Dead Space 2 Wont Lauch
First off, The fact that i have to go to a forum for support and not have the ability to contact EA directly without running into a piece of !@#$ AI software that literally does nothing but ask for information and direct you to the forum is unacceptable. Now that that's out of the way i need help on trying to launch dead space 2 on the EA APP on PC. I've tried every method the other forums explained and nothing seems to work. I just finished the first one and it was amazing. Please Help
Dead Space
bonjour, je 'arrive pas à lancer Dead Space sur mon PC. Ca me dit qu'une erreur vient du coté de EA et de réessayer plus tard. Or ça fait 10 jours que l'on réessaye plus tard et ça ne fonctionne toujours pas, et bien évidement l'assistance n'est pas disponible sur ce jeu. Nous l'avons désinstallé et réinstallé plusieurs fois et utilisé aussi la réparation, mais rien n'y fait... Pour info : voici ma configuration Stockage 9,10 TB Memoire RAM installee 64,0 Go Carte graphique 12 GB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Vitesse : 4200 MT/s Processeur 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900K 3.00 GHz Une idée de comment faire ?
An error on our end cuased the launch to fail.... Dead Space 3
Hello all Yet another disgruntled user whose having this stupid problem. Whats affected? Dead Space 3 Whats happening? After 2 hours of gameplay on the 17th of Feb (on twitch becuase yay fun times) - I attempted to play the game again. You know as you would with a game you have purchased. HOWEVER - the game and whatever else is going on - has other plans. Namely to frustrate and anger me to the point of heavy drinking. I have now spent FAR MORE TIME troubleshooting this stupid problem than I have actually enjoying the game I purchased. The game - refuses - to load after load screen - after it loaded to the main screen, choosing a save file OR a bran d new game (in an attempt to play coop) - I am greeted by the following sequence of events. Immediate shut down of the game - the Ea app showing a lovely message : An error on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later. I have been 'trying later' for 3 days. System : Windows 11 25h2 update - 5800x, 9070 xt, 64gb ddr4 ram I have attempted the following troubleshooting: Close and restarted steam. Close and restarted EA app I have cleared the EA origin cache on the app Verified files via Steam (the EA app says I must manage the game via Steam so I cannot do this on the EA app) Closed and restarted the PC it was based on I have changed DNS from - automatic to - Google 8.8.8.8 - to Quad 9 DNS 9.9.9.9 and back I've tried running through VPN to numerous countries via NORD I have turned off/ disabled / shut down every concievable overlay or game recorder or integration I have or know of that is installed (Logitech, Medal, MSI Afterburner, Steam, EA App, AMD Adrenalin, ShareX) Rebooted the router AND internet it was based on. I have deleted, reinstalled and clean wiped graphics drivers I have updated Motherboard drivers I have uninstalled the game I have uninstalled the EA App I have clean wiped all traces of the EA app from the system using Revo uninstaller and its associated 'hidden gem finder' to totally wipe it Removed all save game data from my system (I was you know only 2 hours in, who cares right? ) I have rolled back windows updates that happned AFTER the game was played successfully I have REUPDATED windows to their latest patches I thought it could be due to a resolution issue - since I am on 1440p and the game originally launched in Casio Calculator vision - so i have reset that by going through the settings file to manually reset those resolutions on the text file. I have installed the game on my 2nd PC that I have as a stream pc - lower specs 5800x - Nvidia 1070ti, MSI motherboard - which meant a fresh install of the game, a fresh install of the EA App, and a totally different connection I have thought this could be some kind of connection bug or hiccup - so I have ALSO specifically set windows firewall excemptions for EA app AND Dead space 3. I have gone through this forum, I have gone through Steam forums, I have gone thru Reddit forums Tried steps on: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1238060/discussions/0/762933704335078456/ https://forums.ea.com/discussions/ea-app-technical-issues-en/dead-space-3-not-launching-with-ea-app/7620229 https://forums.ea.com/discussions/dead-space-franchise-discussion-en/dead-space-3-pc-incompatible-with-most-resolutions/7192315 https://forums.ea.com/discussions/dead-space-franchise-discussion-en/dead-space-3-dont-launch-on-my-computer/7228091 I have seen THIS POST about running it in compatibility mode using windows vista service pack 2 - or ANY other compatibility mode https://forums.ea.com/discussions/dead-space-franchise-discussion-en/pc-unable-to-launch-dead-space-2008/7236621 I have EVEN found this post relating to license based issues that cuased the same problem to show up - and followed THOSE steps https://forums.ea.com/discussions/dead-space-franchise-discussion-en/pc-dead-space-2-failed-to-launch-game-error/7239384 They just immediatly fail to launch - same error message Ever single time I have got back to the same error message and process. I want to play this game, I really do. I want to play it with friends becuase THAT is fun. I have tried and failed to find a way to submit a new case on the EA Help page - so unless thats either gone the way of the dodo - or the AI Overlords - a link to that would be prime. If anyone has any other suggestions, thoughts or rites to elder gods - that I havent already tried - that doesnt involve going to a 5 finger discount site to just play the **bleep** game - I'm waiting in a pit of my own dispair.
