Dead Space.exe has stopped working
I know there are bunch of topics there about that . But you can't understand my headache and how much I searched for a solution . NONE of them worked . I tried to set in "appdata/local/Electronic A...

I don't think this is the problem here . I mean it's not my system since Steam version is working .
If something is the problem, it is Origin since I tried all the possible solutions and Windows Update is not the one because my Windows is already Updated and I use IDEs so I have the whole framework of C#, C++/C .
Anyway, I'm angry with EA a little bit to be honest but I'll play it on Steam . You won't be distracted by me anymore, thank you .
If you were having the same issue I am having where dead space2.exe would crash at launch after a short period of black screen (I'm under steam), I rectified the problem by doing the following...
Windows 7
Click start button
Type msconfig in run and press enter
Click boot

Reduce the number of processors and reboot. I'm running dual xeon hexacore processors with hyperthreading and I had to drop it to 16 logical processors from 24 (so I actually have 12 physical cores and dropped it to 8).
Reboot computer and play.
You may have to drop to a lower number of processors.
To reverse to change go back into msconfig and reverse the changes, but also select 'normal boot' again on the general tab, then reboot...
Why you need to deactivate processors? Who knows...

That's some fairly extreme hardware so will be applicable to a relatively small proportion of our players but may be useful in between sessions of designing nuclear reactor cores or visualizing undersea mineral deposits!
Thanks 🙂

You say that, but it's a fairly common problem with deadspace 1 and 2 apparently. I'm not the only one that has exhausted all other online fixes to no avail. I came across this fix because my last computer had eight cores and deadspace ran fine, but my current computer has twelve cores and I need to make it eight to run Deadspace 1 and 2...
No other games in my collection have this problem... Both older and newer games.
