Dead Space 2 Crash to Desktop on Startup

You can't post fles from your desktop directly to the forum.

If the files are text and not too large, you can copy their content and paste them in a forum post. Otherwise, you might want to open a dropbox account (or something similar), copy your files to the public folder of your dropbox account and paste the public link to your files on the forum.

Thanks for the idea, application crash log:

Apologies, I accidentally marked this as solved, have tried multiple driver versions, these were downloaded from Windows update, however have also tried latest drivers from Nvidia. CPU isn't overclocked (in fact it's a brand new i7). Thanks!

Many thanks for your help. I've already tried all of these solutions.

I looked at your dxdiag.txt file again, and, I see that you have a Saitek X52 Pro Flight Controller. Try unplugging this controller and start the game again.

I am having this same issue. I've tried unplugging my controllers (keep in mind, I'd prefer to play this game WITH a controller, so that'd be a bull* work around anyway). My specs are as follows:

Intel Xeon V3 14 core 2.7 GHZ

R9 295x2 w/ 14.12 Omega Driver installed

64 GB of 2333K DDR4 RAM

PCI-e SSD

Rampage V Extreme (currently not overclocking)

I monitor my computer's heat. The front display panel on my tower displays the current CPU temp, and I run real temp to monitor the temperature when I play new, more demanding games.

I have no idea why this game won't launch, but it's very frustrating. I read somewhere that this game doesn't understand more than 4 cores, and someone was able to get it running by having the bios deactive some of their cores. I did not want to try that workaround.

Any other thoughts?

I have Xeon 14 core too and game crashes. 

I disabled 6 cores and game runs fine on 8 cores without Hyper-threading.

And i know it is a 2 year old thread ;D

Thanks man ! I had the same problem and I have tried every thing . My CPU is also a XEON-series with 24 Cores . I only keep 8 of them active and now it is working without problem . Thanks again
