max compatible resolution is 1680x1050 60Hz

competition resolved this problem just run the game from their platform first time automatically will corrects errors when verify direct x and VC

is a little lacking in libraries when it comes to 1080p resolution for older games

now i can launch dead space 2 using the resolution 1920x1080

Feeling pretty dumb but I don't quite know what you mean by this.

Having issues playing this game on a rig with a RTX 3080 and an Processor 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700, 2100 Mhz, 12 Core(s), 20 Logical Processor(s).

I have an older rig with a Ryzen 7 3070 and a GTX 1650 and the game works on that.

I would rather be able to play the game on my newer/main PC but I am at a loss and have tried everything I have read online with no luck.

It is really annoying as Dead Space and Dead Space 3 boot and play fine just not 2.

Any assistance on this would be appreciated.

The game loads to a black screen with the mouse showing the hour glass for about 5 second's then the game closes automatically and returns to the desktop.

There are many workarounds to fix issues on newer hardware.
