Dead Space 3 not launching with EA App

I just had to quickly post a reply to this message. (Although I was having a problem launching Dead Space 3, but I don't think it matters because it seems there is some EA App glitch ...)

I've recently come back to this game and discovered I had to uninstall Origin then install EA App. But Dead Space 3 DID NOT LAUNCH - seemed to go into a loop at launch time but just sits there looking stupid.

I am still on Windows 7 (64 bit) and this is what worked for me:

- Exit EA App
- Windows Task Manager > end processes for EA App (including EA background services)
- click Start > Run > %localappdata%, and delete folders "EA Games" and "EADesktop"
- Go to EA App executable > C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\EA Desktop\EALauncher.exe
- Right-click EALauncher.exe and Run as Administrator (DO NOT LAUNCH DS3 from within EA App)
- Go to Dead Space 3 executable > E:\EA Games\Dead Space 3\deadspace3.exe
- Right-click deadspace3.exe and Run as Administrator
- EA App then pops up a message that says "This game requires permissions" (this is about granting access to launch the game)
- Click OK and launch game!!!

This worked for me!!
