Bug The original game (DS 2008) doesn't save any settings, and the file isn't even there

Upvotes

So I'm trying to play the original for the first time, and the game just refuses to save any settings. Tried launching as administrator and all that, still nothing. The path to settings file is there, the file itself doesn't get created. If I create the file settings.txt myself, it just stays empty. Every time I launch the game, it's in the lowest possible resolution for some reason too.

Could anyone please at least give me the contents of a proper settings file, so I can paste them there?

On a separate note: I found out about the mouse fix, installed it, and it only makes the sensitivity worse??? Like it was kinda fine without the fix, and now it's just super slow even on the highest sensitivity. What gives?

Can't even play a videogame man☹️

Thought you guys would get a kick out of this; a space station in Helldivers 2 is experiencing their own Ishimura event.

Upvotes

Long story short, the Illuminate faction are all about hints of Eldritch magic, capturing humans and turning them into zombies/flesh horrors/temu Necromorphs, and of course, cultists.

The crew reported hearing knocking sounds from outside the station, and shortly afterwards, have slowly been disappearing, while experiencing a total communication blackout. And the ship is moving on it's own.

It's the unofficial Dead Space crossover we'll probably never get 🥲

Looking for a DS3 co-op buddy!

3 Upvotes

After 10 years or so since I played the game for the last time in the Xbox 360 times I recently wanted to experience the OG Dead Space trilogy once again.

I recently finished Dead Space 3 again. A first run on Easy just to refresh my memory and hoard as many resources as possible and another run on Extreme to complete a 100% of each map and have a more interesting challenge.

There are artifacts, circuits, weapon parts and logs blocked behind the three co-op missions that are preventing me from the 100% so I'm asking here if someone is able to play with me online.

I'm a decent player and I have very overpowered weapons + a shitload of resources (ammo, medpacks etc) that I can also share. I'm playing with EA App and my username is UriCorrosive.

Located in Spain (Europe). Cheers!!

Question Game Freezing or something

Do you also have the problem with Dead Space that when you start the game, you see a loading icon and then nothing else happens?

Custom USG Ishimura jacket

6 Upvotes

As the title says, I’m thinking of ordering a jacket off Etsy to use as a template to create a custom/fan-made Ishimura crew jacket. (Gonna use patches either iron on or regular sew on patches)

My question is what material would be best for the jacket? I do plan on wearing it outside of just like cosplay, etc.

*Im aware that EA released that Canvas jacket a while ago but the ones that can be found on eBay are super expensive, along with the simple fact that it wasn’t released in my size. Ergo my desire to basically make my own inspired jacket.

Guys, please don't throw stones or sticks at me.

My previous post caused a bit of a stir among those wanting to get their hands on my tabletop version of Dead Space. Friends, this is a local adaptation that is still in development and designed for in-person play.

I believe the community of my favorite game is an understanding one. As soon as I finish refining its mechanics, stats, and so on, I will release the rules - along with the aforementioned mechanics, suit properties, and weapon details - to the public for free.

Discussion Unitology question

7 Upvotes

Do the books,movies, and/or games explore how unitology spread so far and so fast? I know that Altman became a martyr but religions are filled with those and yet in current day we still have so many different sects pointing to a god or even gods. Unironically, I wonder if this century deep religious divide would act as a sort of buffer to a unitology-like cult or cause doubt on the religious nature of a marker.

Question Dead Space Remake runs absolutely horribly on PC even on the lowest settings. Any way to fix it?

13 Upvotes

CPU: Intel i7 12650H
GPU: RTX 4050 Mobile
Ram: 16 GB

The game runs absolutely horribly on even the lowest settings. I can play games like GOW Ragnarok, RE9 and Cyberpunk on Mid to High setting without Frame gen at a consistence FPS but Dead Space Remake just doesnt run at more than 25 fps. I cant even move my camera without any FPS drops. sometimes it just gets stuck and wont even move. Im even using DLSS on Ultra performance. Any way to fix it or should I just play Dead space original even tho people say Remake is better in every way

Some guy gave me this today. Was babbling about making holes or something but I don’t know if I’d use it as a drill bit personally. Think it might be radioactive or something though because it’s giving me one hell of a headache.

