DEAD SPACE 2 - failed to launch game

Hello,

 I just downloaded the game, and every time I try to launch it I get an error message that says:

 'failed to launch game' an error on our end caused the launch to fail. try again a little later. What should I

 do?

It has already been showing me the same message for 3 days since installation.

    Hey Shokal-butcher​

    Sorry to hear that there's been difficulty launching the game.

    If you haven't already, please try the troubleshooting steps below to see if you're able to launch Dead Space 2 then: 

    • Clear the EA App's cache
    • Disable in-game overlays
    • End EA-related tasks in Task Manager 
    • Close all potentially conflicting background applications 
    • Add Dead Space 2 and EA-related .exe files as exceptions to anti-virus software and Windows Defender 
    • Check if your graphic drivers are all up to date


    We have a few more workarounds here: Failed to Launch Game: An Error on Our End, so please take a look at the accepted solution for more information. Let us know how it goes, thanks!
