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.

You have to unplug your gamecontrollers like gamepads or joysticks. I removed my 3dconnexion Space Pilot Pro and after that the game works fine.

  Seriously???? I play a lot of titles like this (including both previous DS games), but my main hobby is flight sims. I've got FIVE controllers plugged in, and there's NO WAY I'm doing a complete re-wire job on my PC to play.

  I have no controllers installed, even if i shut down everything i still get the .exe crash, I can't help but think if I could launch the game directly it would be fine, bloody Origin is just a constant headache, so i've bought a game that I can't even play... really??

Hi there

Try repairing the install of your game

To use Repair Install for your game:
Go to My Games in Origin
Right-click the game image
Select "Repair Install"
Also as put before, unplug anything that you dont need, steering wheel, joystick, etc as this can cause issues.

Hope this helps
