Broken achievements
Hey EA, It’s really frustrating that 4 achievements in Dead Space 3 are currently impossible to unlock: Survivalist, Aren’t You Thankful?, Pure Lunacy (DLC), and Supercharger (DLC). It feels like we’re being punished for playing your game properly. Please either fix these achievements so they can actually be earned, or just remove them. Leaving them broken like this is unfair and only hurts the player community. We’ve been enjoying your games for years, but stuff like this makes it feel like you don’t care about the players. Thanks for looking into it.
Unable to install Dead Space 3
What purpose does the forum or any "support" entity of EA even serve? In the information age, you cant get prompt responses on game-specific forums here, and of all the threads I have read in this area, the community managers basically say "there is nothing we can do." Why even run the things if you are either hamstrung into being unable to do anything, or are fundamentally unwilling to provide any help? (CM EA_Lanna: Edited to update thread title to focus question succinctly.)
Unable to launch game Game will not run in a virtual environment
I have a microsoft surface book 2 I am trying to launch Dead Space 3 on but am receiving an error "This game will not run in a virtual environment". Most surface devices you are not able to disable virtualization extensions. I am confused though because I also have a desktop running with vt-d enabled and it launches the game just fine. I've gone through a gauntlet of items turning windows features on and off trying to figure out how to get past this error but to no avail. Am I missing something about Microsoft surface devices that causes them to get flagged in error? I just don't understand why this isn't working.Unable to launch game "Game will not run in a virtual environment"

[Xbox One] Unable To Claim Dead Space 3 Online Pass From The In Game Store
So recently i wanted to play for the first time Dead Space 3 with my friend, and noticed that i need an add-on to be able to play Co-op with him, I checked the Xbox store and that specific content the isn't available same with Microsoft store, tried to access it from the menu of the game "downloadable content" and its giving me this specific message "Cannot retrieve information from the Xbox LIVE Marketplace. Please check your connection and try again." but noticed that my friend has access to this option and had no issues claiming the content (Online pass). Thanks in advance.
DS3. Why is the game telling me that Hardcore and Survival modes are completed?
Hi! I’ve now completed both modes, but the game was telling me they were completed even before that. And I never received the achievements for them. The game shows me a ticker with my friend’s kill statistics. Am I correct in understanding that this data is stored on a remote server, just like the data about completing various modes? Is there any way to reset it?" THXDead Space 3 Achievements Bugged Post 2024 Patch
Hello, I would like to report along with MANY other players that the following achievements for Dead Space 3 do not unlock properly: Survivalist Supercharger Aren't You Thankful? The only reason I have "Aren't You Thankful?" is because I completed it before 2024. I cannot unlock Survivalist despite completing the entire main campaign on Pure Survival mode as shown in the screenshot attached. Supercharger does not unlock despite many attempts which were well under the 90 second limit to charge the reactor in the DLC. Please fix this as there are many players such as myself who would like to enjoy this game properly. You have removed the achievement for collecting all achievements, but then this bugged the entire game. Please implement another patch soon or simply remove these bugged achievements from the list. If you can remove one achievement, you do not need the original devs to remove the others. Thank you.
Continuation of Dead Space.
I’ve gone through the entire Dead Space universe and I have to say: the game made a huge impression on me! In my opinion, the main downside is that the original story remains unfinished. And why is there still no sequel? That’s truly surprising! The theme of spaceships and жуткие monsters — as we can see from the recently released The Callisto Protocol — is still at its peak and more in demand than ever. The Dead Space universe deserves a new chapter: it needs a breath of fresh air. Here are a few ideas for a sequel: • Playing as a colonist on Eudora 7 (or Eden 7). Show life on the station before the disaster: daily routines, mundane tasks, and the first alarming signs of a threat. This would add depth to the world and amplify the impact of the subsequent events. • The story of an Ishimura crew member. Not the main hero, but an ordinary technician or medic. Through the eyes of a regular crewmember, you could show the sheer scale of the ship and the growing panic from the inside. • Moving away from the main storyline. For example, the story of a colony that accidentally discovers an ancient Marker and tries to study it without understanding the consequences. • A new scenario with an unexpected setup. A ship heading to a colony accidentally stumbles upon a drifting capsule containing a necromorph. The crew decides to bring the find onboard for research — and triggers a chain of horrifying events. What else should be improved in a new installment: • Larger‑scale locations. The Ishimura is a magnificent ship, but it feels a bit cramped for a long‑distance space mission. Modern people would likely experience depression and claustrophobia long before reaching their destination. • More diverse environments. Add: • parks or green zones onboard (artificial ecosystems to support the crew’s psychological well‑being); • residential sectors with multi‑storey buildings, shops, and cafes — to really feel like part of a living world; • an extensive metro or monorail system for moving between sectors of a massive ship/station. This would make the world feel more realistic and immersive. Overall, the Dead Space universe is grand and vast — the Ishimura alone is worth a lot! But its potential is far from being fully realised. I’m really looking forward to a sequel and hope the developers will listen to the fans’ wishes — then the new installment could become a true masterpiece of cosmic horror sci‑fi.

Hello, I'm writing to inform you along with many others on Steam that 4 achievements in Dead Space 3 are currently impossible to unlock. The achievements are listed as the following: Survivalist, Aren't You Thankful?, Pure Lunacy (DLC), and Supercharger (DLC) I enjoy replaying my games and getting the most out of them for achievements and when they are broken it can remove the thrill of the game. Please either fix these achievements so they can be earned legitimately or just remove them. I understand this became an issue when you removed the achievement for earning all achievements for Dead Space 3 titled "Brave New World." This does not need the original dev team to be able to fix. Please also direct my message to EA_Shepard or any other community manager who is in charge and I'd be happy to explain more of this issue directly to them. Thank you and I appreciate you looking into this as I know MANY other Steam accounts are continuing to report this both on EA and within Steam.
