Re: Can't Turn Off V-Sync In Dead Space 2

@4770376 DS2 has always been infamous for it's terrible frame control on PC, if VSync is on, you'll be stuck at ~30fps and if you leave it off it will go as high as your hardware can push it, which messes up a lot of in-game physics/animations - this may be your crashing issue.

Now, reading the unofficial wiki, it states that systems with 10+ CPU cores may crash on start - you may need to set the core affinity for the game to one core only. Read more about it here: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Dead_Space_2

You can also try tweaking the game settings manually by editing the settings file under this location: %LOCALAPPDATA%\EA Games\Dead Space 2\settings.txt. to change the VSync option back to on.

    Sorry for the late reply, but I managed to fix it. 

    If I am remembering correctly here is what i did.

    I first set the screen to a smaller size (like windowed I think), and then I turned of the V-Sync. It surprisingly worked for me and now the game runs really smooth.
