    @il_mase2000 I had a similar problem where the first loading screen would come up and than I would get a black screen and had to force close the game. The problem seems to be with ultrawide resolution monitors. I ran the game on my 2k monitor and it loaded up just fine.

  • @EA_Illium looking some video on youtube seems that the problem is the incompatibility with all video cards with only 2gb vram.this is sad because a lot of people have this type of video cards with dx12 support like mine.i have a gtx 960 2gb dx12 support.please expand the range of video cards that can play this amazing game 🙏🏻

    @il_mase2000 According to this post, you are under the minimum requirements to run this game, so even if you got past the initial loading screen, you will not have a great gaming experience... Sorry friend

  • Updated to the latest Nvidia driver that was released today (528.49) and still no change.  It attempts to create shaders and then fails and crashes to desktop with no error message.  Updates would be splendid.

    Hi @crypthammer88 @AlexiosH @il_mase2000 Thanks for providing this information!

    If everyone has the latest System and GPU updates can you try to repair Dead Spaces VC++ files (install location > Dead Space > _installer > vc > vc2015 > reddist > run both files), then try to put your device in a Clean Boot then launch the game? 

  • Hello, I don't really know how to "Fix" the game like you have said  (install location > Dead Space > _installer > vc > vc2015 > reddist > run both files), do you maybe have a tutorial or can explain how to do that? Thank you

  • Running the Dead Space VC++ files did nothing because I received an error message each time informing that a product was already installed.  Nonetheless, I can confirm that the issue is with Razer Cortex, at least for me.  I went through a clean boot, and then re-enabled software one by one, and it was Razer Cortex specifically that interferes with Dead Space.  I can get the game to run to the main menu and start into the campaign, although I haven't played at all yet.  I assume it will play fine now.  It's probably worth digging into the relationship between Dead Space and Razer Cortex.  I tried running Dead Space with Razer Cortex running, but with the game booster disabled, but it still didn't run past the initial warning screen.  Glad it's fixed for me.

    TL;DR, for other users out there, try closing your Razer Cortex software and run the game again.  My old Razer Synapse software doesn't interfere with my game, since I have the old Razer Naga 2014 Left Handed edition, and it needs the legacy software to run.  Razer Synapse 3.0 also functions properly with the game, so just close Cortex from the right click menu in the system tray, select "Exit Cortex", and run the game again.  It worked for me.
