    I have this exact problem since i bought the game on windows 8
    I spoke in chat with support and they told me that this game isn't supported on windows 8, so i thought to install windows 7 and try to launch, but it seems the same problem occurse there too.
    I tried to unplug all peripheral devices, but it didn't help
    My video drivers and directs updated
    Video card: GTX 560Ti
    Windows 8 64 bit
     
    update:
    found page with solutions, one of them helped me
     
    go to Start Menu>Control Panel>System and Maintenance>System>[Left Panel]Device Manager>Human Interface Devices [HID] and disable the HID compliant game controller
     
    Hope it helps you too

So I picked this up today, started playing, started co-op, the game crashed at the third cutscene, so rejoin, get past the 4th or 5th cutscene then in the middle of the game, it crashes again. The install is brand new with no corrupt files.

Here are my specs

Windows 8 Profession 64-Bit

Intel Core i5-3570

EVGA GTX 660 Superclocked

Samsung 128GB SSD

Seagate Barracuda 1TB (where this game is installed)

8GB 1600MHz Corsair Vengeance RAM

    Some things to try if the post marked as solution does not help you:

    • Run Windows Update and install all available Important Updates.
    • Install most recent non-beta video drivers.
    • Set the game to run in compatibility mode and as administrator. Right click the executable and click properties and the Compatibility tab to find these options. The path for the executable in a default install is this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dead Space 3\deadspace3.exe

      I just purchased the first Dead space and was having this issue, "run as administrator" worked like a champ!  Thank You for your knowledgeable assistance.  It is running through GeForce Experience without a single hiccup. Thanks Again!