Traversal stutter appears CPU-bound during streaming events
Hi Motive team, Traversal stutter during area transitions is still consistently reproducible. The game otherwise maintains high and stable FPS, but frametime spikes occur when moving between sections of the Ishimura. Based on testing, this does not appear to be GPU-limited. Average framerate remains high, and the issue persists on fast SSD/NVMe storage. The behavior feels more CPU-bound during streaming events, as if workload spikes occur when new assets are loaded. Interestingly, reducing storage throughput (via a community workaround) lessens the severity of the spikes, which suggests the issue may be related to how aggressively assets are streamed and processed rather than raw hardware limits. I understand that large engine-level changes may not be feasible at this stage. However, if there are any adjustments that could smooth CPU workload during traversal (such as streaming pacing or buffering changes), even partial mitigation would significantly improve smoothness. Dead Space Remake is otherwise an outstanding experience, and this remains one of the only technical issues affecting immersion. Thank you for your time.Dead Space Remake: DLSS 3.5/4.5 + FSR Update with Frame Generation
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.
Frozen game bug
So I was playing impossible mode and I was a few hours into the game, and then out of no where I enter the shop and my game is just not letting me interact with any of the controls. No matter what I do, the game does not want to budge and let me move and interact with it anymore. I am only allowed to click into the menu to pause the game and do anything I want in the menu section, but cannot actually PLAY the game. I don’t want to restart this all over again because of some bug that won’t let me do anything at all and continue. I’ve tried pressing circle on my controller (PS5 controller,) and messing around with the controls, and testing my internet and I’ve tried searching for videos or anything to fix this but I guess maybe I’m the only who’s had this bug??? my character is still doing his little movements while he looks at the shop, and there’s lights flickering in the background, but I cannot interact and control my game any longer. If anyone knows or thinks of a possible solution please help! I’m deep into the game and don’t want to restart all over again. Please help EA or anyone else! (P.S. I did not create a save in the past 4 hours because I wanted to save once I was leaving the ship around chapter 10-11, thank you.)
Cannot get DS3 to launch (STEAM)
I have tried fresh installs of EA app and DS3, my accounts are linked, I have tried running compatibility modes for win 7 and 8, running as admin, clearing caches, verifying integrity of game cache, restarting my pc multiple times, disabling both steam and EA app overlays. I do not understand what is going wrong. I launch the game, it says "preparing game" in the EA app, screen goes black with cursor loading wheel, then it closes and EA says "failed to start the game." Please help.
error: Invalid license !?!
Hello, I'm writing my third letter, no one is answering me or fixing the problem . On February 4th I bought the game Dead Space 3 from EA through my account: danko2142 Order date: 04/02/26 Order number: 1005662992512 The game was downloaded, but when I wanted to start it, it did not start, a window appeared with the following error: Invalid license. Reason code=Missing DLL d3dx9_43.dll Error 0x000000c1 Please help me solve the problem!
Deadspace 3 won't activate?
