If applied aggressively, however, you can lose graphical quality dramatically. Most times, this setting can work wonders if it targets areas where shaders are less necessary or out of range. VRS is a performance-increasing option that curtails shading in favour of a boost to performance in certain areas. It seems as though the option to disable VRS on PC may fix the shaders issue players were encountering. The original patch post can be viewed on the Dead Space Reddit here, where the EA Community Manager promises that the dev team is continuously looking to support the game post-launch and are actively reviewing any issues with the game. The patch is available now for PS5 and PC players and will release for Xbox players later this week.

It appears others have also reported bugs with the running mechanic and have also experienced black screen glitches.
