Steam Deck isn't able to launch EA app/Dead Space 3
This is in regards to Dead Space 3. Have previously been able to co-op between my friend on the Steam Deck and myself on a Windows 11 PC. Now within the last few months the EA app is unable to launch on his steam deck. His files are verified on steam, and he tried an earlier version of Proton and Proton Experimental to no avail. I read online and some people have commented that an update to the EA app broke something for Steam Deck users. Would love to be able to continue the co-op :(
Dead Space 3 Origin/Steam Grey screen crash
Hey, i've been struggling to get Dead Space 3 to work on PC lately. It used to work for years on the exact same computer. any time there's a quick time event the game gets a gray screen then crashes a few seconds later. Both steam and Origin versions have same problem. I've tried windowed with vsync off, reinstalling, verifying files, reinstalling DX setup and vcredist manually. 10+ nvidia graphics updates later and still same issue.Dead Space 3 - Help Steam Achievements
Hello EA Support, I'm contacting you regarding Dead Space 3 on Steam. Since an update released in 2024, several Steam achievements appear to have become unobtainable. As a result, it is currently impossible for players to complete the game 100%. The achievements affected are: - Aren't You Thankful? - Supercharger - Survivalist - Pure Lunacy Could you please investigate this issue? If restoring the required functionality is no longer possible, I would appreciate it if these achievements could be updated or removed from the Steam achievement list so that completion remains achievable. Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope this issue can be addressed for the remaining Dead Space 3 community.BAJAME EL PRECIO DEL DEAD SPACE, GRACIAS
Hi there! I'm a Steam user from Argentina and wanted to bring something to your attention. In 2023, Steam introduced a new LATAM region which includes many countries in Latin America such as mine, and also added suggested prices to make games more affordable while boosting sales.Currently, Dead Space doesn't have regional pricing here. Would you consider setting a price for our region when you get a chance? This would be greatly appreciated by players across Latin America! Kind regards,The Case for Dead Space 4: Why the Industry Demands a Sequel
The Case for Dead Space 4: Why the Industry Demands a Sequel Message: The contemporary gaming landscape is experiencing a massive resurgence in high-intensity survival horror and dark sci-fi narratives. The commercial and critical triumphs of Resident Evil Requiem, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, and the Silent Hill 2 remake demonstrate an unprecedented market appetite for mature, atmospheric thrillers. The 2023 Dead Space remake proved that this franchise remains the pinnacle of the genre; even if initial sales fell short of internal corporate metrics, the overwhelming critical consensus confirms that the demand for this universe remains potent. The Dead Space intellectual property offers an unparalleled synthesis of tactical combat, suffocating atmosphere, and psychological horror that remains unmatched. Leaving Isaac Clarke’s narrative permanently suspended following the cliffhanger of Dead Space 3 neglects a deeply loyal, multi-generational fanbase. Leveraging current-generation hardware, a definitive fourth installment would offer unprecedented immersion, sophisticated zero-gravity mechanics, and the narrative closure this legendary trilogy earned. The audience is engaged, the market viability is proven, and the continuation of Dead Space is vital. #DeadSpace4 #MakeDeadSpace4 #DeadSpaceRemake #EAMotive #ElectronicArts #SurvivalHorror #SciFiHorror #IsaacClarke #BringBackDeadSpace #GamingCommunityDead Space 3 Steam Achievements Not Unlocking Properly
Hello EA, I’d like to report an ongoing issue with several achievements in Dead Space 3: Survivalist, Aren’t You Thankful?, Pure Lunacy (DLC), and Supercharger (DLC). These appear to be unobtainable under normal conditions. This has been affecting players for quite some time now, and it prevents completionists from achieving 100% in the game. It would be great to get some clarification on whether a fix is planned. If fixing them isn’t possible, please consider removing these achievements, as was previously done with Brave New World. Thank you for your time. Also, please be advised that if this issue is not fixed, then the players of this game will continue to post this message because we care about getting a functional game that we pay for. Thank you.DEAD SPACE 2 - failed to launch game
Hello, I just downloaded the game, and every time I try to launch it I get an error message that says: 'failed to launch game' an error on our end caused the launch to fail. try again a little later. What should I do? It has already been showing me the same message for 3 days since installation.Unable 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.Unable to launch game "Game will not run in a virtual environment"

[Xbox One] Unable To Claim Dead Space 3 Online Pass From The In Game Store
So recently i wanted to play for the first time Dead Space 3 with my friend, and noticed that i need an add-on to be able to play Co-op with him, I checked the Xbox store and that specific content the isn't available same with Microsoft store, tried to access it from the menu of the game "downloadable content" and its giving me this specific message "Cannot retrieve information from the Xbox LIVE Marketplace. Please check your connection and try again." but noticed that my friend has access to this option and had no issues claiming the content (Online pass). Thanks in advance.
DS3. 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?" THXCrates 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.
Continuation 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. [Edit, EN only here please - CM]Dead 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.Broken 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.Survivalist, Aren’t You Thankful?, Pure Lunacy, and Supercharger achievements
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.
