Dead Space 3 Not Launching - Black Screen Issue

Hello everyone,

I'm experiencing an issue with Dead Space 3 on Steam. The game was working fine initially, but now it won't launch properly. When I try to start the game, the EA App opens first, followed by a black screen with a Dead Space 3 application. After a while, the game closes without any error message.

Here's what I've tried so far:
1. Verified game files on Steam.
2. Repaired the EA App.
3. Updated my graphics drivers.
4. Ran both Steam and EA App as administrator.
5. Deleted and regulated the configuration file located at `C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\EA Games\Dead Space 3\system.txt`.
6. Reinstalled the game.
7. Tried running the game in compatibility mode.
8. Added launch options `-novid -noborder -windowed`.

Despite all these steps, the issue persists. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

    Dead Space 3 cannot be opened. No matter whether it is opened using Steam or the EA program, it will not work. The game will close itself immediately. I have tried various solutions on the Internet, but I have not gotten any improvement. Not even any error information. No, it disappears without even showing up on the screen when I turn it on.

    Hey @Eironeia32  

    I wanted to follow up on this thread to see if you're still experiencing issues with the game. If you need any further assistance, Can you attach a DxDiag?


    Cheers!
