[PC] Chapter 2 Power Cell Disappeared
Hello everyone,
I bought not long ago Dead Space.
I started playing the game normally (installed on HDD), without nearly no performance issue. Game running smoothly, just a bit of stutter when loading / rendering large and new areas.
Yet, I am now going insane because I am stuck in chapter 2. I tried to restart the game twice, but the same bug occurred twice.
After removing the power cell from the wall in aforementioned chapter, enemies spawn. I leave the power cell on the ground, I eliminate the enemies, and when I return to look for the power cell, the power cell is nowhere to be found. I can say that it spawned for sure as I grabbed it with telekinesis, but for some reason it despawns. I have checked throughly the entire section of the map, forcing my screen gamma and brightness to blinding levels to make sure I was not missing anything. I searched for more than 15 minutes on my first playthrough, removing all items from the room, checking for possible clipping with ceiling, walls, etcetera. Nothing.
It's greatly disappointing that I'm not able to play a game that I paid 60€ due to a gamebreaking bug.
I play the game on Steam.
Attached my DxDiag.
Anyone knows how to handle this issue? Steam will not issue a refund because the game was bought too long ago.
Regards!
@FinTuyokee Hey, so this was a thing for a lot of players. What it comes down to is what type of drive the game is installed on.
It's about loading game content as fast as it needs to load. The game itself was designed for SSD and not HDD.
The real only way to test it out is to reinstall it to an SSD if you have one. There are not a lot of ways to "speed up" an HDD if Windows and everything else is running on it.
