EA Staff (Retired)Hey @Fwatwango If you haven't already can you go through the following to see if the game will launch on the PC?
- Set DS3 to run as admin in Compatibility settings
- Run Steam/Origin as Admin
- Allow Steam/Origin and DS3 through any security on the device
- Disable in running overlays, including Origin in-game
- Trying running your device in a Clean Boot
- @EA_Illium I've been struggling to make my game work for the past few days as well, I tried everything you listed aside from the part about disabling Origin in-game overlay and that one did the trick for me! Thank you so much!
- EA_Illium@thanshuhai Glad to hear we are able to get the game working for you!
Hello, I am back after several days, I am sorry for the delayed response, I am very busy with work. I appreciate all the responses. So I have tried out all of the fixes below and I still seem to have the same problem as before.
Steam and Origin wont let me run them as administrators, when I do so I get a message saying I am running them in compatibility mode and they wont launch until I turn it off/uncheck the launch as administrator box. launching dead space as an admin or in compatibility settings does nothing.
I allowed Origin, steam, and Deadspace 3 through my Malwarebytes security, but the game still wont launch. and finally disabling the overlays didn't change anything either.
I tried Running the device in a clean boot but it didn't seem to work either.
I keep reading things that say clean booting your PC is really effective in terms of getting games to work, so I think I am going to try it a few more times, and ill keep you updated on how it goes, but as of now nothing so far has fixed my previous issue.
I appreciate all the Help and suggestions, let me know if you guys figure out anything else.
- EA_Illium@Fwatwango Wanted to confirm if anything has changed?
No, nothing has changed so far, Still trying to figure out what could be causing the issue with launching.
I went into the EA app and clicked settings, clicked the application tab, Scrolled down to In-game overlay and it has an on and off slider that i turned off. This method worked for me, hope it helps you.
