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.

  Had my Saitek X-52 pro plugged in, game seems to hate it for some reason. Unplugging fixed it.

  This was essentially the solution for me too but with a minor twist.
  There was a device I couldn't disable / remove called a Jumi Joystick. I found out it was for Jumi Controller, a virtual driver for controlling your PC with your iPod. Uninstalling the software (annoyingly the uninstall program is in the program's folder and not in Control Panel either) solved this issue. I can also now run with some other changes I'd previously made reverted; all compatibility options are now disabled for deadspace3.exe, the process's CPU affinity is set to all processors (default), and I now have all realtime virus protection enabled.
  Thanks for that bobbobertonne and hopefully this helps anyone with an unremovable device or potentially some virtual driver running they've forgotten about.
