For me works after i turn off Beta in Origin. restarted Origin and now works perfect.

I got the Origin work in game. I must say it was some kind of miracle :D Try these steps.

1. Change game resolution to your native. For me it´s 1920x1080. Turn on WINDOWED (Fullscreen) Mode. VSync ON..

2. Go to Origin and download BETA version.

3. When you have BETA version of Origin, turn on a game, change display mode to FULLSCREEN and voila. Game works with Origin in 1920x1080 +       Fullscreen mode + Vsync ON. Even after a couple of game restarts.

I hope that my COOP mode work too.

I had same problem (OIG would not work, no matter what. No access to DLC or MP). I originally had Origin in Beta mode. Rolled it back to normal, no dice. Tried windowed mode, no luck. Ran Origin & DS3 as Admin, and no luck. Already had vsync on, but tried turning off. I tried turning on OIG support for all games. Other games seemed to work (BF3, Crysis 2 & 3). I basically tried everything everyone mentioned in these forums, except on this topic I noticed the "open port" solution I hadn't tried. I figured it couldn't hurt. I looked at my settings, and my IP was 2.4, and port 3568 was open from Origin.

I noticed this forum poster, peterhero7, posted a youtube link, and said 3569 should be open. I didn't follow the youtube directions exactly, as I just opened port 3569 (UDP) for the IP my PC had right now which was 2.10 (not 2.4 like Origin had opened). I added this, and it worked. Still haven't went back to Beta version of Origin, but I reverted/played with all other settings, and works fine now. Also, I shut my PC down everytime I'm done using it, as it's only on 3-4 times a week. I imagine I will have to repeat this fix when I actually decide to play co-op, but now I know I can. I was actually trying to check for pre-order bonuses a friend from the UK said he got with this game, but I don't see them on mine, unfortunately.

I know you may know this isn't your issue, but I thought the same. Give it 2 mins & try it. You may be surprised. Thanks for starting this thread, as web searches were coming up empty for such an immediate issue (which I assumed was related to Humble Bundle people swarming the game).

What worked for me is just going to options>visual settings and switch to windowed+vsync off and accept, then switch back to fullscreen+vsync on , hit accept. Have to do this every other time I launch the game. Switching to beta made no difference and you don't need to exit game or origin.

A couple of days ago me and my friend were playing Dead Space 3, everything went smoothly, we were having fun.  All of a sudden a get a message saying "Dead Space 3 has stopped working".  So I restarted Dead Space 3, chose to continue my co-op story, but then when I go to to invite my friend to my game again i get this message in game saying "Origin is unavailable, Co-op game invites cannot be sent to friends while Origin in-game is disabled.  Please close the game, enable the origin in game feature from the origin software settings, and then start Dead Space 3 again."  I have no clue why it is saying this even though I checked in both the application settings for Origin and the Dead Space 3 game properties and in both places Origin in game is enabled.  Please help I really want to get back to this game and finish it with my buddy.

Hello,

I just bought Dead Space 3 on the Humble Bundle, me and my friend wanted to play coop, but everytime we try to connect each others game it gives us this error : "Failed to join game". Funny thing is, if I try to connect to some else (quick play) it works... 

Please help us :/
