    @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.

@EA_Shepard Yeah indeed, today I mounted my new SSD (took a while cause I also needed a PCIe to SATA expansion) but yeah, indeed. Game runs much better performance wise, no more issues with non rendering enemies, more smooth and the power cell spawned.
I had to restart the game from the beginning though as my old save was still "corrupted", if that makes sense, but now I could proceed through the game. Sucks a bit that to enjoy this game I had to spend more money for some hardware, but at least I'll use the SSD for other games too.
I can finally enjoy Dead Space in peace!

Hi @FinTuyokee, Oh yeah those cables. I have an entire box full of them just for parts. Ive had to do the same with thie one. I feel you there. It happened when I had a similar issue with AC, had to start over thankfully wasn't very far in. I'm happy to hear you can now play it. That is awesome. Enjoy.

Cheers!
