Problem with graphics (dead space 2)

i downloaded both Dead Space 2 and 3 last Sunday and played on the same computer.

i have no problem playing DS3 but i encountered graphical problem playing DS2.

I see a lot of flashing black pieces on the body of all characters, both the primary player himself (Isaac Clarke) and the monsters.

Since playing DS3 is fine on my computer, I believe my computer fits the graphic display requirements of DS2. So i guess the problems may refer to graphic setting in the game but i don't know what to do. please kindly provide some advice on this matter. Thanks

    Hi ukorov,

     

    In Origin, right click on the game and choose 'Repair Install'. Let that process finish and retry the game. It sounds like there are corrupt texture files in your game installation.

    okay i just tried but i cannot see the 'repair install' option for Dead Space 2 - I can find it for my Dead Space 3.

    There is the 'uninstall' option for Dead Space 2 but what will happen if i choose it???

    ukorov,

    First, go to C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\EA Games\Dead Space 2

    Backup any files there, these are your save game files. Once backed up you can the uninstall and reinstall the game without losing your game progress.

    Regards,

    ukorov,

    I do advise trying the game with different graphics settings, modified from within the game and from your video cards' control panel. If you could post a link to a screen shot of the issue that would be very helpful, as would posting your Dxdiag report.
