Unable to install Dead Space 3
What purpose does the forum or any "support" entity of EA even serve? In the information age, you cant get prompt responses on game-specific forums here, and of all the threads I have read in this area, the community managers basically say "there is nothing we can do." Why even run the things if you are either hamstrung into being unable to do anything, or are fundamentally unwilling to provide any help? (CM EA_Lanna: Edited to update thread title to focus question succinctly.)603Views3likes14CommentsUnable to launch game Game will not run in a virtual environment
I have a microsoft surface book 2 I am trying to launch Dead Space 3 on but am receiving an error "This game will not run in a virtual environment". Most surface devices you are not able to disable virtualization extensions. I am confused though because I also have a desktop running with vt-d enabled and it launches the game just fine. I've gone through a gauntlet of items turning windows features on and off trying to figure out how to get past this error but to no avail. Am I missing something about Microsoft surface devices that causes them to get flagged in error? I just don't understand why this isn't working.survient13 days agoRising Newcomer14Views0likes0CommentsUnable to launch game "Game will not run in a virtual environment"

Lately I’ve finished Dead Space 3 on hardcore difficult. But the achievement didn’t unlock. i tried to finish it a second time, but nothing changed. So I’ve tried again deleting the saves, and finish it again but yet… no achievement. Earlier I noticed that a popup told me I finished the game on hardcore before the end, but I didn’t bother and went on. It happened more or less as EA solved the bug on the achievement “Brave New World”. I tried to delete the game and install it again (on 2 different PCs), but the cloud saves doesn’t allow me to “factory reset” the game. i looked for the “progressions” file, but haven’t a clue. Any help?Solved19Daviz7917 days agoSeasoned Novice7.1KViews10likes102CommentsDead Space Remake invisible characters after loading a save issue
I seem to be having an odd issue that occurs after the game loads a save. It will save just fine but when I load sometimes Isaac will be invisible except for his weapon which floats in the air now. Also when this loadup issue happens I noticed necromorphs were also invisible. I had to start a new game to get around the issue the first time but then I was playing almost an hour and happened to be caught in a bad spot and killed. Well when it loaded the last save after death I had the invisible character glitch again. So I tried closing the game and relaunching in hopes it would work normally but it appears that the invisible glitch will persist in your saves once it happens and the only solution at this time is to start a new game again. I don't want to have to do that each time this weird issue happens. I hope that it can be patched up soon so I can enjoy the rest of the remake. The funny thing is it runs fluidly smooth even when it glitches like that. Its just you obviously can't play through the game if you can't see Isaac or the enemies you're fighting against.803Views0likes1Commentcant connect to ea servers on dead space 2 on xbox one

Why is the game telling me that Hardcore and Survival modes are completed?
Hi! I’ve now completed both modes, but the game was telling me they were completed even before that. And I never received the achievements for them. The game shows me a ticker with my friend’s kill statistics. Am I correct in understanding that this data is stored on a remote server, just like the data about completing various modes? Is there any way to reset it?" THX33Views0likes0CommentsDead Space 3 Achievements Bugged Post 2024 Patch
Hello, I would like to report along with MANY other players that the following achievements for Dead Space 3 do not unlock properly: Survivalist Supercharger Aren't You Thankful? The only reason I have "Aren't You Thankful?" is because I completed it before 2024. I cannot unlock Survivalist despite completing the entire main campaign on Pure Survival mode as shown in the screenshot attached. Supercharger does not unlock despite many attempts which were well under the 90 second limit to charge the reactor in the DLC. Please fix this as there are many players such as myself who would like to enjoy this game properly. You have removed the achievement for collecting all achievements, but then this bugged the entire game. Please implement another patch soon or simply remove these bugged achievements from the list. If you can remove one achievement, you do not need the original devs to remove the others. Thank you.Seskinator1129 days agoNew Novice125Views1like1CommentWill there be a Dead Space 2 Remake
Does anyone think they will be a Dead Space 2 Remake? i have been a long time fan of the Dead Space Franchise and i tried the spiritual successor to Dead Space, aka The Callisto Protocol and in my opinion it fell way WAY short of the mark. I know me and a friend of mine is hoping for a Dead Space 2 Remake cause the games i feel were left on a cliff hanger at the end of Dead Space 3 as they still had more source material they could have covered to make a Fourth game but....erichayes611 month agoSeasoned Newcomer6.3KViews3likes30CommentsCrates Not Opening Bug (Dead Space 2023)
I've searched for a while and only came up with a handful of people reporting this on Reddit with no workable solutions. I made it to chapter 5 only to find that any locked security crates refuse to open after passing the security clearance. The interact prompt just disappears and the box remains closed. I've tried restarting the game app, I've tried stomping, punching, shooting, and kinesis. Nothing. No other save files to reload. I'd try leaving for another area to see if that helps, but I'm locked in Medical for story reasons Honestly, 3 years after release and published by EA means I have no hope this game will see another patch and I'm a bit disappointed in myself for breaking a roughly 10 year streak of not giving EA my money.3nrcijgwd18m1 month agoRising Newcomer41Views0likes0CommentsContinuation of Dead Space.
I’ve gone through the entire Dead Space universe and I have to say: the game made a huge impression on me! In my opinion, the main downside is that the original story remains unfinished. And why is there still no sequel? That’s truly surprising! The theme of spaceships and жуткие monsters — as we can see from the recently released The Callisto Protocol — is still at its peak and more in demand than ever. The Dead Space universe deserves a new chapter: it needs a breath of fresh air. Here are a few ideas for a sequel: • Playing as a colonist on Eudora 7 (or Eden 7). Show life on the station before the disaster: daily routines, mundane tasks, and the first alarming signs of a threat. This would add depth to the world and amplify the impact of the subsequent events. • The story of an Ishimura crew member. Not the main hero, but an ordinary technician or medic. Through the eyes of a regular crewmember, you could show the sheer scale of the ship and the growing panic from the inside. • Moving away from the main storyline. For example, the story of a colony that accidentally discovers an ancient Marker and tries to study it without understanding the consequences. • A new scenario with an unexpected setup. A ship heading to a colony accidentally stumbles upon a drifting capsule containing a necromorph. The crew decides to bring the find onboard for research — and triggers a chain of horrifying events. What else should be improved in a new installment: • Larger‑scale locations. The Ishimura is a magnificent ship, but it feels a bit cramped for a long‑distance space mission. Modern people would likely experience depression and claustrophobia long before reaching their destination. • More diverse environments. Add: • parks or green zones onboard (artificial ecosystems to support the crew’s psychological well‑being); • residential sectors with multi‑storey buildings, shops, and cafes — to really feel like part of a living world; • an extensive metro or monorail system for moving between sectors of a massive ship/station. This would make the world feel more realistic and immersive. Overall, the Dead Space universe is grand and vast — the Ishimura alone is worth a lot! But its potential is far from being fully realised. I’m really looking forward to a sequel and hope the developers will listen to the fans’ wishes — then the new installment could become a true masterpiece of cosmic horror sci‑fi.

