Dead Space: Extraction is a video game for the Wii that is a prequel to the 2008 video game Dead Space. Dead Space: Extraction takes place before the events of Dead Space and during the same time as the animated film Dead Space: Downfall. It revolves around a group of space colonists from the Aegis VII colony fighting against the infection of Necromorphs created when the Red Marker is removed. Necromorphs are the re-animated, mutated corpses of dead humans and serve as the major antagonists of the game.
Problems
Texture Cache Issues
Texture Cache must be set to Safe or odd glitchy lines appear in textures. Refer issue 10705.
Flash Effect / Chapter 8 Shadow Issues
- A flash effect should cover the whole screen, but only covers half.
- Weird black shadow effect that take up half the screen may occur in the chapter 8 boss fight.
Turning off Store EFB Copies to Texture Only and Defer EFB Copies to RAM will correct these.
