Re: Dead Space Repeatedly crashes to desktop

here you go, also, i saw somewhwere that Nvidia overlay can cause a prob and turned that off without success.

thank y.ou

@Nemetoad I appreciate that thank you. So after taking a look, I can see quite a few crashes happening but none are related to the game. However, a lot of them are related to Windows, and other apps for Windows being installed which are a part of the cause.

Some of these I am sure have been done, but what I will suggest is just starting over and going through each program you have for Windows specifically.

• Default your game to the high-performance GPU, AMD Settings | Nvidia Settings | Windows Settings
• Check for Windows and GPU updates - For this one, reinstall the GPU drivers with a fresh install option so it deletes old and installs new
• Install/Repair your VC++ files for the game (Microsoft VC++ Link)
• Update any major software - IE Razor/Windows/Nvidia/Mouse/Keyboard etc
• Run the System File Checker tool 👈 important one here. Repair Windows and your SSD/HDD

Nvidia

• Try the NVIDIA PhysX Legacy System
• Restart the PC.

Delete Windows Temp Files

• First, make sure you close as many programs as you can
• Press the Windows key + R, go into the file explorer
• Type in %temp%, and hit Enter
• Delete everything it allows you to delete
• Reboot the PC

Optional Registry clean-up

• install CCleaner (it's free) from here
• Run Registry cleaner
• Click review selected issues
• Do you want to back up? No
• Click Fix all selected issues

Once these are completed test the game. If they do not work, run through the following

• Put your device in a Clean Boot then launch the game
• Try the Game in different Compatibility settings
• Try Safe Mode with Networking
• Try a new Windows Account
• Remove any over-clocking or undervolt settings or software and check if the issue continues
