Dead Space 3 missing DLL Error

Hi Everybody,

I am having a problem launching Dead Space 3

After running the .exe in compatibility mode (Win XP SP2)

It says "Missing required file libeay32.dll"

What should I do? I want to try to avoid redownloading the game as it would take forever!:catvery-happy:

Any ideas?

  • I am having this same issue. Just out of nowhere, these files end up missing. I was also missing sslwy32.dll file and got that fixed. Origin repair game program does not fix this problem either. Also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game and this did not work either. I still had the same issues as before. EA, Please fix this. I have sent in ampile tickets and I am still not receiving any news on what to do. Its now been over a month of me sending you guys messages twice a week. This is getting old. I paid to play this game, not give you guys free money and not fix this. I'm sorry for being rude, yet I still don't hear anything from you.

    Right click the game in Origin and then Repair Game.

    It is never advised to download DLL files from the 'net.
