Re: PC Performance (FPS drops, Stuttering)

Same here for me. Running on Ryzen 7 5800H + RTX3070 Laptop, 32GB DDR4, Samsung SSD, 1440p, Windows 10. I tried all graphics presets, but eventually all of them have the issue when at some point (mostly after the cutscene) fps drops below 10fps. Sometimes it cures itself in few seconds, but sometimes it requires me to relaunch the game in order to fix it. And it's the same location, the same position near a Save Station where the lag occured it came back to normal fps. 

Same here, I monitored my components and I see that my GPU is drawing very little power at these moments compared to what it is supposed to draw, GPU memory usage drops as well.

I encountered pretty much the same thing on a recent game, Spider-Man: Miles Morales on PC and it was fixed after the devs took care of it.

So I guess that all we have to do is wait now...

really bad frame rates and stuttering. Did all the tweaks and lower the graphics settings still run like *. I paid 89 bucks Australian. We need a patch real fast as consumer.

my specs 

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10600K CPU @ 4.10GHz, 4104 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s)

Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 16.0 GB

Graphic card-Intel ARC 750 with 8Gb video memory 

OS-Windows 11 64bit with the latest patches

Yes, agree. I've noticed it as well. Usage just drops for no reason while that fps lag occurs. And mostly it's fixable only by relaunching the game.

I'm in the exact same boat. Sitting at 80+ for five minutes, then I tank to 22 and can only fix it by exiting to the main menu.

Ryzen 5600x

3080

32GB RAM

NVME SSD

Windows 10

Exactly the same here, 80 - 90 4K DLSS Quality, drops to 28 to 30 after 5-10 mins and the down to a slideshow for cut scenes and does not return unless i quit to menu. Have tried everything and will be refunding if i dont see fixeses soon.

Same issue with RTX3060Ti, Ryzen 5 5600x, 16gb Ram, M.2 and Windows 10, all drivers updated, game reinstalled and happens in every graphics setting on every resolution

Similar issue. I didn't really experience noticeable framerate drop. However, after playing for a extended time like 2-3 hours, a Ishimura loading screen would show up out of nowhere and I had to force close the game and restart. This better gets a fix soon or it'd be literally impossible to clear impossible difficulty.

Spec:

CPU: i9-12900F

Graphics: 3080ti

RAM: 32GB DDR5

Stroage: 1TB NVME SSD

OS: Win 11

I have the same issue drops from 70fps to ~15, for me this game is non-playable at this moment. And this is so sad, because I really expect this game to be polished. But i get one of the worst experience I ever gad with PC game. Even GTA IV in 2008 was better than this.

I have R9 5900x + OC RTX 3070 + 64 GB ram + NVMe PCI-E 4 SSD

+1 for the same issue. Except my framrates go from 60fps+ to 3-7fps. Really a shame because it's destroying any atmosphere when a cutscene is ruined and I have to get to a save point at 3fps to restart my game.

- 5800x

- 3080 10gb

- 16gb 3200mhz

- NVME SSD

- Windows 10

I expected it was VRAM since I sit at 8.8-9.2gb and when the stutters occur (likewise, cutscene, new item, new area) it's usually pusing 9.5gb. I tried lowering my resolution from 4k to 1600p but they still occur but can't tell if frequency has changed. Restarting the game makes it work in the same area just fine.

This has reduced the amount the severe drops happen to about 1 per 2 hours if playing but the traversal stutter is still prevalant. Hope this helps some of you.

When i see it creeping in i just save and take a break!

Edit: Ironic we have some level of end user fix before developer/support acknowledgement of the issue, never mind the thread.

Eh....It's Monday and the game came out on Friday, so I wouldn't hold that against them. It is however an excellent showcase for why (and this absolutely does not just apply to games) releasing a product the day before a weekend/holiday is incredibly dumb.

Alas, victory was short lived, it has come back as bad the further i went (Chapter 2 is a mess) can't fight back or move reliably so have to shelve it again.

@Chris100185 I know and I am being a bit unfair, I have just waited so long for anything new that is more dead space I am just so frustrated. Hi Fi Rush can fill the gap while I wait for an additional patch. VRS toggle patch had no impact.

Thanks. I didn't think it would be but was curious. I'm still under 2 hours but just barely and I'd still like to refund if it isn't fixed soon. 

Same here honestly. The game is unplayable while this bug is present. Interrupting my gameplay each time just to fix it is certainly not the way i would be able to enjoy the walkthrough xD

I don't know if this will help anyone, but I was experiencing the exact same issues. I opened up task manager to see that my GPU was at 100% usage, but that it wasn't Dead Space that was taking up resources. It was Wallpaper Engine. I don't know if anyone else is going to have the same issues as me, but for whatever reason, on my machine, Wallpaper Engine DOES NOT play nice with DS. Paused Wallpaper Engine and the game immediately stabilized. Haven't had FPS drop below 100 since.

Hope this helps others dealing with the same issues. 

There was a patch but it didn't change anything for me, still no answer from EA and honestly I don't even know if it is their fault or Nvidia drivers' fault.

Saw this on Reddit if anyone wants to give it a try
https://www.reddit.com/r/DeadSpace/comments/10oyrmd/pc_possible_fix_for_performance_issues/

same here downloaded the patch on STEAM but it didn't fix *. What the * EA. I am getting really frustrated. This all I believe shader streaming or lightning is *. We need a real * fix fast 😞   

I decided to see what was going on on my set up. Went back through a save at a particularly bad point in Chapter 2 saw the following:

When normal and locked at 70FPS through Nvidia Control Panel:

GPU Load 85-100%

Power: 335W

CPU Load: 100%

CPU Power 84W

When cutscene/audio log tanks FPS to 7 (with immeadiate effect):

GPU Load 100%

Power: 110W (Close to Desktop Idle)

CPU Load: 54%

CPU Power 71W
