Re: PC--Dead Space 3 Random black screen and crash to desktop during gameplay

★ Novice

THank you!

V-sync off did the trick for me (No need to change the FPS).

Played for around 30min no crash....Fingers crossed.

Possible fix for black screen start up crash

★★★ Novice

For those of you that have a problem where you try to start the game but it only comes up with a black screen and an error message this might work. Thhis is courtesy of tigorekk. Hopefully this works because I haven't seen any progress made by the guys at EA.

  Re: Game still doesn't Launch "Dead Space has stopped working" [ Edited ]
I have this exact problem since i bought the game on windows 8
I spoke in chat with support and they told me that this game isn't supported on windows 8, so i thought to install windows 7 and try to launch, but it seems the same problem occurse there too.
I tried to unplug all peripheral devices, but it didn't help
My video drivers and directs updated
Video card: GTX 560Ti
Windows 8 64 bit
 
update:
found page with solutions, one of them helped me
 
go to Start Menu>Control Panel>System and Maintenance>System>[Left Panel]Device Manager>Human Interface Devices [HID] and disable the HID compliant game controller
 
Hope it helps you too

Dead Space 3 Auto Minimizes and only shows a black screen when I try to open it.

★★ Novice

I have a good computer.

 

Windows 7 64 Bit

3970k Intel Processor

770 nvidea

16gb ram

 

I download DS3, try to open it and just get a black screen that then auto minimizes itself. Everytime I click to open the window it just shows me a black screen and then reminimizes. 

 

...Wtf. I have zero problems with any games on steam ever. Everytime I get a new game on origin i have to go through this bull**bleep**.

Same here, I start the game and black screen, nothing happens, the monitor tells me that the definition is not the native (1080p), I need to stop the game from the task manager.

Did you install it on your SSD or your additional hard drive?

Dead Space 3 - Goes back to Desktop during launch

[ Edited ]
★★★ Newbie

So, I installed Dead Space 3 from the Humble Bundle deal.

 

I can launch the game just fine, but then it goes to a black screen right away. Then it goes back to the desktop with Dead Space 3 running in the background. It's like the game is alt-tabbing back to the desktop each time I click back into Dead Space 3 from the task bar. It then goes to a black screen with audio, and then goes back to the desktop like an alt-tab function.

 

None of the other games do this.

 

What is the problem?

 

Thanks.

 

(Using Windows 8)
