Bought the game, downloaded it, click play and... crash, crash, crash.

Pretty much what the title says. I click play, screen goes black for a few seconds, then acts like a program minimizes and I have a lovely "Deadspace 3 has stopped working" dialog. Was looking forwar...

    Solved it, it was a game controller. Unplug/remove those devices, and any in Device manager, and see if that works. I had a vJoy driver for a VT Controller (for playing Hawken with) installed and that was the culprit.

It appears that using sound output to my Logitech G35 causes Dead Space 3 to crash within just a few seconds of attempting to load.

Mind you, I've only swapped between Speaker output to my G35 to check that this behavior is consistent.  It is.  Definitively. 

Some additional input:

Logitech G35 drivers updated to most recent (non-beta)

nVidia drivers 313.96 (beta drivers, mind you)

Running Windows 8, but launching from Origin manually

If you need additional specs, I can provide them, but I work QA for a large company, and am confident this has something to do directly with the Logitech G35 device and not any other additional conflicts (except for possibly Windows 8).

Let me know what else you may need to help diagnose this issue.. and offer me a job, if there's one open?  😉  lol

    Could someone at least please confirm that they see this is an issue?  I'm patient regarding bug fixes, but it would be nice to at least have an affirmation that I don't need to continue doing more than I already have extensively tested.

    The symptoms are as follows:

    Set audio output to Logitech G35 (with Logitech software running), Dead Space 3 crashes instantly

    Shutdown Logitech software, reconnect device, Dead Space 3 crashes instantly

    Swap output to ANY other sound output, Dead Space 3 is fine.
