Dead Space 1/2

★★★ Newbie

So for Black Friday I got a Dead Space 1/2 bundle on steam, and SHOCKER neither of them work...whenever I launch it just comes up a black screen and then a windows error.

a metric ton of other people are having the same problem and i've tried everything and nothing will work.

Running on Windows 7 64x

Years late, but I also found none of the resolution or settings.txt fixes worked. The problem was I'm playing on an xeon with 10+ cores, and the solution is to limit to 10 or less in bios or msconfig advanced boot options.

Five years later I thank you for your answer, thats the only one that worked, limioting tthe number of cores to ten via msconfig. I also have a xeon proccessor, in my case with 12 cores.
