Will there be a Dead Space 2 Remake
Does anyone think they will be a Dead Space 2 Remake? i have been a long time fan of the Dead Space Franchise and i tried the spiritual successor to Dead Space, aka The Callisto Protocol and in my op...

I'm not sure what to say except it needs an SSD. What is your GPU etc. Hard to say without specs. Your CPU is i5-9600f. I imagine that may struggle in this game. But can't be sure. Certainly would have to use low settings.
Good luck. I hope you figure it out. Otherwise it really is just a hardware limitation.
When the game actually starts, it will run at 100 fps. After 30 seconds, it will completely freeze my computer. Doesn't matter the driver version number because I've tried every version since the release of the remake. The only other game that has done that recently is Gray Zone. I'm running an M.2 in PCIe. Furmark, 3d Passmark, and all manner of benchmarks and stress tests do not cause this issue.
All other games run just fine in every settings configuration, Ultra to Low; FSR on Quality, Performance, and completely off. Ranging between 30 to 100 fps (freesync cap on my monitor) in BF4, BG3, Farcry 5 and 6, Star Citizen, Starfield, and pretty much any other of my 400 titles in my Steam library. Hell, my computer can even run Crysis at 30 fps, for what it's worth
I fully believe you. But cannot offer a solution, I have no idea. The point is that for me, and others here it plays very well, no freezes , no crashes or anything like that.
There must be some kind of conflict between the game code at the start, to what happens on your monitor. I wish I could think of what it might be, especially as it's only that game.
But to be clear this is not a general issue. Your PC is powerful enough, and everything seems in order, so why this happens to you is beyond me. All I can do is say good luck. Something, somewhere is causing these problems. But it is not the game itself, that can be ruled out.
Let us know if you can resolve it somehow - again, good luck!
I'm also dealing with this issue. But I'm not going to discard the game. It's playable. But pay attention to what I'm going to say: they said the game runs poorly on NVMe M.2 drives. And that people have never complained about this when using a SATA SSD. Which seems to make sense, considering it's not a coincidence that even more powerful setups like those with an RTX 4090 or RTX 5090 still suffer from stuttering in certain areas. And what's the common factor in all these setups? The game is stored on an NVMe M.2 drive.
That's what's going to make me buy an additional SATA SSD to test and see if it solves the problem. It seems the issue with NVMe is that it's so fast the processor can't keep up. So later I'll come back here and let you know if it worked.
That indeed is a very interesting post. Yes I paid attention fully. The OP is using PCIe M2.
You may well have solved the problem for him. It''s post s like yours that make these forums so useful.
I Have my OS and DeadSpace remake on standard Samsung SSDs. I don't install games on my system drive. My set up is not as powerful as the examples you gave, but never the less I can max all setting, limit frames to 85 FPS (in Nvdia CP) which is rock steady and half the refresh rate of my 170Hz monitor refresh rate. I use DLSS quality option in the game. All other setting at max. No crashes, no stutters even. It looks top notch.
Please do post back, and perhaps reply to the OP, Squiddletiks, who has had awful trouble. Additionally you mentioned that the CPU can't keep up. Seeing as he is using a decent PC, and has no problems generally, but is using i5-9600kf that gives credence to your comment about CPUs.
Although I don't believe a newer higher spec CPU would be held back by any NVMe - except perhaps DS remake.
Could be the way it pushes code to the CPU is unusual. Also he gets 100fps for the first 30 seconds. Pretty good. Then it all messes up. Does, or could show something can't keep up - the CPU is the prime culprit after reading your post. But putting the game on an SSD may well solve all his issues. I would never have even considered that. I sincerely hope it works for him.
I'll see your post when you post back as I get notified, but I'm not the one with the problem. So:
I hope the OP hasn't given up and reads your post. He may well have an SSD in his PC already. I just hope the OS doesn't play a role, but it shouldn't. The SSD real life max data stream would be below 600MB/s.
Edit: All my games, of which I have many are on various SSDs. None of them are on my C: System drive, so safe to ignore that the OS plays any part in this, even if the OS in NVMe - I assume.
I replied to the wrong post. I have copy and pasted the very informative post by @K8ihpb etc etc.. what a user name!
Anyhow he gets all the credit for quite probably solving your issue. Whole post is below, but I copied and pasted anyway.

By the man k8ihp - impossible to remember user name. Don't take offense. Your post is great, but your user name is more like a password.

I got all the updates from this forum in my email. Been a hectic few months for me, what with going "heads down" into work, working far too long in the day, and moving house...
I appreciate that there are people who are still trying to solve my issues, but I've just given up any hope of playing DSR on my PC. It plays passibly on my SteamDeck and I've managed to get it running on my wife's PC (which is all hand-me-down hardware from my old setup: i5-7600, GTX 1070 FE, 16 GB DDR4 2333... Mostly all from 2017), albeit, barely managing to keep stable at 30 fps on account of pushing pixels to a 4k TV.
While I don't have a spare SATA SSD to try, I also haven't even turned on my desktop PC since the middle of May.
I've essentially kicked the can down the road. In the nearish future, I'll have a bit of money saved up specifically for upgrading my computer hardware. I believe the Radeon VII is ready for retirement, and the i5-9600KF is basically being used as a throttle to keep the GPU from turning the solder into a liquid. Whether or not any of that is true, I can't be certain, but it's high time to update my PC anyway.Fair enough I guess. I mean it is only one game. Bit of a shame but the time you have spent, well I'd probably do the same.
Thanks for letting us know your decision.
When you set up a new system with NVMe, if still interested in the game. You can probably find everything you need in this thread! Maybe archived though! 😁
Likely you won't need any help at all. Good luck with your next build/upgrade!
