bought dead space on steam PC. Tried multiple times to launch the game, and it does not launch. I get no crash report, no error window, it simply doesn't launch. I've checked the system requirements and my laptop exceeds them, i have almost 10gb free storage space, my hard drive is solid state drive as recommended. i'm not sure what to try next, as i've already completely uninstalled, rebooted, and reinstalled both steam and dead space and still getting the same error.

I have the exact same issue, I own the game on the EA App and it won't launch, tried repairing, restarting, nada.No error message either.

See my topic herehttps://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Dead-Space-remake-crashing-at-launch-PC/td-p/13140751you can donwload Visual studio and windows debugger to check error code in crash dumpMay be in cause :Msi afterburner/riva turnerNvidia overlayAntivirus

same problem here on origin. deadpspace.exe appears 2 secs and then disappears.

Same issue, cannot launch dead space, but with the EA app instead of steam. Worked earlier today. No crash, nothing in event viewer, seemingly no app log I can find. Windows 11, current with OS updates, and latest nvidia driver.

@GhostMotley Check event viewer and see if you can find any info there

We are unable to connect to EA servers to activate Dead Space EA Play Pro Edition on this computer using your account. Please try again later.

Same issue. Reinstalled 4 times and tried 2 different SSDs and an HDD as well both the steam and ea app versions. Game crashes after 1-5 seconds of seeing the building shaders screen, sometimes hard crashing my entire pc as well. On the ea app I can’t even try to launch it because it tell me it can’t connect to ea servers to activate the game.

I’m on an i7-13700k, RTX 3080ti, 32gb ram, windows 11. EA Help on twitter basically told me to * off and wait to see if a fix becomes available lol
excruciatingly frustrating. Especially considering how everywhere I go people are hyping up it up…

I have the exact same problem. Windows 11. Nothing shows up in task manager at all and nothing in the system event viewer. This is when trying to launch the game from EA Launcher.
