Traversal stutter on PC
The PC version suffers from traversal stuttering, moving to new areas very often causes the game to stutter, this can also happen randomly from my experience. I have read 100s of reports on ResetEra ...

@macatak Yeah, we had several AMD GPU owners report stuttering in the Reddit post the dev’s made about the issue.

I think we'll be getting his PC breakdown for Dead Space in the next couple of days, hopefully then we might actually get a fix (bad press from Digital Foundry always seems to magically speed up the process).
- @macatak I’m aware, but the PC versions seem to be much more severe. I believe the console’s DirectStorage (and Sony’s equivalent) make the problem a lot less apparent. Every PS5 owner I’ve asked said it’s hardly noticeable, and only happens at tram stations or specific “loading areas” that aren’t intrusive. I subbed to DF’s Patreon to watch their tech review early, and they indeed confirmed there were traversal stutters but that they were few and far between, and unobtrusive. Meanwhile the game stutters in ever hallway and doorway in my experience, much like @MrH999 has shown in his tests.
