Flying bodies
Dear EA support,
Today, just a few minutes before this post, I purchased a copy of Dead Space 3. The game is great, looks great, and runs great, except for one tiny issue:
Every single (dead) body in the game, whether I shot it or it was already there, starts bouncing all over the place like crazy.
Imagine a body on the floor, and it starts flying as if somebody picked it up by clicking on it, and then shaking the mouse in every direction as fast as possible: That's what's happening in my Dead Space.
It breaks immersion, it's INCREDIBLY noisy as they keep bouncing off walls, and it looks to be a physics problem.
My DirectX and the like are updated, my graph. Drivers are as well.
My specs, from DXDIAG. I didn't paste the entire thing, so I hope it's sufficient.

Poll w/ Interrupt: NoI hope it's possible to fix this on my end, though if I may take a guess, it's probably an incompatibility with my graphics card.
If it's hard to imagine this issue I can record it or takes screenshots of it as required.
Edit: I should mention this is for the PC version of the game. Apologies.
Thank you for your time,
Martijn
I had this issue as well, very irritating. I was able to fix it by disabling vsync in game, and enabling it in nvidia control panel, so i get a smooth 120 frames and no flying corpses. I'm unfamiliar with ATI cards, but I would assume the same thing will work.