I don't know why this game even needed re-activation, it was already installed and working. I haven't been able to activate it for a long time, so this isn't going to fix itself. I bought this game on EA Origin back when it came out, and it's not fair that I can no longer play the game I paid for, because of unnecessary product activation schemes. I mean, what more should they need? I'm signing into my EA account with the EA APP client. Anybody else having this problem, or found a solution? This is all I get (screenshot)
Potential fix for your (PC) controller not working in Dead Space (2023)/Remake
I have a Keychron K2 HE keyboard that causes problems in a handful of games (Dead Space (2023)/Remake and Sekiro are the ones that I know of so far), where this keyboard is recognised as the primary gaming controller and renders my Xbox wireless controller completely unusable in these games. No input from my Xbox controller registers in these games whatsoever - with or without Steam Input enabled - unless I unplug the keyboard, which is far from ideal, so I wanted a better solution. After a lot of research, I found the best solution for me was to use "HID hide" (https://github.com/nefarius/HidHide) to hide my Keychron Keyboard from the affected games. It was very simple to implement the fix, and here are the steps required: -Download HID Hide -Install it and reboot when prompted -After the reboot, open the newly-installed "HID Hide Configuration Client" -Go to the "Devices" tab and find your Keychron K2 HE (or similar device causing the issue) -Click on the device and tick the "Enable device hiding" box -Unplug the device and replug the device -Load your game and test it If your problem was caused by the same issue mine was, this will work. If it doesn't work, your problem may be caused by something else. Thanks to "nefarius" for creating and sharing "HID Hide"! Additional info: "HID Hide" runs as a Windows service in the background, and, upon installation, is set to start automatically, so after you have configured it, you don't have to revisit it unless you change devices or reinstall Windows. I think the reason the Keychron K2 HE is recognised by Windows 11 as a gaming controller is because it can be confirgured as a "controller" in the keyboard's management software. It's a pretty unique feature which I'd never come across before and therefore never experienced loss of controller functionality due to this specific issue.
Dead Space Deluxe Edition Upgrade
Hello, As a long-time customer, I feel somewhat cheated by EA. Specifically, when you want to buy Dead Space during a sale, you pay €9 for the base game and €10.50 for the Deluxe Edition. I received the standard version as a gift a year ago and would like to have the content of the Deluxe Edition, but if I want to buy it during a sale, I have to pay €10 because it's not discounted. I find it disgusting that new customers are given so much preferential treatment.
Dead space 2 activation code limit reached
I know there's a forum post already set-up for this but I haven't gotten any help from submitting tickets. I purchased it in 2018 and would like to play the game I paid for. If there's a specific ticket for just dead space 2 or a specific channel I haven't been down id like to know about it. Any help would be awesome. Thank you.Dead Space 2 Remake
So EA decided to say no to a Dead Space 2 remake because the Dead Space 1 remake didn’t sell as well as they wanted. What irritates me is Dead Space 1 remake didn’t sell as well as it should have because EA barely marketed the game. A lot of people didn’t even know it was being made or even came out. Had EA actually put some effort into marketing it and caring about it, I guarantee it would have sold much better. There is still a huge market for Dead Space. If there wasn’t, then games like Resident Evil wouldn’t sell as well as they do. And Dead Space 1 remake continues to sell as we speak because people are buying it used, downloading it, etc. EA isn’t tracking it anymore, so to them, no one is playing it. I don’t understand having control over a beloved IP and caring so little about it. Dead Space 2 is great, but it absolutely could use the remake treatment. If for no other reason, than to help the game live on and be able to be played for a long time to come on newer systems. And now that Dead Space 1 remake has been out for a few years and has been played, a Dead Space 2 remake would sell much better because people are actually aware of its existance. EA is their own worst enemy, I swear. They’ll never be a good company. The only hope is the recent management changes and Glenn Scholfield trying to talk to them about doing another Dead Space. Just makes me sick when companies forget about or barely do anything with good IPs, like Sony with Bloodborne. I get that the gaming industry is a business but you’ve got to have some connection to gaming; to your consumers. You’re leaving money on the table, EA. Do better.
