Hello,
I just bought Dead Soace 2 a couple of days ago. When I try to launch it through Origin, I get a program that says:
***
The program you have started requiring that the date checked online before you can run the program the first time.
If the release date has passed, the program will receive a key from the server, unpacked and start.
This should only be done when you first start the program.
Click "Accept" to continue or "Cancel" to cancel the process.***
I click Accept and it goes online, but then suddenly quits and nothing more happens?
I have tried re-installing Dead Space, clearing Origin cache files, launching from the Origin folder directly, but same problem each time!???
Even tried to activate with the activator inside the ORigin Dead Space 2 folder and it says it is activated, but when I try to launch the game the first program I mentioned above starts and quits without launching DS2.
Please help me!
Regards,
Michel
Community ManagerI had no problems at all playing all 3 of the dead space games on my old Windows7 system. Last year I bought a new higher spec pc running Windows 8, and now I can't play ANY of the dead space games. Dead Space 3 gives me some message about "could not initialize blah blah blah" and every webpage I found on the issue advised me to edit my "settings.txt" file. Only one problem - there IS NO settings.txt file in the folder they mention. After hours screwing around with that I gave up in disgust and un-installed dead space 3. Then I installed dead space 2 and that won't bloody run either!!! What the hell?? Tries to go through some stupid launch date check or some * like that, that I've never seen before in any other game, but then fails every time with some meaningless error message. I'm so annoyed now I can't even be bothered installing dead space 1. In fact if they ever release a dead space 4 I probably wont even buy it. EA you need to seriously look at your dead space games and fix these problems under Windows8. Oh yeah, I hate your stupid Origin * as well.
