PC solution for getting by asteroid field in Level 4

Bassdog69 · 09-03-2009, 08:20 PM

Hello. I have FINALLY figured out how to get by the asteroid field in Level 4. I realized that the one thing that was stopping me from being able to destroy all of the asteriods I needed to was lack of mouse movement. So here's what you do:

Turn your PC's resolution down to the LOWEST available in the game, which is 640 x 480 60HZ (not sure if the 60HZ will matter).

After I did this, moving the mouse was SUBSTANTIALLY easier and I was shooting asteroids like ducks in a pond! I was able to get by the first time with a shield integrity of over 40%! YES! After the cut scene, go back and save and crank up the resolution again.

After a WEEK of dying on this screen, I am moving on! Let me know if I helped you, Dead Space lovers!

Have you noticed that the different mousr buttons fire seperate cannons? Left button for left cannon (laser on left) and Right button for right cannon (laser on right), you can fire both at once for big asteroids,

If your reducing your resolution to 640x480 it means that your PC hardware/graphics card is really weak and can't cope with higher resolution which is why its causing lag thus your unable to play properly.
640x480 is a really really bad resolution all looks ugly. The images look scratched and watered out with paint

Get a stronger graphics card and you will feel that it is much smoother and you'll be shooting asteroids like ducks too!
