Overview

This patch provides frame-rate-independent raw mouse input and removes additional third-person camera-orientation smoothing while preserving camera collision and normal character-turn smoothing. It modifies only the running process and does not alter game files on disk.

Compatibility

All the 32-bit PC executables for Dead Space 3 that have matching layout and hook coordinates to the version 1.0.0.1 documented in the repository are supported. The patch verifies the executable and guarded instructions before installing its hooks.

Before installing

This is an unofficial, experimental, largely AI-generated patch. Extract the archive into the directory containing deadspace3.exe (make sure you either download the release with the bundled loader or otherwise that you already have an available ASI Loader installed in the game's root directory (like Ultimate ASI Loader)), load into the game normally and it should work by itself. Press/Repress F7 & F8 to enable/disable the raw input fix for aiming and third person respectively, F9 and F10 to respectively decrease/increase the sensitivity multiplier (configurable in the INI).

Release v1.1.1

install instructions:
if you are not familiar with mods, download the zip with the loader, extract the zip into the game folder, launch the game, should work by itself

loosened up hard sha validation, now the mod only checks that the hook paths are present and layout is what it expects; it should work with other retail versions provided all the expected code paths are present.