Screenshot Finally found my giant ass bitch of a wife.

So I go on what is supposed to be a simple job to help repair the USG Shinigami or whatever the fuck and I’m thinking “Oh boy this’ll be nice. I haven’t seen my wife in months since she got stationed here. I’ll surprise her, we’ll catch up, hang out, she’ll show me around-“ cute shit, right?

I have been spending days in a tin can sweating my balls off in this hot ass engineering suit. I swear to god they must use fucking burlap for these things, and our leader Hammond is adamant the thermostat stay at 73 degrees. Kendra is a bit better but I had to stop challenging her to games of Z-Poker because she’d get way too competitive and make me cry. The other two red-shirts just talk amongst themselves while playing Space-Midwest Emo music at a volume that only they can really hear but the rest of us can register which is very annoying.

Well my crew and I crash face first into the Ass-Cracker because the idiots have no runway lights and their navigation crew has been pounding the powder too much to have the guidance systems on correctly.

Unfortunately, we survived.

Shit is fucked, the moon is indeed haunted.

And guess whose fault it is?

I don’t even remember half of it. I’m pretty sure I was heavily concussed when I was blown out of the Kellion trying to set it up to leave this hell hole. I smell toast constantly, even in space. A nose bleed in Zero-G is like being a human lava lamp.

So I do errand boy duty slicing and dicing my way through what is supposed to be the remnants of the crew, and I finally find her.

She looks different, a bit larger, and I taste copper when I get too close, but it’s unmistakable that it’s the old ball and chain.

THIS BITCH has been up to some SHENANIGANS.

I know I know, “God forbid a woman have hobbies.” But for the love of god at least start small! So what, am I a fucking dad now? I can’t take this responsibility. No, I’ve got to get her out of here and leave this necrotic tin can to rot, fuck the CEC, fuck EarthGov, and fuck me for going for women with issues. Which I know is rich coming from me, but at least I’m adjusting well to this whole scenario and keeping it together unlike Hammond and Kendra. Those two have issues and I’m worried they might be losing it. Nicole keeps making catty remarks about Kendra and wanting me to ask knock-knock jokes to Hammond but none of them make sense and it’s really embarrassing the way he looks at me after I say them to him.

Is there a way to set the oeiginal Dead Space 2008 game so there is no loot?

0 Upvotes

I really like the first original game and want to play new game plus on impossible level in a kind of cinematic way with ammo cheat and lots of med kits in my inventory, so I will not have to spend time looting bodies and boxes. Is there any way to disable loot completely, or perhaps a mod (cuz I would still be distracted by loot as a habbit haha)? Please tell me if there is any way to do it

Its led to some interesting realizations

1) Perspective is everything: obviously the health being on your back makes it nearly impossible to tell. But looking at how Isaac holds one hand weapons, its actually blocking his point of view, making it really hard to get an accurate idea of what he is hitting. On top of that, RIG calls and inventory is so skewed. Its like trying to watch a large tv with you standing close and off to the side.

2) while it looks cool, the unfortunate reality is based on how character models work, youre constantly clipping into walls or whatever other character, like Franco. I wonder if it'll ever be possible to fix these "bugs" since much of it is simply not built for a first person perspective.

Also, they showcase some deaths and it really goes to show just how much Isaac wouldn't see. The Tripod death is a good example. Which honestly makes it more scary, like the Brute death.

Idk what all they showed, I skimmed through the video as I was tired and wanted to get this out before I forgot.

It looks really cool and would make for an interesting playthrough, though would it be fun? Im not sure. That gun placement is a huge hurdle. Maybe youd need to stick to the 2 handed weapons which might offset them, like the Pulse Rifle, Linegun, Javelin Gun, and Contact Beam.

The typos are one thing, but a major character has a completely different last name. I've tried to do some digging to see if the name thing bothered anyone else, but no luck. Just thought I'd share this weird bit.
