9 hours into the game went to load it ut up before going to work and I get dead space 3 has stopped working. Tried loading from continue story and the other option both no joy can't even load from a chapter. Checked program integrity and it was intact. Windows 7 64 bit no controller keyboard and mouse only latest Nvidia drivers sound card drivers up to date. Just made it to the aft part of the ship to check on the shuttle when I shut it down last night. Oh well back to far cry 3.

Your a legend! :D
Worked straighty away after disabling HID compliant game controller!
This needs to be broadcast more as there are still plenty of people who cant even access the game they paid for.
Thanks again for taking the time to look through the forum and post this solution. much appreciated.

I agree with 'woodynozz' you are a LEGEND as in someone who should be wrote down in the history books not a thigh 😕mileylol:
But seriously I have been searching around for a solution for this for like 4-5 days now while my smug friend sits there on skype telling me how amazing the game is so this should be shared everywhere so other people can see.
And this fix does work on windows 7 64 bit aswell as that is what I am using if anyone is wondering!
Thanks again!!! 😕mileyvery-happy:

Hello,
You can try to do this:
Right click on your game shortcut -> properties, select run as administrator and run with Windows XP compatiblity. Most importantly change your game to run in windowed mode from the in-game menu.
Is this working ?

Same issue, and running as administrator does not work. Mine loads up black screen pops up then minimizes, no error though like the opening poster. I try to maximaize again, still black screen, hear music, but then minimizes again.

The issue is the Origin in game overlay, If you turn that off via Origin->Application settings->In game, you should be able to play but you you won't be able to play co-op, and I don't know how to fix that
