Wow. So funny. Someone steps up and does the simple job that a single programmer at EA could have done and then this... they take his archive down. Wow. Am I ever happy I downloaded them ahead of time.
To the creator of this amazing fix:
See if you can post your work somewhere else. Like ModDB or Nexus. This fix needs to be out there.

Oh man, yeah good thing this is not a random compressed file in my OneDrive here:
[Removed - Admin.]
Yep, that's my shared One Drive page, isn't it pretty, everyone! It has a .OOPS file on the page...I WONDER WHAT THAT COULD BE?!?!?!
I dunno, but it's certainly not EA's prerogative what you do when you go to other websites such as my One Drive page.
Also, I certainly can't take credit for that .OOPS file.... we should all thank monochrony (earlier in this thread) for that beautiful artwork that is the .OOPS file.
(And thank EA for eating such a massive bag of OOPSes....it's incredible how many OOPSes each and every EA decision maker has proven themselves capable of gobbling).

Oh, that was a close one, EA_Barry! People ALMOST were able to enjoy this game.
I see that nothing gets past you!

Can you confirm that this fix is safe? My antivirus is warning me not to use it.
indeed i can. here is the virustotal scan of the zip:

the specific .viv file in that archive:

don't know what kind of anti-virus you're using, but that fix literally consists of an extracted and repacked original file that has some hex-data edited out (the bugging sound), a readme and a batch to match file names and load order in the installation folder. the analysis shows no positives whatsoever in 58 different scans. if you don't trust my (or any other files in general), i'd recommend uploading and scanning the file to virustotal yourself: https://www.virustotal.com/
it's a website to check for viruses via multiple anti-virus programs and belongs to google: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VirusTotal
if any other of you want my fix, look up youtube videos about the problem. i posted this in like half a dozen comment sections or so. i also posted it in a reddit thread in /r/DeadSpace, which made me work this out in the first place. you can also send me a personal message, although i don't check in here that often. alternatively, send me an e-mail: stonyrue[at]gmail.com

Sorry, I have had to remove those link to those files, we cannot have random compressed archives here as they pose a security risk to players.
If your AV is being triggered by those files, delete them or let your AV quarantine them. As above, I have removed the previous links.
i posted scans above. that should be sufficient proof, that the files are safe. i'd also like to remind you that it was your own staff that asked us to find a workaround for this issue.

This mod will help all of you, like always thanks for your ``hard´´ work EA, normal people did the fix that you said that was impossible.

I think that what you hear is a sound effect of an auxiliary engine in the game. So I advise you to reduce the effect sound 'X}
