Dead Space (2023) DirectX errors CTD (since NVIDIA Driver R536.40 and later)

[Blacksmith77K]

It's an nVIDIA driver problem, the stored profile is rubbish!


1. Download Nvidia Profile Inspector from https://github.com/Orbmu2k/nvidiaProfileInspector/releases/tag/2.4.0.4

2. Search "Dead Space (Remake)" and DELETE the Profile.

3. Download Dead Space (Remake) Fixed Profile from https://sourceforge.net/projects/nvidia-power-management/files/DLSS/Dead%20Space%20%28Remake%29_FixedProfile.7z/download

4. Extract "Dead Space (Remake)_FixedProfile.7z".

Dead Space (Remake)_536.40.nip > NVIDIA Driver R536.40 Dead Space (Remake) Profile

Dead Space (Remake)_FixedProfile.nip > Fixed Profile

5. Import "Dead Space (Remake)_FixedProfile.nip" (only this profile) and click "Apply changes".

6. Close Nvidia Profile Inspector.



Works with latest R536.67 WHQL too.

do i have to import and apply changes to both files is it ?

[Blacksmith77K]

No, only Dead Space (Remake)_FixedProfile.nip

The other file is a backup from the original profile

This helped a lot. Was able to play for several hours instead of several minutes.

Thanks man ^^

I've linked your post in the EA Community support page: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Dead-Space-Remake-Freezing-computer-DirectX-Error-Driver-Crash/td-p/12255687/page/7

I'm baffled EA and NVIDIA do not communicate with each other about issues like this.
It's a solution that can be easily pushed in GeForce Driver update.

The fix works great. It also seems to fix the problem of filters causing crashes. I wonder if it would fix a similar problem with BF2042. Think I'll give it a try.

ed - yup, it fixed filters in 2042 as well. Nice!

Nvidia is famous for this kind of breaking something and not talking about it crap.

By the way, I feel like it needs to be said: Step 2 is actually MANDATORY.
I tried to do everything without actually manually deleting the existing profile before the rest, but it didn't work for me.

Actually deleting what's there first BEFORE importing the fixed profile did it for me.
After that - 30 hours later and the game only ever crashed once, in a rare case of messed up physics of an object stuck on an opening/closing door.

Thanks a ton!

I'm sorry guys, can someone make a video instruction on how to use this fix, I just don't understand how I use it
For example, I don't understand this: Dead Space (Remake)_536.40.nip > NVIDIA Driver R536.40 Dead Space (Remake) Profile

thanks dude, worked like a charm
