No game comes unharmed or immaculate. It may be an indie or a triple A game, but we all know that bug fixes and patches are coming as soon as the game launches. This even happens to the extent of releasing a patch called Day 1 patch, which it can even be larger than the game itself. But anyway, I get it, you want to play the game now and don’t want to be overwhelmed with other type of information. For that reason only, here is how to fix Dead Space Remake not launching error.
How to Fix Dead Space Remake Not Launching Error
There are two options that could be causing this issue. It is either a global glitch or error that is rendering the game impossible to run, or that it is an issue with compatibly or some lack of optimization. Either way, there are some things that you could potentially help you fulfil your dream of being hunted by Necromorhps. Let’s see how to fix Dead Space Remake not launching error.

- If you have issues with your installation files, you can verify their integrity. Open Steam Library and right-click on Dead Space. Select Properties, Local Files and click on Verify integrity of game files.
- You can also clear Steam’s download cache by opening Steam, selecting Steam from the top menu bar, and then clicking on Settings. Pick Downloads and then click on Clear Download Cache.
- If you have other launchers or other applications that can consume resources, shut them down. This will prioritize the game.
- See if your firewall or antivirus are preventing your game to connect to its servers. If you want to, you can even turn them off. If not, add the game file and your client’s file as exceptions.
- Run the game as administrator to surpass any other restrictions that may be occurring while attempting to run the game.
- Keep up to date with your system’s version as well as your graphic’s drivers. Maybe there is a functionality that needs everything to be up-to-date.
- Check if your PC build is able to run the game at all. You can the System Requirements here.
- Check EA’s Dead Space help page or Dead Space’s Twitter handle to see if there are some server issues or maintenance undergoing.
