[PC] Dead Space Remake Unresponsive Controls!!!

I got the Dead Space Remake, but the game is unplayable on PC. The keyboard as well as the mouse are not responsive. Its a terrible experience. I have to press a key 5 or six times even to navigate at the menu!!! Tried to reinstall and clear app cashe, but nothing worked... ☹️

First time I have such a bad experience as the PC I am using is a capable 7800X3d/ RTX4090..

    @hkoim_x Unresponsive controls rarely have anything to do with the specs you listed. Having an RTX4090 has no actual bearing on game controls themselves. That is more related to a bad update, install file, corrupted profile or the PC isn't registering correctly if you are using a controller or keyboard.

    Which platform are you playing the game through currently that has the issue?

    What steps have you performed to try to get the game to work?

    Hy @EA_Shepard !

    Its windows 11 PRO.. Latest updates (23H2)!

    I have reinstalled the game.. Didn't work.

    I tried with both Keyboard mouse as well will a Xbox Controller. Nothing works ☹️

    In all the other games, everything works as expected!

    Any Ideas?

  • I have the same issue and did basically the same too. The game runs smoothly but the controls are unresponsive using keyboard, mouse or xbox series controller. I have launched the game through Xbox/ PC game pass, EA app or Nvidia Geforce experience. I also tried to repair the game through the EA app but nothing.

    I use the EA app since a couple of months now and I tried to run dead space with this launcher only.

    For the record...At my PC I used to have the Origin app. I uninstalled it and then installed the EA app.

    @o0Yoshino0o I have it on the Xbox App using Game Pass so I'm testing it now. Do you have the Game/Xbox app/EA app all installed on the same drive? I ask because of the file locations directory is the same for all of the settings files.

    I have also unplugged everything other than mouse and keyboard and using a wired Xbox Series X controller to play. One thing I did notice is that the controller needs to be on before I launch the game or app or I get an error.

  • I've done everything exactly as you mentioned and it worked! :D Thank you so much, so excited to play again this jewel with better graphics
