Expired CD Keys Dead Space 2 (2017 date of purchase)
Expired CD Keys How do you resolve this? I have already contacted both Valve and EA CD Key ticket. Yet to get any useful help. This really is ridiculus. How can a key bought over 5 years ago expire. This makes things so limited. The money is not the problem either. Since it is bought through steam, I cant even buy a new one there. How absurd is that. In the end I made a new account and bought a new one. Still this is/should not be the way to resolve things.

Wrongful Account Suspension
Right so basically I bought the Dead Space Remake as well as 2 and 3 on steam during a Sale, when I started playing the Remake I made an EA Account within it. The next day however when I launched it again I was met with a message telling me my Account was Suspended because I didn't follow Terms of Sale or Terms of Service. I've messaged EA support per Email multiple times and am only receiving automated responses now telling me this decision is final, before that I was simply told I breached Terms of Sale or Service but never what specifically I breached. Since the EA account is stuck to my steam and I can't just link a different EA account (I've tried) I would have to play on another steam account with another EA account if I ever wanted to play Titanfall or another EA game multiplayer. I seriously don't understand how I can get my EA account indefinitely suspended in a Singleplayer game I purchased on steam other than EA messed up and won't fix it. So with that I'm here now for another attempt, maybe someone here knows something, also if there was a better place to write this I barely use EA so I'm entirely confused with how horrible this has been. Thanks in advanceSolved411Views0likes1Comment
Dead Space Remake Impossible difficulty
I have been playing Dead Space for years now, when I heard there was new unlockables in the remake I was ecstatic. Unfortunately I am getting on in the years and it is literally Impossible for these unlocks without new game plus. Is there anyway to get these unlocks in NG+ Impossible?Solved635Views0likes3Comments
Dead Space 2 Online Pass
It’s 2024 and I’ve tried everything, the online pass is inaccessible unless you buy the physical game. I tried searching for it but I’m about to just drop it. Did EA shutdown their Dead Space Servers or do they simply enjoy making it difficult for everyone else? UPDATE!!! I was doing it on Cloud Play and it wouldn’t work. THE FIX!!! Download it and goto the store.. apparently no YouTuber ever thought of explaining that so I am.Solved708Views2likes1Comment

Dead Space 2 Via Steam Having owned the game on steam since 2012 i have attempted to install the game again on my new pc but was met with "The activation limit has been exceeded! Contact customer support for more information". After some research i found that i have to have my serial key activations reset, the problem is under game support on help.ea.com Dead Space 2 is not listed with all other titles listed.

Greetings. So... a couple of days ago I opened DS3 and, on coop mode, I got this pop up notification saying my NAT type is strict. Since then I haven't been able to play on coop mode.

[EA app] Dead Space 2 refuses to finalize installation
Hi, I've the same issue described in other topics which were closed without a solution (latest is one month ago) : it means that you have a serious and real issue to fix. I've configured a new PC on Windows 11 and downloaded FOR THE FIRST TIME Dead Space 2 from my EA Library, using your default settings. When I click RUN, I have the same errer message than others : "Your game failed to launch. An error on our end caused your launch to fail. Try again a little later." but in french (see attached). So as it's on your side, can you fix this asap for the account associated with the registratino I used to open this ticket ?

