Potential fix for your (PC) controller not working in Dead Space (2023)/Remake
I have a Keychron K2 HE keyboard that causes problems in a handful of games (Dead Space (2023)/Remake and Sekiro are the ones that I know of so far), where this keyboard is recognised as the primary gaming controller and renders my Xbox wireless controller completely unusable in these games. No input from my Xbox controller registers in these games whatsoever - with or without Steam Input enabled - unless I unplug the keyboard, which is far from ideal, so I wanted a better solution. After a lot of research, I found the best solution for me was to use "HID hide" (https://github.com/nefarius/HidHide) to hide my Keychron Keyboard from the affected games. It was very simple to implement the fix, and here are the steps required: -Download HID Hide -Install it and reboot when prompted -After the reboot, open the newly-installed "HID Hide Configuration Client" -Go to the "Devices" tab and find your Keychron K2 HE (or similar device causing the issue) -Click on the device and tick the "Enable device hiding" box -Unplug the device and replug the device -Load your game and test it If your problem was caused by the same issue mine was, this will work. If it doesn't work, your problem may be caused by something else. Thanks to "nefarius" for creating and sharing "HID Hide"! Additional info: "HID Hide" runs as a Windows service in the background, and, upon installation, is set to start automatically, so after you have configured it, you don't have to revisit it unless you change devices or reinstall Windows. I think the reason the Keychron K2 HE is recognised by Windows 11 as a gaming controller is because it can be confirgured as a "controller" in the keyboard's management software. It's a pretty unique feature which I'd never come across before and therefore never experienced loss of controller functionality due to this specific issue.
Dead Space remake: Lack of PC support and fixes, no Dualsense support
I originally played Dead Space remake at my friend's on his PS5 without a single issue, and now bought it on PC and stuck with a game-breaking bug that prevents Chapter 10 from ever starting. That’s it — I’m just done? I’m supposed to accept that I can’t finish the game when I’m literally right next to the ending? People keep suggesting “just reload a save from before Chapter 9 and replay it,” but unless you somehow kept an older save from Chapter 8, how were you supposed to know this glitch even exists? No regular player is going to predict something like this until it happens — and by then it’s already too late to fix without replaying hours of content. It’s unbelievable that a full-price game can simply refuse to let you finish it. And what makes it even more frustrating is that EA clearly doesn’t care about the legacy of their own games. This issue has been known for three years and still hasn’t been touched. They also still haven’t added DualSense support on PC, something that should’ve been included from day one (but u did it for more popular ones like BF6). Fans buy these controllers expecting to get the full feature set on PC — only to find out that NONE of it works in this game. Even a regular controller rumble doesn't work with Dualsense on PC! Just wow. But the lack of care doesn’t stop at their games — it extends to us, the customers who actually buy them. We get no answers, no reactions, not even basic acknowledgement from official support or on their forums FOR 3 YEARS SINCE RELEASE: Re: Dualsense feature - Not supported on PC | EA Forums - 7166440 https://forums.ea.com/discussions/dead-space-franchise-discussion-en/ps5-controller-not-working-with-dead-space-through-the-ea-app-on-pc-windows-11/7164635 Re: Dualsense feature - Not supported on PC | EA Forums - 7166448 Any update on this issue?? I’m done. I’m not buying another game from this company ever again.
A serious bug! A critical item is missing!
The infected are displaying incorrectly, causing them to become invisible, and most are unable to attack the protagonist. Also, dropped items disappear instantly when the interact button is pressed. I tolerated these bugs until I reached Chapter 10. Suddenly, a crucial item for advancing the main quest also disappeared!!! I need batteries to open doors, but I can't find any batteries in their locations!!! (The bugs of missing infected and dropped items continuing to occur) I searched for related issues and discovered that this bug has existed for several years and hasn't been fixed! And I'm using an SSD, yet I still encountered this problem. Reloading save files and restarting the game didn't work; these problems reappear after a while. I also tried verifying file integrity on Steam, but that didn't work either. Recreating all game files or reinstalling the game (shaders, saves, etc.) didn't work either, or the problems still reappear later. Reinstalling Windows and hardware drivers didn't work either!!! It's clearly a problem with the game's scripts!!! I am extremely angry because I paid for the game, but it's riddled with serious bugs and unplayable. The game is now just a spacewalk observation video. EA, I implore you to fix this problem and give us players a belated response, as this issue has existed for several years.
Broken Menus
The dead space remake has this maddening issue with the main menu (and potentially more menus) where I get 100+ FPS and sub 100% GPU/CPU utilization but suffer immensely unresponsive menus, to the point where I can barely click options. In most cases it takes 10+ clicks to get a response in game. No overlays but the standard nVidia experience overlay (and when thats brought up the mouse is extremely slow and unresponsive in that as well. Drivers are updated, game files have been verified, no other game is causing any issue as far as I'm aware, is there any fix for this issue or has anyone even had a similar problem
Dead Dpace 2008 Chapter 9 fuse smash bug
So, Dead Space is one of my favorite games, I own it on 360/PS3 and wound up buying Dead Space 2008 and Dead Space 2 again on PC to stream them on Twitch. I even spent hours making custom art/animations so I'd have an Isaac animation that fired a plasma cutter in the corner whenever I held down the fire button in game. I even thought about upgrading the avatar for future playthoughs to match more of what I do in game. And then I got to Chapter 9 in the Valor, hard mode. I keep getting the same issue, the fuse boxes your supposed to smash are missing in the section where you have to use kineses on some mobile cover to reach and smash six fuses. They are all missing, and trying to shoot where they -should- be doesn't work either. I also noticed the glass wall that later gets smashed was already broken, as if it accidentally loaded an event status/trigger as being completed already. I see that EA has apparently known about this issue (And several other game breaking bugs in Chapter 9 alone) for years and still not fixed it. I assume I'm out of luck, but on the chance my specific information and/or bringing it up contributes to EA eventually fixing it, I'm prepared to send my save file over, and have plenty of video on Twitch of the issue in action. In the meantime, has anyone found a way to get around this issue when it happens? All of my hard mode save files appear to lead to the same bug. The only work around I've seen someone else mention, is to make another save just before the tram so you can reload the entire chapter but you have to be aware of the issue first. Is there a console command or something to restore the triggers or make the game think I finished the current task, or something I can edit into the save file directly? If the glass is smashed, does that mean another trigger has been activated to let me leave the area/chapter but the game just doesn't tell me?
Dead Space 2 - is there any achıvement on the game?
I started Dead Space 2 on Steam, but I noticed that there were no achievements, so I looked on EA Games and my game was not visible there. Even though I entered the CD key, it did not accept it. In short, I want to know if there are Dead Space 2 achievements. Unfortunately, I cannot look at them on EA. I would appreciate it if you could help me.I can't properly launch Dead Space 3. The game won't start
I can't properly launch Dead Space 3. The game won't start, and an error message appears. This message "A problem on our end caused the launch to fail. Please try again later." I was able to play Dead Space 3 before, but recently it won’t start. I have followed all the troubleshooting steps provided by EA customer support, but the problem still persists. Please advise me on how to resolve this issue, as I purchased a game that may become unplayable at any moment. I have three EA games that I can’t play, including Star Wars Battlefront II, Mirror’s Edge, and Dead Space 3. None of them are working. I paid for these games, but now I can't play them, and the issues still haven't been resolved. Should I be asking for a refund? I bought the game through Steam.
