same issue with the enemy characters. Playing on Steam PC. In a fight one or two of the necromorphs will just be invisible, sometimes they'll reappear if I swing my fist around but otherwise I just die to them. There really needs to be a patch to fix this.

  • I’m playing on impossible difficulty and only have one save and I’ve tried to reload it I’ve tried to close the game entirely and nothing seems to be fixing it. I’m pretty upset about this as I’ve made a lot of progress on impossible to just have it be null and void.