Hi, I'm having trouble starting Dead Space 2 on Windows 11 using EA App ("Failed to launch game. / An error our end caused the launch to fail. Try again little later.") I tried steps from: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Other-Dead-Space-Games/Old-Report-Dead-Space-2-won-t-launch-from-EA-App/m-p/12573775/highlight/true#M17267 -reinstalled and repaired DS2 and EA App, -cleared cache/temp, -updated all the drivers, -tried Compatibility Administrator (32-bit) fix for DeadSpace2.exe (ProcessorCountLie and ProcessorCountLieHybridCPU), -running EA App / DS2 as an admin. Also created help ticket with support, but we've run of things to try (it was basically the same list) - also my game is visible in EA App on all my PCs as "Dead Space 2" whether installed or not, but on Help.EA.COM in game list I see only Dead Space 1 and Dead Space 3 (DS1, 2 and 3 was a bundle I've bought long time ago). Please, help - I can supply any logs etc.Solved1.7KViews0likes9Comments
[Feedback] Things to Consider for an Eventual Dead Space 2 Remake/Remaster
Hello EA Community, Dead Space 2 is arguably the most beloved game in the series and for good reasons, as it does the best job at exploring the Action Horror concept. I have played this game a lot recently, and I thought I would leave some of my thoughts on which aspects could be improved in the eventuality of a Remake/Remaster: 1. Technical: Upgrade to newer DX version with options for Ambient Occlusion, Volumetrics, Resolution Scaling up to 200% and support for SMAA/TAA. Those should offer great graphics and future proofing. Raw Mouse Input support and bindable side buttons for optimal mouse experience. Hold/Toggle options for Sprinting and Aiming instead of manual keybinds (Ideally they shouldn't allow to sprint while aiming like in DS Remake). Roll Left/Right controls for flight, similar to DS Remake. Fixes for physics and event triggers breaking with high FPS. Fix for the Solar Array Elevator breaking after dying and requiring a game reload. Fix for the Mining Drill bug where it breaks if you save midway through completing the room. QTE's should require less button spamming, as it gets a bit ridiculous. Ability to skip the video calls if the player wants to save time. Speedrunners will love this. Slightly faster animations for using Locator, Stores, Workbenches, Saveboxes and Suit Swaps to make the gameplay feel a bit more fluid. Hardcore mode should have 1 save file with unlimited saves that downgrades to Survivor when dying instead of having 3 saves per run. Achievements for PC. Severed DLC on all platforms. 2. Combat & Progression: Many weapons have pointless alternate fires. In my opinion the arsenal should be swapped with the Dead Space Remake version plus a Javelin Thrower with a cooler visual design, there's no real need for Seeker/Rivet Gun/Detonator as they would be redundant. Although a redesigned Rivet Gun would also be nice. Pulse Rifle should fire a single bullet on tap instead of two (like in DS Remake). It's annoying to waste twice the ammo needed to destroy crates or to pop loot from bodies. Empty nodes for weapons should be replaced with capacity and reload upgrades, which should give a smaller bonus instead. Capacity upgrades should only give ammo equal to the added capacity instead of a full clip, as they end up giving too much free ammo. Plus it can be exploited by resetting the nodes. Fully upgrading a weapon should give some kind of bonus, even if it's just visual. Currently it feels underwhelming going from optimal to fully upgraded. Suit upgrades should include stasis and kinesis bonuses instead of empty nodes, similar to DS Remake. Remove Special edition variants for guns as they are too strong anyway, and make the skins usable from a separate menu. Armor skin variations should either cost money or give only the special effect, and be selectable from a different menu so they don't bloat the shop. Some of the skins should be collectibles, rewarded for achievements or placed instead of the removed weapons or even some of the nodes. Node powered rooms are pointless, as they actually give more than a node worth of goodies for your node anyway. They should instead have a nearby secret key or puzzle that unlocks them. Collected nodes after being fully upgraded should be converted to extra credits, as they no longer have a use. Exploder sack radius needs to be slightly toned down, so he can only instakill in his immediate proximity. The boss fights are kind of scarce in this game. It could have used an extra boss in the mid game and another one towards the end. I hope that someone will eventually find something useful in this post, and that at some point a Remake/Remaster of Dead Space 2 will be considered. This game is one of the classics and it needs to be brought up to modern standards, eventually. Cheers!Solved1.3KViews2likes3Comments[Feedback] Dead Space Remake Needs One More Patch
