Solved

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 forward to playing it after work today, but looks like I'll be playing more Planetside 2 instead.

    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.

    I've done everything EA listed and I still get a black screen freeze and have to hard reset my pc. The freeze is random.. Only made it to the just after the suicide guy lights off grenades... after I fall down in the sewer area I get constant random freezes. Made it as far as the first Mech table.. had to watch the same video 150 times.. will someone please help. I dont use any controllers all drivers are updated and I have done every fix listed throughout google search.

    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.