Dead Space Remake is one of the most visually impressive and well-crafted AAA titles in recent years. Its atmosphere, lighting, and technical presentation make it a standout experience on PC. To keep the PC version aligned with modern hardware, I would like to request an update to DLSS 3.5/4.5 (including Ray Reconstruction) and the latest FSR, along with Frame Generation support for both technologies. These improvements would boost performance and maintain stable, high-quality visuals in ray-traced areas. Implementing these changes could extend the game's lifecycle, encouraging both returning and new players. Thank you for considering this request.jacob1234432111 month agoRising Traveler661Views0likes1CommentBroken Achievements
Hello, I'm writing to inform you along with many others on Steam that 4 achievements in Dead Space 3 are currently impossible to unlock. The achievements are listed as the following: Survivalist, Aren't You Thankful?, Pure Lunacy (DLC), and Supercharger (DLC) I enjoy replaying my games and getting the most out of them for achievements and when they are broken it can remove the thrill of the game. Please either fix these achievements so they can be earned legitimately or just remove them. I understand this became an issue when you removed the achievement for earning all achievements for Dead Space 3 titled "Brave New World." This does not need the original dev team to be able to fix. Please also direct my message to EA_Shepard or any other community manager who is in charge and I'd be happy to explain more of this issue directly to them. Thank you and I appreciate you looking into this as I know MANY other Steam accounts are continuing to report this both on EA and within Steam.Seskinator111 month agoNew Novice41Views1like0CommentsBroken achievements
Hey EA, It’s really frustrating that 4 achievements in Dead Space 3 are currently impossible to unlock: Survivalist, Aren’t You Thankful?, Pure Lunacy (DLC), and Supercharger (DLC). It feels like we’re being punished for playing your game properly. Please either fix these achievements so they can actually be earned, or just remove them. Leaving them broken like this is unfair and only hurts the player community. We’ve been enjoying your games for years, but stuff like this makes it feel like you don’t care about the players. Thanks for looking into it.181Views8likes5CommentsFix or remove broken achievements in Dead Space 3
For me Broken achievement is "Epic Tier 4 Engineer". But people on the forums say that 4 more achievements are broken: Survivalist, Aren’t You Thankful?, Pure Lunacy (DLC), and Supercharger (DLC).

Just wanted to report that some achievements in Dead Space 3 are still broken — Survivalist, Aren’t You Thankful?, Pure Lunacy (DLC), and Supercharger (DLC). They don’t unlock at all. This makes it impossible to reach 100%, which is really frustrating. A lot of players are dealing with the same issue, so it’s clearly not just a one-off bug. Please either fix these achievements or remove them. Right now, there’s no way to complete the game properly.hmtos371 month agoSeasoned Novice33Views1like0Comments