Hello EA Community, Dead Space Remake is an awesome game and I've been playing it quite a lot recently. However, it could truly use another patch with some bug fixes and quality of life improvements to reach its full potential. Here's what I think the game could benefit from: 1. Technical: Fix softlock in Chapter 3 where if you return from the south engine without refueling it, going back makes the kinesis lever unusable. Fix fire streams from pipes that were blocked by boxes not resetting upon reload in chapter 9 before salvaging the singularity core. Fix elevator in Chapter 10 near Zero-G Basketball so it doesn't stop functioning if you immediately go back down after going up. Fix softlock in Chapter 11 if you skip quarantine lock by running straight to Hangar Bay to meet Kyne. Fix softlock in Chapter 12 where the batteries don't spawn in the Zero-G room. Fix softlock in Chapter 12 where in the final section of moving the marker the last terminal breaks if you use it, then save and reload. Fix flight deck store being empty if you speedrun to it at the start of the game. (Happened on NG++, no saves were done) Fix being able to drop in the gap where you have to move the tube with the dead Necromorph in Imaging Diagnostics. Fix Aim Toggle + Sprint Hold bug that enables sprinting while aiming. Fix Divider dropping multiple items if Stasis is used on him during his death animation while having his legs shot off. Fix Brutes dropping multiple nodes if shot multiple times during its death animation. Fix Linegun triple trap upgrade sometimes not working after swapping other weapons at the store. Add an option to skip the video calls, similar to how the audio logs work. It's annoying to sit through them while speedrunning. Slightly faster animations for using Locator, Stores, Workbenches, Saveboxes and Suit Swaps to make the gameplay feel more fluid. Right now using them kills the pacing when speedrunning. Add SMAA, DLAA, FSR3AA, XeSSAA anti-aliasing methods and Resolution Scaling up to 200% to future proof the game. The current TAA solution compromises the color accuracy and that's a shame, as the game looks really nice. Some performance optimizations to make the game less prone to stutter would be welcome. 2. Combat & Progression: Flamethrower is way too ammo efficient, it should use up a tiny bit more ammo when firing. Pulse Rifle primary fire feels too weak, the base damage needs to be increased by ~10 pts (for a total of 50). Pulse Rifle grenade is too strong early. It should start with lower damage, then Special 2 upgrade should increase it to current strength. Pulse Rifle weapon fire animation doesn't seem to sync properly with the SFX. There should be a synchronicity between the firing sound, muzzle flash and bullet tracer that make using a gun feel responsive which isn't quite there for this weapon. Tier 2 Upgrade path for Pulse Rifle should have the bottom RLD node swapped with a DMG node from Tier 3 to make it worthwhile going into. Special 2 upgrade for all guns is kind of worthless, as you already have lots of magazine capacity nodes. It should have a more meaningful effect. Buying capacity upgrades should not give a full magazine, but only the extra amount of ammo capacity. Currently it ends up giving too much free ammo, making the game too easy. Maximum magazine capacity for most weapons is quite random. For Plasma Cutter is 23, it could've been 25 to use a full ammo pack. Same for Line Gun, I believe 9 (an entire line rack) would've sufficed instead of 11. Pulse Rifle also doesn't really need more than 150 ammo capacity. Fully upgrading a weapon should give some kind of bonus, even if it's just visual. Currently it feels underwhelming going from optimal to fully upgraded. Suit health upgrades should stop at 200 HP, as the current 225 HP makes you a bit too tanky and kills the survival tension. Maximum stasis capacity should be 5 charges. Between the large capacity and plethora of recharge stations it currently feels like stasis packs are useless, as you always seem to have energy for it. Collected nodes after getting fully upgraded should be converted to extra credits, as they no longer have a use. Brutes don't have a strategy to defeat them that does not involve stasis, which there's no guarantee you'll have. That's poor design, there should be an alternate, harder way to tackle them that doesn't rely on consumables. The 100$ drops feel extremely underwhelming considering the item prices. They should be worth 150$ instead so they feel somewhat valuable. Unlocking a secure locker should automatically open it, as there is no reason not to. The difficulty modes could've had more immersive names, like Rookie / Engineer / Survivalist / Immortal (since this one's about not dying). I hope the developers get to read this and perhaps convince the upper management to allow an anniversary patch of sorts. It would allow this game to reach its full potential and would also bring some positive sentiment after the rumors about Dead Space 2 Remake being cancelled.Solved1.3KViews0likes3Comments[EA app] Dead Space 3 making me sign in to Origin
I'm having the same issue with Dead Space 3. I purchased and played it with my friend last week with no issue, but now whenever I attempt to load the game, a popup tells me to log in to Origin to activate the game. I don't have an Origin account, and I didn't need one to play last week. I clicked the "Create Account" button, which led to an error where "Origin" thnks I'm not connected to the internet. I tried clearing the cache (which actually removed Dead Space 3 from my account until I restarted the app, which was weird). I restarted the app. I reinstalled the app. I "repaired" the game files. I tried to find if I ever had an Origin account, but all links to Origin redirect to the EA website talking about the EA app. For all I can tell, the Origin app is dead, and I can't access it. Google said the error I get saying I'm not connected to the internet could be a firewall issue, but I can't grant Origin access through the firewall because the Origin app DOESN'T EXIST... I really am out of ideas. It's quite frustrating that I can't play a game through the launcher I bought it from because a launcher that doesn't exist anymore is having a temper tantrum.Solved2.2KViews0likes4Comments