Dead Space remake: Lack of PC support and fixes, no Dualsense support
I originally played Dead Space remake at my friend's on his PS5 without a single issue, and now bought it on PC and stuck with a game-breaking bug that prevents Chapter 10 from ever starting. That’s it — I’m just done? I’m supposed to accept that I can’t finish the game when I’m literally right next to the ending? People keep suggesting “just reload a save from before Chapter 9 and replay it,” but unless you somehow kept an older save from Chapter 8, how were you supposed to know this glitch even exists? No regular player is going to predict something like this until it happens — and by then it’s already too late to fix without replaying hours of content. It’s unbelievable that a full-price game can simply refuse to let you finish it. And what makes it even more frustrating is that EA clearly doesn’t care about the legacy of their own games. This issue has been known for three years and still hasn’t been touched. They also still haven’t added DualSense support on PC, something that should’ve been included from day one (but u did it for more popular ones like BF6). Fans buy these controllers expecting to get the full feature set on PC — only to find out that NONE of it works in this game. Even a regular controller rumble doesn't work with Dualsense on PC! Just wow. But the lack of care doesn’t stop at their games — it extends to us, the customers who actually buy them. We get no answers, no reactions, not even basic acknowledgement from official support or on their forums FOR 3 YEARS SINCE RELEASE: Re: Dualsense feature - Not supported on PC | EA Forums - 7166440 https://forums.ea.com/discussions/dead-space-franchise-discussion-en/ps5-controller-not-working-with-dead-space-through-the-ea-app-on-pc-windows-11/7164635 Re: Dualsense feature - Not supported on PC | EA Forums - 7166448 Any update on this issue?? I’m done. I’m not buying another game from this company ever again.
A serious bug! A critical item is missing!
The infected are displaying incorrectly, causing them to become invisible, and most are unable to attack the protagonist. Also, dropped items disappear instantly when the interact button is pressed. I tolerated these bugs until I reached Chapter 10. Suddenly, a crucial item for advancing the main quest also disappeared!!! I need batteries to open doors, but I can't find any batteries in their locations!!! (The bugs of missing infected and dropped items continuing to occur) I searched for related issues and discovered that this bug has existed for several years and hasn't been fixed! And I'm using an SSD, yet I still encountered this problem. Reloading save files and restarting the game didn't work; these problems reappear after a while. I also tried verifying file integrity on Steam, but that didn't work either. Recreating all game files or reinstalling the game (shaders, saves, etc.) didn't work either, or the problems still reappear later. Reinstalling Windows and hardware drivers didn't work either!!! It's clearly a problem with the game's scripts!!! I am extremely angry because I paid for the game, but it's riddled with serious bugs and unplayable. The game is now just a spacewalk observation video. EA, I implore you to fix this problem and give us players a belated response, as this issue has existed for several years.For the love of god, fix Chapter 9 of Dead Space (2023)
I played this game once on PS5 with no problems, and now I find I'm stuck with a game-breaking bug that causes Chapter 10 to never start. I guess I'm just done playing now? So close to the end? Some have mentioned loading a save from before Chapter 9 and replaying Ch. 9 again. But unless you just so happened to not overwite a save feom Ch. 8, you would have to KNOW that this glitch exists and might affect you. Something that the average player will never know until they have discovered the problem and it's already too late to remedy it. Utterly ridiculous that a game can be sold for full retail price and simply refuse to be played to the end. This series has become one of my favorites, and I am fully aware that it deserves better support than what it's been given. Shame on your lack of care and proper quality assurance as a company. How can any one trust your games if you can't even be bothered to make sure we get to have the full experience of said games?
Broken Menus
The dead space remake has this maddening issue with the main menu (and potentially more menus) where I get 100+ FPS and sub 100% GPU/CPU utilization but suffer immensely unresponsive menus, to the point where I can barely click options. In most cases it takes 10+ clicks to get a response in game. No overlays but the standard nVidia experience overlay (and when thats brought up the mouse is extremely slow and unresponsive in that as well. Drivers are updated, game files have been verified, no other game is causing any issue as far as I'm aware, is there any fix for this issue or has anyone even had a similar problem
