    Heya everyone,

    if you were affected by the "Invalid license. Reason code = Invalid Cipher (0x0006)" issue, can you please check the game in Origin again? A small patch should download and gameplay should now work again.

    If there are still issues afterwards, please uninstall the game completely, redownload it and then reinstall the game again. 

    Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Nils

This is actually a problem with Dead Space but your drop down list wouldn't let me select it 🙂 . Anyways, so I got Dead Space today (better late than never) and when playing I have a problem with the cursor: The arrow from the mouse appears as a seperate icon so I have two moving around and they don't move as one, the speed of the movement of the arrow dictates the amount of movement of the cursor however only the cursor is actually able to click on the icons in the menu, turning it into a rather frustrating game of "How close can I get the actual cursor to where I want to?" I can't find any other instances of this happening so I'd like some advice on how to deal with this irritating bit of BS. Many thanks😕mileytongue:

    I had the same problem. 

    Dead Space worked fine under Windows XP but when I upgraded to Windows 8.1 I had the same problem you describe.

    I did fix it - or rather Microsoft fixed it

    - See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2907016

    "Mouse input in some games is incorrectly scaled on high-DPI devices"

     

    In short bring up the Compatibility tab in the DeadSpace.Exe properties box

    Check the "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings"

    Click the "Apply" button

    Hope it works for you!
