Dead Space Crash on PC: A Frustrating Issue

As a long-time fan of the Dead Space series, I was thrilled to dive back into the action with my trusty copy on PC. However, after hours of playtime without a hitch, I encountered an unexpected issue that left me scratching my head. The game would crash whenever I tried to switch between windows or return to the game from the task manager.

At first, I thought it might be a mod-related problem, but I can confidently say that I've never installed any mods and have always played without them. The crashes started when I attempted to tab out of the game, only to find myself met with a black screen whenever I tried to re-enter.

After some troubleshooting, I discovered that the issue seemed to be related to my internet connection. Simply unplugging my internet cable or disabling WiFi/Ethernet card connections resolved the problem temporarily. However, this workaround is far from ideal and doesn't address the root cause of the issue.

I'm not alone in this struggle; many players have reported similar problems, and it's unclear whether the issue is region-specific or caused by another factor altogether. Fortunately, a few community members have shared some potential solutions that might help alleviate the problem.

For now, if you're experiencing the same issues as I am, try disabling incoming and outgoing connections to Fallout4.exe in Windows Firewall. You can also disable your internet connection temporarily to see if it resolves the issue.

While this workaround is far from a permanent solution, it's better than nothing while we wait for a more comprehensive fix. To all those who've helped troubleshoot this issue, I extend my gratitude – you're awesome! Let's hope that a more definitive solution emerges soon, and we can get back to enjoying our favorite games without interruption.

Edit: It appears that the internet connection might be the culprit behind these crashes, so feel free to try the above workarounds and see if they help resolve your issues. We'll continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available.
